Stats
Bio
Recruited from East Brunswick, Doug Guy was a disciplined and reliable defender who had to fight hard to establish himself at Princes Park. While he drifted in and out of the senior side during his first two seasons, he eventually cemented a spot in the backline, becoming a key contributor during the Blues' strong 1952 campaign. He notably featured in the club's heartbreaking semi-final loss to Fitzroy that year, holding his own in high-pressure finals football. Despite his ability to play a "shut down" role on dangerous forwards, Guy’s career was hampered by persistent knee issues, which eventually restricted him to just 39 games in the number 4 guernsey.
