Stats
Bio
Recruited from Shepparton, Ernie Tout entered the VFL as a mature-age player, debuting for Melbourne at 28 years of age. He quickly settled into the lineup as a follower and forward, providing a physical presence and durable support for the Redlegs' on-ball division. His first season culminated in a Grand Final appearance, where he took the field in the agonising two-point loss to Collingwood. Tout returned for a second year but featured less frequently, eventually departing the club at the conclusion of the 1904 season after 19 senior games.
