Bio
Recruited from the local Catholic Young Men's Society (CYMS) competition via Middle Park, Frank Magill was a local product who earned a brief trial with South Melbourne during the final year of the Great War. He made just two senior appearances for the club in the 1918 season, stepping into a side that was in the midst of a dominant campaign. Magill faced the difficult task of breaking into a premiership-bound lineup that boasted stars like Vic Belcher and Mark Tandy, and he was ultimately unable to cement a regular spot in the best 18. While he did not feature in the finals campaign or the eventual premiership victory, his brief tenure remains a part of the club's history during one of its most successful eras.
