Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Williamstown CYMS (Catholic Young Men's Society) competition, Frank Neenan was a tall prospect who broke into the North Melbourne senior side during the 1936 season. Standing 188cm, a significant height for the era, he presented as a versatile option for the Shinboners and managed to hold his spot for five games, contributing two goals. However, his promising start was derailed by injury troubles that ruled him out of the entire 1937 season, effectively ending his VFL career before he could establish himself as a regular fixture. Following his brief stint at the top level, Neenan later served in the Volunteer Defence Corps during the Second World War.
