Stats
Bio
Recruited from St Michaels, Frank Stephens was a key-position sized forward who showed early promise in the immediate post-war VFL competition. Standing 185cm, he utilised his frame effectively at North Melbourne, managing to kick more goals than games played during his two seasons at Arden Street. Despite his scoring efficiency, he transferred to South Melbourne for the 1948 season, where he added just three senior appearances to his tally. Stephens left the VFL shortly after to pursue opportunities in country football, becoming a notable player for Corowa in the Ovens & Murray League before taking on a captain-coach role with Culcairn.
