Stats
Bio
Recruited from Maryborough in central Victoria, Gervais "George" Arnott arrived at Glenferrie Oval during Hawthorn’s challenging formative years in the VFL. Utilized primarily as a full-back, he was immediately thrown into the fray, holding down the key defensive post for the first ten consecutive rounds of the 1927 season. Arnott faced a heavy workload in a backline under constant siege, though he did feature in a breakthrough victory against North Melbourne in what proved to be his final senior appearance. He departed the Mayblooms after a single season to continue his career in the Wimmera league with Dimboola, and later served with the Australian Army during the Second World War.
