Bio
George McCart was a persistent football journeyman who traversed the VFL and VFA systems in the early 20th century, representing three different League clubs for a total of just four senior games. Originally hailing from Korumburra, he made his debut with Carlton in 1905 but managed only a single appearance before dropping back to the Association to play with West Melbourne. McCart’s determination to crack the top flight saw him surface at Melbourne three years later and eventually St Kilda, yet he found himself perpetually on the fringe of selection, often supplementing his football with stints at the Essendon VFA club. A utility player who struggled to command a permanent spot in the 18, his career remains a classic example of the era's itinerant footballers who moved constantly between teams and leagues in search of a game.
