Bio
Arriving from South Yarra, George Stewart made his debut for St Kilda in 1898, stepping into a side that was grappling with the high standards of the newly formed VFL. Standing 178cm, he served as a durable utility player who held his spot during the club's most trying historical period, a time when the Saints finished last in three consecutive seasons. Stewart was a regular contributor during the infamous 1899 season, where the team failed to register a single win, yet he continued to battle against superior opposition until his final appearance in 1900. While team success eluded him, his 29 games represented a significant commitment to a club fighting for respectability during its formative years.
