Stats
Bio
Recruited from Brunswick in the VFA, Graham March arrived at St Kilda as a mature-age prospect with a background of service in the Australian Army during World War II. Standing at 187cm, he offered a significant physical presence and height utility in an era where such size was highly valued, earning his opportunity in the senior side during the 1952 season. While his VFL tenure was brief, yielding just three games and a single goal, March's transition from military service and sub-elite football to the top level highlighted the gritty pathways often taken by players of the post-war generation. He departed the Saints at the conclusion of the year, leaving a small but respectful mark on the club's history during a lean competitive era.
