Bio
A Tasmanian recruit hailing from Launceston, Harry Lakin endured a stop-start VFL career that spanned a full decade despite yielding just nine senior appearances. He first emerged with South Melbourne during the First World War, managing a handful of games as a forward before drifting out of the league following the 1920 season. After a significant six-year hiatus from the top level, Lakin was handed a lifeline by St Kilda in 1926, where he immediately made an impact by booting two goals on club debut against Geelong. Unable to cement a permanent spot in the Saints' lineup, he played his final VFL matches the following year before continuing his football journey with Camberwell in the VFA.
