Stats
Bio
Hector McNeil was a solid utility player who briefly featured for Fitzroy during the club's successful 1922 premiership campaign. Arriving at Brunswick Street as a 20-year-old, he stood 183cm and weighed 83kg, a substantial size for the era that allowed him to compete in key positions or on the flanks. He made his senior debut in the opening round of the 1922 season against St Kilda, joining the lineup as the Maroons looked to regenerate their list. McNeil managed seven games and kicked two goals throughout the year, providing valuable squad depth for a team that ultimately went on to defeat Collingwood in the Grand Final. Despite his contributions during the home-and-away season, he did not feature in the finals series and left the VFL after just one year at the top level.
