Stats
Bio
Recruited from Northcote, Herman Bartlett was a versatile utility whose brief VFL career was split between two foundation clubs. He made his senior debut for Fitzroy in 1910, snagging a goal in his solitary appearance for the Maroons before crossing town to Carlton for the 1912 season. Although he added just two more games to his tally with the Blues, he demonstrated significant flexibility, tasked with roles in the back pocket alongside legendary playing coach Norman "Hackenschmidt" Clark and later pushing up onto a wing. While his time at the elite level was fleeting, Bartlett forged a successful path in country football, eventually starring in the Bunyip Football Club’s 1915 premiership side—a connection that proved vital over a century later when a team photo from that triumph allowed club historians to finally fill the gap in his pictorial record.
