Stats
Bio
Recruited from Auburn in the sub-districts, Jack Bennett arrived at Melbourne in 1933 as a versatile utility capable of plugging holes across the ground. He quickly found a place in the Demons' lineup, rotating between the half-forward flank, the midfield, and defence as the team's needs dictated. Bennett was a consistent contributor during his four seasons at the top level, notably playing 15 games in 1934, though he often found himself shifted around rather than settling into a permanent role. Despite remaining on the club's list for the 1937 season, he spent the entire year in the seconds and did not add to his senior tally before finishing his VFL career.
