Stats
Bio
Recruited from Beulah in the Victorian Mallee, Jack Rogers was a follower who briefly featured for St Kilda during the tumultuous early years of the Second World War. Standing 183cm, he provided a competitive option in the ruck and around the ground, breaking into the senior lineup to play a handful of games across the 1940 and 1941 seasons. His time at the elite level was ultimately cut short by his service in the Royal Australian Air Force, which saw him depart the VFL to serve his country for the duration of the conflict. While his career tally remained modest, Rogers stands as one of the many footballers of his generation whose sporting prime was sacrificed for the war effort.
