Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Geelong Juniors competition where he represented Newtown, Jack Rosser was a mid-season addition who bolstered Essendon’s ranks during the winter of 1903. Brought to East Melbourne to provide immediate depth, he broke into the senior side in June and held his spot for eight consecutive matches, playing primarily as a rotational forward. While his brief VFL career yielded just a solitary goal, Rosser served as a reliable "place man" for the Same Olds during a demanding stretch of the season before disappearing from the league level as quickly as he had arrived.
