Bio
Recruited from the North Colts, Jack Sexton's elevation to senior football was effectively delayed by his service with the RAAF during the Second World War. He finally made his VFL debut in 1946 shortly after his discharge, operating primarily as a winger or serving as the 20th man during his brief stint at Arden Street. Unable to secure a permanent spot in the Shinboners' lineup, Sexton transferred to the VFA in 1947 to join Port Melbourne. The move yielded immediate success, as he played a vital role in the Borough's 1947 premiership victory and established himself as a consistent performer at VFA level over the subsequent seasons.
