Stats
Bio
Recruited from Fairfield, Jack Streader established himself as a sturdy half-forward and follower for Fitzroy, using his solid 92kg frame to impose himself on contests. Although primarily a workmanlike rotation player rather than a headline star, he cemented his place in club folklore during the 1952 season when he developed an uncanny knack for kicking match-winning goals. Dubbed "Last Goal Streader" by the press, he booted the deciding majors in thrilling victories against Carlton and Footscray that year, demonstrating rare composure in the dying moments of tight games. He remained a consistent contributor for the Maroons for seven seasons, finishing his VFL career in 1955 with 69 games to his name.
