Stats
Bio
Recruited from Brighton, Jack Todd was a fringe player whose VFL career was bookended by a significant five-year hiatus. He made his senior debut for St Kilda in 1898, managing a solitary appearance during a season where the Saints were firmly anchored to the bottom of the ladder. Todd eventually resurfaced in 1903 with South Melbourne, breaking into the side for a string of seven matches but failing to register a goal, suggesting a role primarily in defence or as a utility. Unable to cement a permanent spot in the starting eighteen, he left the league with just eight career games and later moved to Queensland, where he worked as a farmer and bookmaker.
