Stats
Bio
Recruited from Oakleigh District, Jim Camm was a tall key-position prospect who joined St Kilda as a 23-year-old looking to make his mark in the VFL. Standing 189cm and weighing 86kg, he possessed the physical frame of a ruckman or key defender, offering size to a Saints lineup that was enduring a horror run during the 1955 season. He donned the number 19 guernsey and broke into the senior side midway through the year, but his opportunities were limited to a four-game block in a team that failed to win a match during his inclusion. Camm was unable to cement a long-term spot in the strugglers' best 22 and his top-level career concluded after that single brief stint, marking him as one of the many players who passed through the Junction Oval during the club's lean post-war era.
