Stats
Bio
Recruited from Noorat in Victoria's Western District, Jim Doolan was a mid-sized utility who managed 13 senior appearances for St Kilda across two seasons. Arriving at the Junction Oval in 1912, he featured sporadically in the lineup, often filling gaps as the team looked to build a competitive list. His second season in 1913 coincided with the club's historic surge up the ladder, where St Kilda reached its first-ever Grand Final. However, Doolan was unable to cement a permanent spot in the side, playing his final game in June and missing out on the finals campaign that saw the Saints finish as runners-up to Fitzroy.
