Stats
Bio
Recruited from West Footscray, Jim Jewitt was a solidly built utility who made a fleeting appearance for St Kilda during the club's difficult mid-1950s period. Carrying a robust 89kg frame on his 180cm stature, he offered a physical presence and managed to hit the scoreboard on debut, booting a goal against Melbourne in the opening round of the 1955 season. He played just one more senior game—a Round 3 clash with Collingwood—before losing his place in the side. Jewitt's brief VFL career typified the high turnover of players at the Saints during an era when the club was firmly anchored to the bottom of the ladder.
