Bio
A Richmond native, Jim Lacey’s VFL career was a brief but persistent effort to break into the senior ranks. He initially debuted with South Melbourne in 1907 for a solitary game before returning to the metropolitan leagues, where he served as vice-captain for Beverley and refined his game. His solid form at the lower level earned him a second opportunity, this time with his hometown club Richmond in 1910. Operating as a forward, Lacey managed to boot two goals in his four appearances for the Tigers, but he struggled to cement a permanent place in the lineup and finished his league career with a total of five games.
