Stats
Bio
Arriving at the Lake Oval after a stint with St Kilda, Jim Stewart was a rover and forward who provided immediate value to South Melbourne upon his debut in 1915. Though he featured regularly in his first season with the Bloods, his career was significantly interrupted by the Great War era, resulting in a complete absence from the VFL senior list between 1916 and 1918. He returned to the fold for two final seasons post-war, operating as a reliable contributor who could rotate through the forward line to hit the scoreboard, though the hiatus meant he missed out on the club's 1918 premiership triumph. Stewart eventually departed the league following the 1920 season, concluding a fragmented but serviceable tenure in red and white.
