Bio
A diminutive rover recruited from Queenscliff, Jim "Dugger" Warren proved that size was no barrier to impact at the VFL level. Standing just 164cm, he was a dangerous resting forward and rotation option who averaged better than a goal a game during his four-season stint at Corio Oval. Warren’s career highlight came in 1925, where he played a crucial role in Geelong's historic breakthrough VFL Premiership side, featuring in the Grand Final victory over Collingwood. Despite his effectiveness as a goal-kicking rover, his League career was brief; he left the club after the 1928 season to accept a playing coach position with Sorrento, where he immediately steered the club to a premiership in the Peninsula Association.
