Stats
Bio
Recruited from Trafalgar in the Gippsland region, Jimmy Maher was a diminutive rover and forward who briefly tasted VFL action with South Melbourne in the late 1930s. Standing just 171cm, he relied on agility and sharp goal sense to impact the contest, managing to boot three majors across his four senior appearances during the 1937 season. Despite showing he could find the goals at the elite level, his tenure at the Lakeside Oval was restricted to that single year, remaining one of the many country footballers to have a fleeting but memorable stint in the big smoke before fading from the VFL scene.
