Teams

Recruited from the Kilcunda Football Club in the Bass Coast region, Joe Dell was a country prospect who earned a brief trial with St Kilda during the 1937 VFL season. Standing 180cm, he was brought into the senior lineup as a potential forward option for a Saints side attempting to climb the ladder. He managed to hit the scoreboard, booting two goals across his two senior appearances at the Junction Oval, showing he could find the goals at the elite level. Despite this promising start, his time in the VFL was fleeting, and he departed the scene after just a fortnight of senior football, leaving him as one of the many short-term players to pass through the club during that era.
