Bio
A seasoned VFA stalwart who finally got his chance at the top level, Joe Rogers arrived at North Melbourne as a 29-year-old mature-age recruit. After carving out a formidable reputation across nearly a decade with Coburg and Northcote in the Association, the fast and courageous defender wasted no time adapting to the VFL, immediately impressing observers with his sound judgment and ability to break up opposition attacks from the back pocket. He provided immediate value to the Shinboners' defence for two seasons before returning to the VFA to finish his playing days with Camberwell, eventually serving his country in World War II.
