Bio
Recruited from the small country town of Thornton, John Wallace was a tall utility who arrived at Melbourne during the turbulent first season of Carl Ditterich’s reign as captain-coach. Standing 188cm, Wallace was a mobile key position prospect capable of pinch-hitting in the ruck, earning his debut against South Melbourne at the Lake Oval in Round 3, 1979. He gathered a respectable 14 disposals across his two senior appearances but struggled to secure a permanent spot in a Demons lineup undergoing a ruthless list cull. Following his delisting at the end of the season, he moved to the VFA where he played for Dandenong between 1980 and 1982.
