Stats
Bio
Arriving at Richmond from VFA club North Melbourne, Percy Stainer joined the Tigers during their inaugural league season in 1908. His start at the top level was physically demanding; he suffered a knee injury on debut against Essendon in Round 4, forcing him to the sidelines immediately after earning his spot. Stainer showed resilience to return later that year for a six-game streak, but he soon departed Victoria to play for New Norfolk in Tasmania for two seasons. He eventually returned to the VFL for a brief two-game stint with St Kilda in 1911, concluding his career as a journeyman who played a small but documented role in the competition's foundational era.
