Stats
Bio
Reefton Spicer was a local product recruited from Richmond Districts, brought into the fold during the tumultuous World War I era when VFL playing lists were heavily impacted by enlistments. A diminutive figure standing just 173cm, Spicer was thrown into the fray late in the 1917 season to debut against South Melbourne, where he showed glimpses of potential as a small forward or rover. He managed to snag a goal during his brief three-game stint across two seasons, serving essentially as a depth player while the club navigated the wartime competition. Unable to cement a permanent spot in the Tigers' senior lineup once regular personnel began to return, he departed the VFL to continue his football journey in the Association, turning out for both Brunswick and Williamstown in the years following the war.
