Bio
Recruited from Perth in the WAFL, Rod Appleton was a rover who crossed to Victoria to join Fitzroy for the 1975 season. He managed to break into the senior side for five games, contributing two goals, but found it difficult to retain his spot in the Lions' lineup. His time at the Junction Oval proved brief, with his VFL career limited to that single season before he moved on from the club.
