Stats
Bio
Arriving at Arden Street from Cheltenham, Roy Pope was the second of three brothers to represent North Melbourne, bridging the gap between the careers of his siblings Len and Clem. He earned his senior debut in the opening round of the 1933 season against Geelong, settling into the side as a forward-half option who could impact the scoreboard. Pope featured in nine matches during the first half of the year, booting four goals, but was unable to secure a long-term position in the starting eighteen. His brief tenure concluded midway through the season, marking the end of his VFL journey but cementing his part in a sibling trio that served the club throughout the decade.
