Stats
Bio
Born in Fitzroy and recruited from the Preston ranks, Sam Davison arrived at Brunswick Street during the club’s absolute peak in the Edwardian era. Joining the reigning premiers in 1905, he faced the formidable challenge of breaking into a lineup brimming with stars like Gerald Brosnan and Percy Trotter. Davison, a 177cm utility, earned his opportunity midway through the season, making two senior appearances as the Maroons marched toward back-to-back flags. Despite managing to debut in a championship year, he could not displace the established veterans and was eventually squeezed out of the side, his brief tenure serving as a testament to the incredible depth of the Fitzroy list during its most dominant decade.
