Stats
Bio
A local product plucked from the South Melbourne CYMS (Catholic Young Men's Society), Sid Conlon was a forward who earned his opportunity with the Bloods in the opening round of the 1922 season. Standing 178cm, he showed early promise as a goal-kicker, booting three goals across his first month of senior football while playing alongside club legends like Roy Cazaly and Mark Tandy. Despite hitting the scoreboard, Conlon struggled to cement a permanent spot in a competitive South Melbourne lineup that finished just outside the top four. His VFL career was ultimately limited to that single four-game stint at the start of the year, after which he drifted out of the senior side.
