Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Ormond Amateurs in the VAFA, Stephen Russ was a mid-sized utility who joined South Melbourne during the mid-1970s. He made his senior debut in 1975, playing five games and kicking his only career goal as a developing option for the Swans. Russ added three more senior appearances the following season but was unable to cement a permanent place in the side. His brief VFL tenure concluded at the end of 1976 with eight games to his name, representative of the depth players frequently mined from the amateur ranks during that era.
