Stats
Bio
Recruited from Seymour in country Victoria, Tasman Knight was a defender who earned a brief opportunity with South Melbourne during the 1930 VFL season. Stationed primarily as a full back, he was tasked with patrolling the goal square and acting as the last line of defence against opposition spearheads. Despite breaking into the senior lineup, his tenure at the Lakeside Oval was short-lived, managing just four senior appearances without registering a goal before departing the league. His career stands as a typical example of the many country footballers who tested their mettle at the highest level during the Depression-era competition, serving as a depth player for the Bloods during a transitional period.
