Bio
Hailing from Williamstown in the VFA, Tom O'Halloran was a versatile tall capable of shouldering the ruck load or holding down a key position in attack. He made an immediate impact upon arriving at South Melbourne, becoming a premiership player in his debut season. O'Halloran proved the hero of the 1918 finals campaign, booting a clutch late goal in the muddy semi-final against Carlton to seal a thrilling five-point victory that kept the Bloods' flag hopes alive. He then lined up at centre half-forward in the Grand Final triumph over Collingwood, cementing his place in club history. A three-time Victorian representative, he eventually returned to the VFA after four seasons at the Lake Oval.
