Stats
Bio
Recruited from local club East Brunswick, Tommy Wells was a tall utility who arrived at Fitzroy as a promising key position prospect. Standing 185cm—significant height for the early 1930s—he was tasked with adding aerial power to a Maroons lineup that struggled for consistency throughout the 1932 season. He finally broke into the senior side late in the year, making his debut in Round 14 against North Melbourne and holding his spot for a month-long block of senior football. While his VFL career was limited to that single four-game stint and one goal, Wells remains a figure of curious interest for collectors, as he was featured in the prominent 1932 Hoadleys card series despite his fleeting presence at the top level.
