Stats
Bio
A local talent recruited from Albert Park, Vic Smith waited until he was nearly 27 to make his VFL debut, earning a call-up to South Melbourne for the 1920 season. He wasted no time establishing himself in the senior lineup, playing 12 consecutive games from the opening round and proving to be a reliable fixture in the side during the first half of the year. Standing 175cm, Smith booted two goals during his stint—one against Essendon and another against Richmond—contributing to a squad that would eventually reach the finals. However, his career at the elite level ended as abruptly as it began; he did not feature after Round 12 and missed the club's finals campaign, leaving his legacy as a brief but consistent contributor to the Bloods' 1920 home-and-away efforts.
