Bio
The younger brother of Richmond superstar Bill Barrot, Wes Barrot was a pacy wingman recruited from Mount Waverley. While he possessed significant speed and talent, Barrot found himself stuck behind one of the most formidable centrelines in VFL history at Punt Road, struggling to displace established stars like Bryan Wood and Wayne Walsh. He became a standout performer in the reserves, winning a premiership in 1973 and the Best and Fairest in 1974, but could only manage four senior appearances across two seasons. Seeking greater opportunity, he crossed to Collingwood for the 1975 season but added just one more senior game to his tally. Barrot eventually departed the VFL to enjoy a successful stint in the VFA with Port Melbourne, where he played in a premiership, before retiring from football at age 25 to pursue a career as a professional sprinter.
