Bio
Recruited from West Melbourne after an earlier stint with North Melbourne in the VFA, Will Stuckey arrived at Princes Park during the VFL's formative years. The brother of Essendon's inaugural premiership captain and Stawell Gift winner George Stuckey, Will carved out his own path as a serviceable defender for the Blues at the turn of the century. He featured regularly throughout the 1899 and 1900 seasons, often toiling in a backline that was under immense pressure as the club struggled for on-field success in its early league campaigns. While his career was short-lived compared to his famous sibling, Stuckey remains a notable figure from the era of Carlton's transition into the VFL competition.
