Stats
Bio
Recruited from the nearby club Auburn, Vincent "Willie" Woolf was a defensive-minded player who joined Hawthorn during the club's difficult formative years in the VFL. He arrived at Glenferrie Oval in 1928, breaking into the senior side early in the season to play eight games for a "Mayblooms" outfit that ultimately claimed the wooden spoon. Woolf struggled to cement a permanent spot in the starting eighteen, spending the next two seasons out of the senior team before earning a brief recall for two final appearances in 1931. A scoreless career across two separate stints highlights his status as a depth player during a turbulent era, representing the many local footballers who cycled through the lineup as Hawthorn searched for a competitive formula in its first decade.
