Ron Hall (Australian footballer, born 1921)
Ronald Clyde Hall (17 April 1921 – 16 November 1994)[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). CareerHall, a defender, was originally from Brighton, in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).[3] He joined South Melbourne in the 1941 pre-season and was offered a place on their list, but opted to return to Brighton.[4] Following a stint in Sydney playing for St George, Hall joined Melbourne in 1944.[5] Restricted by army commitments, he made only five appearances in his first two years with Melbourne.[6][7] In the 1946 VFL season he played in the opening eight rounds, but didn't feature in the side for the rest of the year.[7] He played four games in 1947, before being cleared back to Brighton mid-season, where he gained immediate selection at full-back.[7][8] In 1948 he was suspended for 12 weeks on a charge of kicking and as a result missed out playing in Brighton's only VFA premiership.[9][10] At that year's club awards, Hall was named "Best Clubman" and he would remain at Brighton for several more seasons.[11][12] References
