Jack Harmer Broadstock (1 December 1920 – 26 September 1995)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who started his league career with West Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1938 before moving to Melbourne to play for the Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1943 and winning a premiership with the club in his debut season.
Career
In just his sixth VFL game, Broadstock became a premiership player when he was the centreman in Richmond's winning 1943 VFL Grand Final team. He played finals football again the following season and kicked three goals in a Semi Final loss to Fitzroy.
Broadstock had started his career at West Adelaide in 1938 and returned there in 1947. He missed out on playing in their premiership side that year when he was suspended the week before for hacking at Port Adelaide ruckman Bob McLean.
He captain-coached Boulder City to a Goldfields National Football League premiership in 1948, having spent the early part of the season at West Torrens. Broadstock returned to West Torrens the following season and was a losing Grand Finalist. Back at West Adelaide in 1950, he was captain coach for the year before announcing his retirement.
