Richmond Football Club (VFL)

He played in one First XVIII match with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1909;[3] he was a "new" player that Richmond, which did not make the finals in 1909, tried out in the last match of the 1909 season, against Geelong, on 4 September 1909. Playing at centre half-forward he kicked on of his team's four goals.[4]

Melbourne City Football Club (VFA)

He was cleared from Richmond to the Melbourne City Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1912,[5] and played against Footscray in the team's first VFA competition match, on 27 April 1912.

Hawthorn Football Club (VFA)

The Melbourne City Football Club withdrew from the VFA competition after only two seasons (1912 and 1913), and its place was taken in the 1914 competition by the Hawthorn Football Club. Kiker transferred to Hawthorn and played in its first VFA competition match, against Port Melbourne, on 13 April 1914.

gollark: Yep. mcdex automatically does those.
gollark: So, mod queue now: Redstone Arsenal, maybe Construct's Armory, maybe a TE/TiC integration mod, Ranged Pumps, anything else?
gollark: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/ranged-pumps?gameCategorySlug=mc-mods&projectID=247496 is okay?
gollark: <@335243094981214218> Know any mods adding better pumps, then?
