Career

Sherry, a recruit from Barwon, played for Geelong in the 1907 VFL season.[2][3] He came into the side in round five and played in the remainder of Geelong's games that season, a total of 13 appearances.[4] His tally of 18 goals in 1907 was enough to win Geelong's leading goalkicker award.[5]

In 1908, Sherry applied for a clearance to the Melbourne Football Club, but it was refused.[6] He instead made his way to Victorian Football Association club Prahran.[7][8]

gollark: ... an x86 assembly typing test link?
gollark: > sqlite is not less complex than this formatYes. *But*, you don't actually have to interact with the SQLite disk format directly because libsqlite3 exists.
gollark: I suspect SQLite would lose out somewhat in storage efficiency, but it could plausibly be faster for many things at runtime.
gollark: It's less complex for everyone interacting with it, since they can just... use SQLite, which has bindings for everything, instead of "zimlib". And by "efficiency" do you mean "space efficiency" or "lookup efficiency"? Because, as I said, SQLite would probably only add a few bytes per directory entry row, which is not a significant increase.
gollark: SQLite's overhead is pretty low, and the majority of the filesize is from the binary blobs which would remain the same in each.
