Despite being lightly built Harry Davie was an excellent key position forward who began his senior career by registering 160 goals in 49 VFL games with Melbourne between 1924 and 1927. He was the Fuchsias' leading goal kicker on two occasions. After a staccato 1928 season (nine games, 26 goals) with Carlton, Davie crossed to VFA club Preston where, after spending his first few years at the goal front, he developed into a more than handy centreman, running fourth in both the Recorder Cup and VFA Medal in 1933.
