Contents

Prior to joining Carlton, Styles was a ruckman at Scottsdale and represented Tasmania in the 1972 Perth Carnival. He shared his league debut with fellow Northern Tasmanian Football Association recruit and Carlton team-mate Craig Davis midway into the 1973 VFL season. However, it was one of only three times that Styles played VFL football and he instead spent most of his time in the reserves.

In 1975, Styles moved to Perth and played in the West Australian National Football League with the Subiaco Football Club. In 1976, he returned to Victoria and played in the Victorian Football Association for the Waverley Football Club, where he won the Field Medal as the second division Best and Fairest in 1978. [1]

The Australian Football League stages the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in the country. However, since the late 1980s, when the former Victorian Football League expanded interstate to become the modern Australian Football League, there has not been a league-wide reserves competition; and, since 2000, there has been no dedicated reserves competition of any kind. As a result, AFL-listed players who are not selected in their senior teams are made eligible to play in one of the second-tier state leagues: the Victorian Football League, South Australian National Football League and West Australian Football League. The system used to accommodate AFL-listed players within these leagues varies considerably from state to state.

Stivey later became a noted boxer in bouts held in Perth and Kalgoorlie during the late 1920s and early 1930s.

The 1972 VFL season was the 76th season in the Victorian Football League to be contested by the Carlton Football Club.
