Vine is one of just four players in VFL/AFL history to play in a premiership on debut, along with Bill James, George Rawle and Marlion Pickett.[6][7] He had been called up, to play the 1926 VFL Grand Final, as a replacement player for Bob Corbett. A centre half-back, Vine was club captain in 1932 and 1933.[1]
