Pelly was a Grogan Medal winner while with Western Districts in 1956 and before that had played for Brunswick YCW. His performance at Western Districts earned him a chance in the VFL and he left the Queensland club at the end of the year to join North Melbourne. A rover, he played eight senior games in 1957 but only two in 1958.[3] He finished the 1958 season at Williamstown, having been cleared by North Melbourne in July, and was a member of their VFA premiership team that year and again in 1959.[4]
