Alby Weiss joined St Kilda from Melbourne High School and made his senior VFL debut in round nine 1935. Although he struggled to cement a place in the side he was impressive enough when selected. Pacy, with good vision, he revelled in the open spaces and loved to run with the ball. He also boasted a keen goal sense, as his career tally of 94 goals in 69 VFL matches over eight seasons makes apparent. He played most of his football with the Saints on a half forward flank.
