James Sadler was an elusive, pacy and versatile player for Collingwood in 135 VFL games between 1908 and 1917. Originally from Allansford, he broke into the strong Magpie line-up as a half back flanker, but later played with equal success as a wingman and rover. When Collingwood overcame Carlton in the 1910 VFL Grand Final, Sadler was in a back pocket. He went to the 1911 Adelaide carnival with the VFL side, and also donned the Big V jumper in 1912.
