Alf Tredinnick (18 June 1873 – 19 May 1910)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2] Tredinnick was recruited from the Goldfields of Western Australia, where he was known as an all-round sportsman who played football, cricket and ran competitively as a sprinter.[3] He was an employee of the Western Australian Bank while living in Kalgoorlie, which meant he had to run under the assumed name "Alf Hall".[4] He moved to Victoria in 1901 and played for Melbourne in the VFL for a single season. In 1902, he won the Stawell Gift, Australia's most prestigious running race.[3] Tredinnick died in 1910; his obituary remembered him as "one of the best footballers and athletes in the [Castlemaine] district".[5]
