"Every day youngsters are flocking into senior football. Fitzrov have one of the youngest in Eddie Hart, a brother of Arthur, who appeared against Hawthorn in his second game. He is 17 [sic], and is of the rangy type, some 6ft., and about 111⁄2 stone. Born in the Fitzroy district, his ambition has been to don the Maroon uniform. Charlie Cameron, his Second Eighteen coach, considers that he is the most promising player he has handled. He appeared very elusive on Saturday, kicks with both feet, and is a fast mover. He comes from a great football family, as his uncle is Bob King, former champion Fitzroy halfback, who has watched Eddie since a baby and taught him many points in the game ..."

"One of the greatest factors in the Maroons' grand win was the magnificent play of E. Hart at full-forward. Splendidly timed leading out, safe marking and accurate kicking enabled him to register 9.2." (Ace Players, The Age, Monday, 25 August 1947), p.8.)
