A
full-forward who was small in stature, Woods was capable from outside 50 and became known for his accurate place kicks. Woods came to Geelong from local side Wellington and debuted late in the
1901 VFL season. By the end of the year he had made five appearances, the last of which was a semi-final loss to
Collingwood. He topped Geelong's goal-kicking for the first time in 1902, with 16 goals, despite only appearing in the opening eight rounds. In 1903 he played every game and kicked a club high 34 goals, six of them in a win over
Essendon at
Corio Oval. That season he missed out on winning the
VFL Leading Goal-kicker Award by one goal, to Collingwood's
Teddy Lockwood. He left for
Victorian Football Association club
Prahran in 1907. ==References==
