He played 130 games for Melbourne between 1923–24 and 1926–32. He kicked 61 goals.[1] Abernethy was originally from Shepparton and attended boarding school at Wesley. Abernethy had a successful junior career for Wesley, being the champion player of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria. As such he attracted interest from many VFL clubs. Because he had been living in St Kilda, the St Kilda claimed that Abernethy was in their zone. The Demons, however, argued that he technically still lived with his parents in Shepparton. The VFL committee ended up siding with Melbourne's point of view and the Demons signed Abernethy.[2] Abernethy played for Melbourne in 1923 and 1924, but moved back to Shepparton in 1925, to further his law career.[3] Abernethy came back to play for Melbourne the next season and was a part of their premiership team. He continued to play for the Demons until his retirement in 1932. Abernethy was made a life member of the Melbourne Football Club in 1961.[4] In 2008, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Melbourne Football Club's founding, the Demons named their "150 greatest heroes", of which Abernethy was one.[5] References1. ^{{Ref AFL Encyc|4th|1}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1886632 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=29 March 1923 |accessdate=9 December 2010 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2072886 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=2 April 1925 |accessdate=9 December 2010 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Demons for Life|url=http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/2551/default.aspx|publisher=Official AFL Website of the Melbourne Football Club|accessdate=9 December 2010|date=17 August 2005|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101227144737/http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/2551/default.aspx|archivedate=27 December 2010|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Burgan|first=Matt|title=Melbourne's 150 heroes named|url=http://www.melbournefc.com.au/tabid/7415/default.aspx?newsid=61017|publisher=Official AFL Website of the Melbourne Football Club|accessdate=9 December 2010|date=7 June 2008|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091022100053/http://www.melbournefc.com.au/tabid/7415/Default.aspx?newsid=61017|archivedate=22 October 2009|df=dmy-all}} External links{{Commons category}}
