Career
Gallus, a ruckman and forward, first joined Melbourne in the early 1960s, from Drouin. In his first stint at the club, Gallus appeared in the VFL reserves competition, before leaving for Waverley, where he played in the 1966 VFA season, mostly as a centre half-forward. From 1967 to 1970, Gallus played in the Latrobe Valley Football League (LVFL), for Bairnsdale and Maffra.
Back at Melbourne in 1971, Gallus played 20 senior games in his debut league season.
His 31 goals for the year was the second most by a Melbourne player, behind Paul Callery, who kicked 38. He played a further eight games in the 1972 VFL season.
He later returned to Drouin to finish his career, after playing for Warragul and winning a third LVFL best and fairest award, in 1975.
