Career
Bryce was used up forward with success later in his career, but started out as a wingman and also played as a rover. He was the son of former Collingwood and South Melbourne player Bob Bryce. He missed the end of the 1936 VFL season and most of 1937, after he received an 18-week suspension for kicking Carltons Norm Cashin.
In 1938, his first full season back, he became a VFL interstate representative for the first time.
Bryce missed another five games through suspension in 1939. He was Essendon"s leading goal-kicker in 1940, when he kicked 48 goals.
His record in finals saw him kick 16 goals from just six game. He kicked two of those goals from a forward pocket in the 1941 VFL Grand Final, which Essendon lost.
