Bill started his football career with Trinity in the amateur league where he played seniors at the age of 17. Hawthorn had already let go Paul and Peter with clearances to North Melbourne and approached Bill at Trinity when he was 18. Bill eventally went to Hawthorn and play in the reserves and seniors (seniors on in practice matches) before leaving Hawthorn and travelling to Mordialloc. At the time the VFA was an extremely strong competition with a number of VFL players. Bill's brothers from North Melbourne Peter and Paul were both at Mordialloc. Paul was the captain and coach and all brothers played for a 5 years with Mordialloc. From Mordialloc Bill travelled to Brunswick (again the in the VFA) and from there to West Canberra. The ACT was a strong competition at the time with Cowboy Neale (Ainsley) and Robby Burns ex North Melbourne. Other players of note at West Canberra were Peter Neville (Mordialloc). During this time Bill played a major role at West Canberra and was selected in a number of state games (ACT) at this time the ACT was the only team to beat the Victorian State side (Bill being injured at this time). The ACT also participated in the Escort Championship a night competition that played at the MCG and Victoria Park.
