He transferred to Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) for the 1981 season, but didn't receive clearance to play until round 12.[1] After an attempt to convert to gridiron in 1974, plus run of poor form and stints in the reserves, he left Melbourne after the 1975 season.[2] Known as Diamond Jim due to the significant transfer fee from Sturt to Melbourne at the time, he was affectionately called Topaz Tilly by Lou Richards.
