Career highlights

Val Perovic (born September 25, 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda and Carlton in the VFL.

Despite starting his career as a wingman, Perovic played mostly as a defender and was a centre half back when he first represented Victoria in 1978. After 77 games with St Kilda during the 1970s he moved to Carlton in a trade involving Alex Jesaulenko. He was a member of Carlton premiership teams in 1981 and 1982, playing in the back pocket.

Perovic often polled well in the Brownlow Medal, finishing as St Kilda's top vote getter in the 1978 awards and twice for Carlton which included an eight placing in 1983.
