Laurence Gordon Slack (17 March 1915 – 5 February 1991)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Slack was a wingman, from East Geelong, who spent six seasons in the VFL.[2] He was a member of Geelong's 1937 premiership team and had 15 kicks and seven marks in the grand final.[3] Earlier in the season Slack missed four games through suspension for attempted striking, ending a four-year run where no Geelong player had fronted the tribunal.[4] He remained a regular member of the side until 1940, when he was picked just once.[5]
