He played his early football at Collingwood as a centreman before developing into a defender and was a member of two losing VFL Grand Finals. He was a Victorian interstate representative in 1967.

Tully finished his playing career in the WANFL with Claremont and represented the state at the 1972 Perth Carnival. He later became coach of the Glenorchy Football Club.
