Daly was born in Numurkah but recruited from the Sandhurst Football Club of Bendigo. He experienced considerable team success during his short VFL career, not playing in a loss until his 14th appearance.[2] Daly was also a member of Melbourne's 1941 premiership team, as a forward pocket.[3] He kicked one of only two career goals in the 29-point grand final win.[2]

From 1942 to 1945, he did not feature in the VFL due to the war, during which time he served with the Australian Army.[4][5] He returned to Melbourne in the 1946 season, but would play just three games.[2]
