Empey played his early football at Scotch College and made his first VFL appearance in 1924.[1] In his 49 game career he played in nine finals, including two grand finals, both of which Richmond lost.[2] He kicked two goals from a forward pocket in the 1928 Grand Final and was a half forward flanker in the premiership decider a year later.[2]
