After 23 games with Collingwood, Tatham played for Camberwell in the Victorian Football Association until being struck off the list early in the 1938 season for disciplinary reasons.[2] Camberwell refused to grant permits for the three suspended players until the next year, at which time Tatham moved to Mordialloc.[3]
Tatham later served in the Australian Army during World War II.[4]
