Peter Blucher

So he was longer a player than not.

the youngest son of Peregrine and Lillian Cumberland from Toorak.

They're all from Toorak, aren't they?

It was a 182-centimetre running sort of ruckman, good mark, long place kick specialist, known for his ability to take the ball out of the ruck with a hand pass.

Initially, he played in Tasmania.

Then he had the first of five stints in the AFL.

First one at Melbourne, he played 50 games and won a flag in 1900.

In early 1902, he was cleared to WA, but there's no record of him playing there.

He did play in the Metropolitan Junior League of Melbourne, winning the flag against Brighton with the Old Collegians.

In 1903, he went to St Kilda for the first of four times.

Played 26 games in two years.

Took them from Woodenspooners without a win in 02.

They finished fifth in 03.

Then he played, just for something completely different, went to the Auckland Imperials in 05-06.

In 06, in 07 and 08, back at St Kilda for the second time, 28 more games, member of their first final side in 1907.

Then he hadn't been to South Australia, so bang, he had three years at Sturt in the Sandville where he won a McGarry medal in 1911, was a member of the South Australian side and won a national title.

1912, back at St Kilda.

Of course, that's what you do.

62 games, was a standout in their first grand final loss to Fitzroy in

that time, so they're getting better every time he goes back.
