Bill Mohr

Recruited from Wagga Wagga, Bill Mohr became one of the greatest forwards of the 1930s and a rare beacon of hope for St Kilda during a bleak era for the club. Although he initially displayed promise in defence, his permanent shift to full-forward transformed him into the Saints' primary attacking weapon. Renowned for his safe overhead marking and an exceptionally reliable set shot, Mohr consistently generated scores from limited opportunities while his teammates struggled up the field. His ability to perform in a side that frequently dwelt near the bottom of the ladder made his goal-kicking feats even more significant.

Mohr's individual brilliance peaked in 1936 when he booted 101 goals, becoming the first St Kilda player to reach the century mark in a single season. It was a record that stood for decades until the arrival of Tony Lockett. Despite his prolific output, finishing his career with 735 goals from 195 games, Mohr never played in a final, highlighting the disparity between his elite talent and the team's overall fortunes. His legacy was cemented with his selection at full-forward in St Kilda's Team of the Century and his induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
