Stats
Bio
Dave McCulloch was a strongly built recruit from Glenthompson in Victoria's Western District who arrived at Princes Park with the physical imposingness of a key position player. Standing 188cm and weighing over 90kg, he possessed the raw size to compete in the ruck or key posts, a valuable commodity in the gritty VFL landscape of the early 1960s. He donned the number 3 guernsey and made an immediate impact, playing 13 games in his debut season as a regular fixture in the side. Despite this promising start, his time at the top level was fleeting; he managed only four appearances the following year before departing the league, a classic example of a talented country footballer who had a brief taste of VFL action before returning to the bush.
