Stats
Bio
A local product recruited from Ascot Vale, George Faulkner was a lively forward who showed flashes of potential during a brief stint at Essendon. He hit the ground running in the 1920 season, booting 10 goals in 12 games to establish himself as a capable option in attack. However, he was unable to sustain that momentum, adding just three senior appearances the following year before departing the league. His exit came just seasons before the Bombers entered their golden 'Mosquito Fleet' era, marking him as a contributor during the club's transitional years rather than its premiership success.
