Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Port Melbourne CYMS, Harry Bulpit was a diminutive rover and forward who joined South Melbourne during the final stages of the First World War. Standing just 164cm and weighing a slight 63kg, he relied on agility and crumb-gathering ability rather than physical presence, playing his football in the pockets and through the midfield rotation. Bulpit managed to break into the senior side for six appearances across the 1918 and 1919 seasons, contributing three goals during a transitional period for the club. While his VFL career was brief, his selection highlighted the club's search for local talent to bolster the squad as the league returned to full strength post-war.
