Stats
Bio
Recruited from Seddon in Melbourne’s western suburbs, Jim Lundberg arrived at St Kilda as a mature-age recruit for the 1947 season. Standing 178cm but weighing a slender 64kg, he was a lightly built utility who lacked the physical size to contend with the era's heavier bodies but offered running power on the flanks. His brief VFL career coincided with a bleak period for the Saints, who claimed the wooden spoon that year with only a single victory to their name. Lundberg managed seven senior appearances in the struggling lineup before drifting out of the league, a typical fate for many fringe players during the club's lean post-war years.
