Stats
Bio
Arriving at St Kilda with a background in the Royal Australian Navy, Merv Dihm managed only a fleeting VFL career during the 1955 season. He played eight senior games for the Saints but was unable to establish a long-term position in the side, ultimately leaving the club without registering a goal. His football journey found its true direction upon relocating to Queensland, where he signed with Morningside in the QAFL. In the northern state, Dihm developed into a formidable contributor, with his standout individual performances earning him the competition's highest individual honour, the Grogan Medal, as joint winner in 1960. While his time in Victoria was short-lived, his accolade as a state-league Best and Fairest winner highlights a talent that flourished away from the VFL system.
