Norm MacPherson was a defensive recruit from Castlemaine who earned his opportunity with South Melbourne during the early 1930s. Arriving at the Lakeside Oval as a 23-year-old, he broke into the senior lineup for the opening round of the 1931 season and held his place for seven consecutive weeks, playing his part in a backline that was often under siege. While he did not register a goal during his time in the VFL, he was a steady competitor who added depth to the Bloods' squad before adding two final games to his tally early in the 1932 season. Following his nine-game stint at the top level, MacPherson departed the league and eventually returned to regional Victoria.
