Stats
Bio
Recruited from South Kensington in Melbourne's inner-west, Norm Tomkinson was a local forward who made a brief cameo for North Melbourne during the 1940 season. He broke into the senior side for the Round 9 clash against Carlton, celebrating a debut win as the Shinboners held on for a thrilling four-point victory at Princes Park. Standing 178cm, Tomkinson proved to be a capable option in attack, booting two goals across his two senior appearances to maintain a handy average of a goal a game. Despite hitting the scoreboard immediately, his time at the elite level was short-lived, with his VFL career concluding after just a fortnight of football during the volatile early war years.
