Stats
Bio
A genuine all-rounder in the strictest sense, Norman Good arrived at the Students via Geelong Grammar and established himself as one of Melbourne University’s premier athletes, earning a rare "Triple Blue" in football, cricket, and rowing. He broke into the VFL senior side midway through the 1909 season, manning a defensive post for four matches as the amateurs struggled against the competition's heavyweights. However, his football tenure was abruptly curtailed by the demands of his professional life; just weeks after his debut, he accepted a residency at Perth Children's Hospital, forcing him to hang up his boots and move west immediately. While his VFL career was fleeting, his sporting prowess continued in Western Australia, where he went on to play first-class cricket for his adopted state before settling into a long career as a country doctor.
