Stats
Bio
Recruited from the country town of Yea in the Goulburn Valley, Peter Dolling was a rover and small forward who played two seasons for South Melbourne in the early 1960s. Standing at 177cm, he broke into the Bloods' senior lineup during the 1962 season, playing 12 games but managing just a single goal in his debut year. He showed greater potency in attack the following season, booting eight goals in 11 appearances, but struggled to hold a permanent place in the side during a lean era for the club. Dolling's VFL career concluded after just 23 games at the Lake Oval, a typical narrative for many country recruits of the time who briefly tried their luck in the city before returning to regional football.
