Bio
Recruited from St Kilda City, Robert Elphinstone joined his brother Peter at Moorabbin to become a defensive staple for the Saints throughout the 1980s. Operating primarily as a rebounding half-back flanker who could drift onto the wing, Elphinstone was distinguished by his willingness to take the game on and his booming kick, providing much-needed drive for a side that often struggled for success during his tenure. His capacity to turn defence into attack saw him earn State of Origin honours for Victoria, and he retired as a loyal one-club player and St Kilda life member after more than a decade of service.
