Sid Dyer

Recruited from South Kensington, Sid Dyer arrived at North Melbourne in 1937 and quickly established himself as a dynamic rover who could impact the game both in the midfield and up forward. Standing at just 170cm, he relied on his agility, goal sense, and ball-winning ability to trouble opposition defenders. His excellence was acknowledged early in his career when he won the Syd Barker Medal as the club's best and fairest in 1939, a season where he also finished equal sixth in the Brownlow Medal.

Dyer remained a consistent figure at Arden Street throughout the Second World War era, eventually transitioning into a permanent forward role in the latter stages of his career. This move proved highly effective, as he topped the club's goalkicking in his final two seasons, booting 55 goals in 1946 and 47 in 1947. He retired having played 155 games and kicked 321 goals, remembered as a prolific small forward and a high-quality midfielder who polled well in the Brownlow throughout his decade-long tenure.
