Stats
Bio
Recruited from VFA club Williamstown after an earlier apprenticeship with St Kilda's reserves, Edmund "Ted" Clauscen joined North Melbourne in 1929 to bolster a beleaguered defensive unit. Operating primarily as a back pocket and half-back flanker, he was tasked with repelling opposition attacks for a Shinboners outfit that was struggling severely at the time. His brief two-season career coincided with the club winning back-to-back wooden spoons, meaning the majority of his 25 games were played under immense pressure in the back half of the ground. Clauscen failed to kick a goal at VFL level—a reflection of his deep defensive role—and he departed the league following the 1930 season having played in only two winning matches during his tenure at Arden Street.
