Norwood's Peter
Dalwood was a powerful
if ostensibly cumbersome
giant who, predictably,
was well nigh unbeatable
in the air, but
tended to struggle
at ground level.
He was also a superb
exponent of the
drop kick, which
he favoured. Principally
used as a ruckman,
he could also hold
down a key forward
position, and indeed
was the Redlegs'
leading goal kicker
on three occasions,
with a league ladder-topping
70 goals in 1946
his best tally.
Dalwood's senior
SANFL career consisted
of 147 games between
1945 and 1954. He
was a member of
Norwood premiership
teams in 1946, 1948
and 1950. In the
1946 grand final
against Port Adelaide
he booted 5 of the
Redlegs' 13 goals
to be close to best
afield. He was also
listed high among
the best players
after the 5 goals
grand final loss
to West Adelaide
in 1947. Peter Dalwood
represented South
Australia in the
interstate arena
half a dozen times,
kicking 13 goals.
