Crapper was a prolific full-forward for Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League (BFL), who had two stints at North Melbourne. Two brothers, Fred and Harry, played briefly at Richmond and Melbourne respectively.[2] He had come to the attention of North Melbourne scouts in 1930 when he became the first player in history to kick over 100 goals in a BFL season. Crapper was then signed by North Melbourne but would only play three games for them in 1931 before returning to Eaglehawk.[3] Crapper beat his own BFL record in 1932 when he kicked 129 goals.[4] He bettered that effort in 1933 with 154 goals in the home and away season and 163 after finals.[5] Both those tallies remain a league record. The forward made a return to North Melbourne in 1935 and kicked 10 goals from his six appearances.[3] He finally kicked a big haul for his VFL club in the sixth round of the 1936 season, with nine goals against St Kilda.[3] His eventual season tall of 29 goals was second only to Dudley Cassidy at North Melbourne.[3] Over the next three years he managed only five more games but did put in another memorable performance, kicking eight goals against Footscray on his 26th birthday.[3] Despite his efforts he still finished on the losing team, as he had after his nine-goal haul from the previous season.[3] Crapper served in the second World War.[6] References{{Commons category}}1. ^{{cite web|url=http://australianfootball.com/players/player/Frank%2BCrapper/5321|title=Frank Crapper - Player Bio|publisher=Australian Football|accessdate=10 December 2014}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Crapper, Frank}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Holmesby|first=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia Of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=978-1-920910-78-5}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 AFL Tables: Frank Crapper 4. ^The Advertiser, "129 Goals In A Season", 30 September 1932, p. 8 5. ^The Argus, "Bendigo Goal-kicker", 5 January 1934, p. 13 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=637123| title=WW2 Nominal Roll| publisher=Government of Australia}} 6 : 1911 births|1991 deaths|Australian rules footballers from Victoria (Australia)|North Melbourne Football Club players|Eaglehawk Football Club players|Australian military personnel of World War II |
