Australian Football

After playing 41 WAFL games in three seasons with East Perth Peter Cransberg was taken at pick 39 in the 1989 VFL draft. He would go on to spend the period from 1990 to 1997 with the Bombers but the fact that he was never an automatic senior selection is reflected in his playing just 79 games during that time. 

At his best Cransberg was a vibrant, hard running utility but that best was only sporadically achieved. He played on a half forward flank in the 1990 AFL grand final which saw the Bombers lose out to Collingwood. He did, however, have the satisfaction of playing in two Essendon night premiership-winning teams.
