A Carlton champ of the 1870s who was enticed to Norwood when that club was building its star-studded team, Billy 'Doddy' Dedman was undoubtedly the most successful goal-sneaks of his day and was justly ‘famous for his superb accuracy and agility on the forward line’. He later became a leading administrator of the VFA.
