Australian Football

Mercurial and highly talented, but prone to inconsistency, Gerry Iseger was always worth having in your team because of his ability to turn a match with a moment of inspired brilliance. He was a key member of Perth's premiership teams in 1967 and 1968, booting four goals in the former Grand Final, and three in the latter, both against East Perth. He occasionally played at full forward, but was better suited to what nowadays would be called a crumbing role either off a half forward flank or in a forward pocket.

Between 1966 and 1970 Iseger played a total of 63 WANFL games for the Demons, topping their goal-kicking list on three occasions. He moved to Swan Districts in 1971 and added a final 50 WANFL games over three seasons. Iseger's last season in league football was spent with South Adelaide in 1974 where he played 11 games.
