Probably best remembered today for his goal kicking exploits - he topped North Melbourne's goal kicking list on no fewer than six occasions - John Dugdale was actually a highly proficient key position player at either end of the ground. A club best and fairest winner in 1968, Dugdale played a total of 248 games between 1955 and 1970, kicking 358 goals. He skippered the Roos from 1968 to 1970. Among his interstate appearances for the VFL were matches at the centenary Melbourne carnival of 1958 when he booted 18 goals to head the series goal-kicking ladder and achieved All Australian selection.

After leaving North, Dugdale spent some time as coach of VFA side Coburg before returning to Arden Street as chairman of selectors.
