Playing as a Half back flanker initially, Mohr later became one of the league's greatest full forwards. He kicked 101 goals in 1936 (the first Saints player to kick over 100 in a season).
A good mark, from either behind or in front of a defender, he possessed an ability to kick straight from any angle. Favoured the drop kick.
Captained the Saints in 1937. Was St Kilda's leading goalkicker every year except his last in 1941.
