I’m old enough to remember Kevin playing for the Hawks. Sad news, rest in peace Kevin.

Sad to hear. Could play had a heap of pace like brother Geoff. Famous for ripping off Bruce Doull's headband in a night match

awesome, but quirky, bloke.
back in the day, didn't appear at PP for a seconds match, Des Meagher found out a few days later he'd stayed in Drouin that morning as "the fishing was great"
needless to say, was shipped off after that. I honestly think he was the most talented of all the brothers, including Gary, but just had absolutely no desire to focus on being a better footballer. Even quicker than Geoff, surest hands I've ever seen, and hard at it.
Honestly could have been anything as a footballer.

I notice Geelong and Richmond have given a tribute and acknowledged his passing on social media. A bit surprised our club has not done the same

The only time the seemingly "unflappable" Bruce Doull lost his cool
