Anthony Furey

Recruited from Corpus Christi in North Melbourne's local zone, Tony Furey was a tall utility who largely operated as a forward during the club's mid-1980s transitional era. Standing 188cm, he offered a mobile marking option inside 50, playing his best football between 1983 and 1985 where he was a frequently used target capable of pinch-hitting in various key posts. despite showing promise as a structural player, he struggled to cement a permanent position in the starting lineup long-term. His career is noted for an unusual coda; after falling out of senior selection, he was handed a lifeline when the Kangaroos re-selected him with pick 46 in the 1989 Pre-Season Draft, returning him to the list as experienced depth, though he would not add to his career tally of 41 games during this second stint.
