Stats
Bio
Arriving at Glenferrie Oval from Taradale in country Victoria, Charlie McGillivray was a powerfully built recruit who briefly featured for Hawthorn during the 1933 season. Standing 185cm and weighing 91kg, he possessed a formidable frame for the era and was brought into the senior side midway through the year to add size to the "Mayblooms" lineup. He made his debut in Round 12 against St Kilda and retained his spot for subsequent matches against Melbourne and Collingwood, likely utilised as a follower or defensive anchor given his physical dimensions and lack of goal-scoring output. Despite his imposing stature, McGillivray was unable to cement a permanent position in the team, and his VFL career concluded after just three consecutive appearances. He later served in the Australian Army during the Second World War.
