Stats
Bio
Recruited from Moorabbin and Rochester, Danny Murnane was a tall utility who arrived at the Junction Oval during a particularly bleak era for St Kilda. Standing 188cm—a significant height for the 1940s—he possessed the frame to play key position roles and showed glimpses of scoring potential, booting three goals during his brief tenure. However, he broke into a Saints lineup that was in dire straits, claiming back-to-back wooden spoons in 1947 and 1948 while frantically rotating players to find competitive form. Murnane managed just six senior appearances over two seasons, unable to cement a permanent spot in a side that won only a handful of games during his entire time at the club.
