Stats
Bio
Recruited locally from Christian Brothers College St Kilda, Dave Hughes was a key position prospect who joined the Saints as they began their historic rise under Allan Jeans. Standing 185cm, he offered a strong target in attack and was handed his debut as a 19-year-old during the 1964 season, a breakout year that saw the club snap a decades-long finals drought. However, Hughes found opportunities scarce in a rapidly improving side, struggling to command a spot in a forward line increasingly dominated by the brilliance of Darrel Baldock. He managed just two senior appearances without registering a goal before departing the VFL scene, serving as a depth player during the foundation years of St Kilda's premiership era.
