Stats
Bio
Hailing from the Riverina town of Hay and educated at Melbourne's Xavier College, Jack Loughnan was an imposing physical specimen for the pre-war era. Standing 183cm and weighing a robust 95kg, he presented as a powerful key position prospect who relied on brute strength rather than pace. His VFL career was ultimately fleeting and transient, consisting of a single senior appearance for Carlton in 1912 before crossing to Fitzroy for a solitary game the following season. While his on-field impact was limited to two matches, Loughnan later established a legacy of genuine distinction beyond football, serving as a Captain in the 58th Battalion during World War I where he was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry.
