Stats
Bio
Recruited from Terang in Victoria's Western District, Jim Maguire was a solidly built utility who joined Hawthorn as a 25-year-old during the lean playing stocks of the Second World War. Standing 183cm and weighing 87kg, he presented as a formidable physical presence for the time, capable of holding his own in marking contests and providing a target in attack. While his time at Glenferrie Oval was brief, Maguire proved effective when given the opportunity, managing to boot four goals across his six senior appearances. His career was typical of the transient wartime era, playing a handful of games throughout the 1944 and 1945 seasons before concluding his VFL service.
