Bio
Recruited from Old Carey Grammarians in the VAFA, John Dunshea was a versatile tall who successfully bridged the gap between amateur and VFL football in the mid-1960s. Standing 185cm, he offered Hawthorn options as a key position player or forward-ruck utility, capable of drifting forward to impact the scoreboard. He established himself as a regular contributor at Glenferrie Oval over four seasons, playing enough senior football to earn a spot in the iconic 1967 Scanlen's gum card series. Representing a pathway from the amateurs that was less common in that era, Dunshea remained a consistent squad member for the Hawks before concluding his VFL tenure at just 24 years of age.
