Bio
Recruited to the Pivotonians as a twenty-one-year-old, John McKenzie’s VFL career was a brief cameo played out at Corio Oval during the 1906 season. Standing 178cm, he offered a versatile frame for the era and made an immediate, albeit small, impact by booting a goal during his two appearances. Despite breaking into a Geelong side that was successfully pushing towards the finals that year, McKenzie was unable to retain his place in the senior lineup or secure a return in subsequent seasons. He remains a footnote in the club’s history, representative of the many hopefuls who briefly tasted elite football in the league’s first decade before drifting back to the local ranks.
