Stats
Bio
Recruited from St Kilda CBC, John Murnane worked his way through Melbourne's Under 19s and reserves to break into the senior side as a teenager. Standing 180cm, he was a mid-sized utility who entered the league during the Demons' difficult post-glory era, ultimately finding opportunities scarce as he played just seven games over two seasons without hitting the scoreboard. While his VFL tenure was brief, Murnane established a significant legacy in the VFA with Oakleigh, where he flourished after leaving the top tier. He played a pivotal role in the Devils' 1972 First Division premiership side and later developed into a dangerous avenue to goal, booting over 50 majors in the 1974 season to cap off a successful career in the Association.
