Stats
Bio
Recruited from McKinnon in the Federal League, Ken McKaige initially broke into the VFL with Melbourne, where he served as a fringe player during the early 1950s. Unable to cement a regular position in the Demons' lineup, he managed just nine senior appearances over two seasons before crossing to Carlton ahead of the 1953 season. His time at Princes Park followed a similar trajectory, where he added another ten games and kicked his solitary career goal while rotating through the side as a depth player. McKaige concluded his brief VFL career at the end of 1954, having played a total of 19 games across two clubs without securing a permanent role in either senior 18.
