Stats
Bio
Born in North Melbourne, Kevin Hayes was a local product who earned his opportunity with the Shinboners in the years immediately following the Second World War. Standing 185cm and weighing 90kg, he was a physically imposing figure for the era and was built to handle the rigours of key position football or the ruck. Hayes broke into the senior lineup midway through the 1947 season, making his debut in a home clash against Richmond at Arden Street. He managed to hold his spot for a month of football, featuring in victories over St Kilda and Hawthorn, but did not record a goal during his stint. His VFL career concluded at the end of that single season, leaving him as a brief but notable contributor to the club during a transitional period in its history.
