Stats
Bio
Hailing from the historic town of Beechworth in northern Victoria, Marcus Hines was a diminutive rover who briefly featured for St Kilda during the tumultuous early years of the Second World War. Standing at just 170cm, the lightweight small forward joined a Saints lineup that was struggling desperately at the foot of the VFL ladder, attempting to carve out a niche in a side that claimed the wooden spoon during his debut season. He managed to break into the senior team for four games in 1940 and added a further pair of appearances in 1941, booting two career goals during a period where team lists were often unstable due to the global conflict. His time at the Junction Oval was ultimately fleeting, standing as one of the many short-lived careers that characterized the league's wartime era before he faded from the top-level scene.
