Stats
Bio
Recruited from Bentleigh in the Federal League, Mark McKeon had a brief playing tenure at the highest level, managing six senior games for Melbourne during the 1978 VFL season. Unable to cement a long-term spot in a Demons side coached by Ron Barassi, McKeon eventually transitioned from the playing field to the realm of sports science, carving out a significant reputation as a fitness and conditioning expert. He later returned to the AFL landscape as a High Performance Manager, most notably overseeing Collingwood's physical preparation during the club's resurgence in the early 2000s under Mick Malthouse, in addition to working with the Victorian State of Origin team.
