Stats
Bio
Recruited from Xavier College, Martin McQuade was a diminutive forward who earned a brief call-up to the senior side late in the 1915 season. Standing only 170cm and weighing just over 60 kilograms, he was a lightweight option in attack who made his debut in Round 17 against South Melbourne. McQuade played the final two matches of the year and booted his only career goal before the Redlegs went into recess for three seasons due to the First World War. He did not return to the VFL when Melbourne resumed competition in 1919, leaving his two-game stint as a unique snapshot of the club's final days before its wartime hibernation.
