Stats
Bio
Recruited from St Ignatius, Maurie Sheehy was a member of a significant Magpie dynasty, joining brothers Paddy and Charlie at Victoria Park to form a strong family connection within the side. He established himself as a reliable and dashing defender, typically operating out of a back pocket or on a half-back flank where his pace and ability to rebound were valuable assets.
A fixture in Jock McHale's defensive unit during the tumultuous World War I era, Sheehy played a vital role in the club's success, featuring in both the 1917 and 1919 premiership victories. He retired after the 1922 season as a dual premiership player and a centurion, leaving a lasting mark on the club's early history alongside his siblings.
