Bio
Recruited from East Doncaster via Marcellin College, Michael Erwin carried a famous name at Victoria Park as the son of former player and 1982 senior coach Mick Erwin. Standing 178cm, he was a back pocket defender who earned his senior opportunity late in the 1984 season, famously making his debut in Round 18 against Richmond as a replacement for an injured Peter Daicos. Erwin managed two further appearances in 1985 but found it difficult to cement a place in the Magpies' defensive rotation, with a thigh injury ultimately stalling his momentum at the top level. Following his brief VFL stint, he continued his football journey in the VFA, playing for Sandringham, Port Melbourne, and Box Hill.
