Bio
Recruited from Daylesford in the Central Highlands, Norm McKenzie was a highly skilled utility who found a home on the wing and half-back line for South Melbourne. Arriving at the Lake Oval in 1959, he quickly established a reputation as a technically gifted ball user, widely acknowledged as a master of the drop kick and the stab pass during an era when kicking styles were evolving. While his VFL career was relatively brief, spanning 36 games over four seasons, he was valued for his ability to hit targets and set up play from the back half. After departing the Bloods, McKenzie cemented a lasting legacy in local football as a coach and administrator with the Keilor Football Club.
