Bio
A tall recruit from the Maryborough Magpies in the Ballarat Football League, Rod McKindlay arrived at North Melbourne in 1957 as a promising key position prospect. Standing 188cm, he offered significant height for the era, likely suited to a key defensive post or supporting ruck role, but he found himself competing for selection during a period of considerable depth at Arden Street. With the club's reserves side securing the premiership in his debut year, McKindlay found it difficult to break into the senior twenty-two permanently, managing only sporadic appearances over three seasons. He played just five senior games for the club without troubling the scorers before departing the VFL landscape at the conclusion of the 1959 season.
