Stats
Bio
Recruited from East Keilor in the Essendon District Football League, Stephen Hickey was a towering ruckman who provided depth for North Melbourne during the mid-1980s. Standing at an imposing 198cm, he possessed the necessary height to compete at the stoppages but found it difficult to secure a permanent position in the senior side, often serving as a backup option in the ruck division. His career was characterised by intermittent appearances rather than sustained runs in the first XVIII, and his return of just two goals across 37 games reflected a game style that rarely saw him venture forward of centre to impact the scoreboard. Hickey remained at Arden Street for four seasons before departing the VFL landscape at the conclusion of the 1988 season.
