At 185cm (6'1") in height, Collingwood's Mick Twomey was taller than his brothers Bill and Pat. Recruited from Yarra Valley,[1] he played most of his 157 VFL games between 1951 and 1961 as a ruckman. In fact he was short for a ruckman; but he had remarkable spring, and newspapers often carried photos of him seeming to soar over opponents.[2] In the 1958 VFL Grand Final, for instance, the highlights footage from Channel 7 shows him contesting ruck hit-outs and marks with opposing ruckmen who were 11 cm and 13 cm taller.[3] Over the course of his 10-year career Twomey was a member of five Collingwood Grand Final teams, enjoying premiership success in 1953 and 1958. He died in 2015.[4] References1. ^[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/206075059/19600514 Fourth Twomey Gets Permit for Collingwood, The Age, (Thursday, 21 April 1949), p.12.] 2. ^See for instance the photo in his obituary in the Melbourne Age.
