BIOGRAPHY
Kevin played as a wingman and half-back. He was originally recruited by Hawthorn from his home town of Drouin in 1977. Like his brothers Gary and Geoff he was a fast, highly skilled player who kicked the ball long distances. In Kevin's first season with Hawthorn he was one of the VFL recruits of the year, as well as playing in Hawthorn's night Premiership side. After that season Kevin struggles to recapture his early form, due to illness and injury and a dislike for the big city. Kevin later joined Richmond in 1984, and spent one season with the club before crossing to Geelong. He then coached Lang Lang between 1986 and 1988. Kevin is the nephew of Len Ablett and brother-in-law of Michael Tuck.
