Who is Mick Donaghy?
Michael "Mick" Donaghy is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and Geelong in the Victorian Football League.

He began playing for Geelong in 1900 and missed just one game in each of his first two seasons, becoming an integral member of the side. A key position player, Donaghy was known for his marking ability and was good enough to twice represent the VFL at interstate football.
