Hawthorn is mourning the passing of former player Ray McVilly. 

Hailing from North Hobart, McVilly made his senior debut for the club in Round 5, 1958.

His three-year journey at Hawthorn came to a close at the end of the 1960 season, but McVilly remained a very active member among the club's Past Players and Officials Association for many years.

McVilly went on to coach several years at the suburban level, including stints with, Beverly Hill/Doncaster East Football Club and Canterbury Football Club.

Hawthorn passes on its sincere condolences to McVilly's family and friends.
