He would imitate a whistle like the umps when playing on at least one occasion

In those days it was not uncommon for these positional changes
Centremen to rest at half forward
Ruck Rovers, were usually taller 6 foot players who would rest at times on the back pocket
Ruckmen would mostly rest in the forward pockets
Rovers would rest predominantly in the forward pocket

BRIAN MULVIHILL
When I think of em, I firstly think of Brian Mulvihill
Brian loved his races
Quite an affable character, very sociable person, everyone I know liked being around the big fella
I have crossed paths with "' Mulva."" a top bloke
And he could really play football
Brian was a star forward who commenced playing footy in 1965 for WT
These are his stats for the 3 clubs he represented[these stats vary from the sources I checked out]
65-70 WT 200 goals[89 games]
71-72 NM 25 goals [24 games]
73-75 WT 186 goals [47 games]
76-77 WDV 62 goals [24 games]
184 total games
473 goals
His SANFL career was
160 total games
448 goals [or 427 goals from another source]
In 1967 he played perhaps one of his greatest games kicking 12 goals against WDV
