Maurie Sheahan was an Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL between 1929 and 1936 for the Richmond Football Club.Originally from Ballarat Sheahan was already twenty-three when he joined the Tigers but his hard and tough defensive play transformed a team renowned for its attacking power in the 1920s into a rock-like defensive unit that defied the powerful attacks of Collingwood and later South Melbourne to make the Grand Final every year from 1931 to 1934 and have the meanest defence every year from 1932 to 1935.Sheahan was a member of Richmond’s legendary “Three Musketeers” backline of Bolger Sheahan and O’Neill.
