Don Keyter (13 September 1931 – 11 November 1986)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Career
South Melbourne
Keyter, a ruckman and centre half-forward from Merbein, played 86 league games for South Melbourne, from 1953 to 1958.[2][3] He was a Victoria "B" interstate representative in 1957, against Tasmania.[2][4] Also that year, he kicked a goal to give South Melbourne a four point win over then reigning premiers Melbourne at Lake Oval in round 17.[5] His snap shot, from 30 yards out in the pocket, went through for a goal as the siren went.[5]
Coaching
In 1959 and 1960, Keyter was captain-coach of New South Wales club Griffith, then coached in the Wimmera Football League.[6][7] He joined Latrobe Valley Football League side Moe, as coach, for the 1963 season and performed well enough on the field to gain the most votes in the 1963 Trood Award & Rodda Medal count, for which he was ineligible due to suspension.[8] After another season coaching Moe in 1964, Keyter was put in charge of East Hawthorn.[9][10] Later in the decade he coached Rochester.[11]
