Mulvihill was a key forward and took home the West Torrens goal-kicking honours every year from 1966 to 1969. His efforts in 1969 were enough to earn him selection in The Advertiser's 'Team of the Year' as a centre half forward.
He spent two seasons at North Melbourne, putting together 15 games in his first year for a return of 16 goals. Used at times as a half back flanker, he kicked nine goals from his name games in 1972.[2]
In 1973, Mulvihill returned to West Torrens and topped their goal-kicking that season as well as in 1974 for the sixth time to equal the club record. His career best tally in a game was 12 goals against Woodville, the club at which he finished his career.[3]
Brian Mulvihill died in July 2013.[4]
