AFL & SANFL

Representative

Andrew Newton Jarman (born 14 January 1966) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), and the North Adelaide Football Club and Norwood Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) . He is the older brother of Adelaide legend Darren Jarman and has won the Magarey Medal twice.

Jarman made his debut with North Adelaide in 1983 at 17 years of age, and quickly established himself as an elite player with superb skills especially when disposing by handball. He won the first of his two club best and fairest awards in 1985. He capped a superb 1987 season with his first Magarey Medal, and played a key role in North Adelaide's premiership victory against Glenelg. The Tigers were aiming for a third consecutive premiership, and had defeated North in two previous Grand Finals.

After winning his second club best and fairest in 1989, Jarman left the Roosters and joined Norwood. He would spend 1990 with the Redlegs before the formation of the Adelaide Crows in late 1990 saw him one of the first players signed. He would not play another SANFL game until 1994 when he made his return from injury with the Redlegs.

After being one of a number of older players de-listed by the Crows and their new coach Malcolm Blight before the 1997 AFL season, Jarman returned to the SANFL in 1997 for Norwood. "Jars" enjoyed a carbon-copy of his watershed 1987 season, winning both the Magarey Medal (shared with Sturt's Brodie Atkinson) and his second Premiership win as Norwood defeated Port Adelaide in the Grand Final.
