Past Jared Brennan (2003-2010)

7.5 If I remember correctly...

From memory it was only a week or two after Browny kicked 10 against Pagan's Blues.
Remember a commentator saying how pleased Brown would have been to have lost his record so quickly. Not

That was the 93 point unexpected flogging at the MCG if I recall correctly. One of the most fun and unexpected results in the last 10 years.

We weren't even meant to get close to them in that game, let alone destroy them by that amount.

Funny how history repeats itself sometimes

Easter 2003. One of the rare times I've happened to be in Brisbane when we were playing. He turned that game around when Leigh put him on Tarrant. Tarrant was the most important player on the field in the first half, hardly sighted in the second. One of the best debuts I've ever seen.

Goal from vulture street at a crucial point was pretty handy too!

Best debut I can recall to be honest. He traded off that game for another 5 years..

Where's Leigh Matthews?

Oh alright, I 'll say it....

Debuts are never as good or bad as they seem.

Ex-Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast AFL player Jared Brennan umpires junior NTFL game featuring his junior club Southern Districts
JARED Brennan threw the ball up, blew his whistle and even tended to a Southern Districts junior footballer who was stretchered off after hitting the deck hard in a tackle.

But it was not until the dying minutes of yesterday’s under-16 boys’ game at Norbuilt Oval that the ex-AFL player truly became an umpire — and was seen as one.

Good on him. Bit surprising given he never seemed all that interested in footy but maybe he doesn't have much else to fall back on.

Former Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns AFL star Jared Brennan signs with Park Ridge Pirates

THE Park Ridge Pirates have snared the signature of former AFL star Jared Brennan. The 32-year-old played 173 AFL games for the Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns in an 11-year career after being drafted by the Lions with the third overall pick in the 2002 draft.

Brennan retired from the AFL at the end of the 2013 season and has since played in the Northern Territory Football League. Park Ridge president Andy Colenso said the club was thrilled to have secured Brennan’s signature. “He’s got a stepbrother, Brian Watts, that plays with us so we already had that link to him,” Colenso said.

“We’re doing some youth suicide prevention stuff and Jared was keen to get involved in that, with the opportunity to kick the ball around with his stepbrother. “He’s great during the breaks between quarters and he brings so much to the team in terms of live feedback and positional play or individual advice. “When he speaks, everyone listens.”

Brennan has played three games for the Pirates thus far and has settled into a familiar utility role that features stints of him playing on ball, up forward and down back. “He reads the game extremely well,” Colenso said.

“He moved back to Brisbane to be closer to his family so we’re just grateful whenever he can play for us. “He’s signed for the rest of the season and at the moment he’s playing every second week, but we’re just giving him space and we understand how important family is to him.”
