Brandan Parfitt (born 27 April 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Parfitt was born and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory and is of indigenous Australian heritage.[1] He is Larrakia and Warumungu.[2] He spent much of his junior football at the Nightcliff Football Club in Darwin.
He was drafted by the Geelong Football Club with their first selection and 26th overall in the 2016 national draft.[3] He made his debut in the 42–point win against Fremantle in the opening round of the 2017 season at Domain Stadium.[4] After his third match, he was named the round nominee for the rising star for his performance in the 29–point win against Melbourne at Etihad Stadium in round three, in which he recorded 23 disposals and five tackles.[5]
Parfitt was part of the Geelong team that played in the 2020 AFL Grand Final against Richmond, starting on the interchange bench. It was later revealed that he played out the game with a broken thumb after suffering the injury during the first quarter.[6]
In August 2022, Parfitt signed a new contract keeping him at Geelong until the end of the 2024 season.[7] He would start as the tactical substitute in the 2022 AFL Grand Final[8] in place of injured teammate Max Holmes. Parfitt would come on during the last quarter of the match, kicking a goal almost immediately after replacing Cameron Guthrie.[9]
Updated to the end of the 2022 season.[10]
