Brendon Ah Chee (born 21 December 1993) is a formerAustralian rules footballer who played for theWest Coast Eagles andPort Adelaide in theAustralian Football League (AFL). He now plays forSouth Fremantle in theWAFL.
An agile midfielder or forward, Ah Chee was recruited fromSouth Fremantle Football Club in the2011 AFL draft.[1] His ancestors were Australian Aboriginal, Chinese, Dutch, and Scottish. His great-grandfather was Chinese.[2] He is the older brother ofBrisbane Lions playerCallum Ah Chee.Ah Chee has the nickname Polly, because of his ability to handball unusually long distances likeGraham "Polly" Farmer.
In season 2015, Ah Chee began his fourth season at Port Adelaide without a senior game to his name and needing to make an impression just to retain his spot on the list at season's end. Following some strongSANFL form, he was selected to make his AFL debut againstNorth Melbourne in round 3. He started as substitute but had a late impact, setting up the winning goal with what eventually became his trademark long range handball. Ah Chee played a further 10 games and began to establish himself as an AFL player late in the season, collecting 24 disposals, 3 goals and 3Brownlow Medal votes againstGreater Western Sydney and then 25 disposals and a goal againstHawthorn. His combination of a strong body, athletic prowess, and a lightning handball made Ah Chee a valuable contributor to the Power.
In 2017, Ah Chee requested a trade from Port Adelaide, citing a lack of opportunity as the primary reason. At the start of the trade period, he then nominated theWest Coast Eagles as his preferred club.[3] Ah Chee was traded to West Coast in October.[4]
