| Biography | Present
Andy has firmly cemented his position as a modern superstar of the AFL. One of the most recognised footballers in the game, he is also one of the most damaging to the opposition.
Andy’s fearlessness, speed and skill are features of his game admired by AFL fans across the nation - many of whom enjoy watching Andy play regardless of team loyalties.
Andy is still very much a part of the Darwin community, going home at every possible opportunity.
Andy does a great deal of charity work in Adelaide, particularly with children’s hospitals.
2004
After a slow start to the 2004 season Andy burst back into form with his return to the Crows midfield, mid-season. Andy finished 4th in the Adelaide best and fairest.
Andy reached the 200 games milestone early in the 2004 season, becoming the 5th Adelaide player to do so.
2003
Andy began 2003 with a bang, winning the 2003 Preseason Premiership with Adelaide, and was awarded the Michael Tuck medal for best on feild in the Grand Final.
Although many pundits rated 2003 as one of Andy's quieter years, Andy still managed an average of 20 disposals a game.
2002
A solid year for the champion half forward with the Crows reaching the preliminary finals and Andy polling 16 Brownlow votes.
2001
2001 was another massive year for Andy, winning both the Adelaide Crows Club Champion and the AFL Players Association Best Player awards. He also came runner up in the Brownlow medal count and again gained all Australian selection and was selected to represent Australia in the International Rules Series.
2000
Andy’s successes continued in 2000 with Andy coming 3rd in the Brownlow Medal count, just 4 points behind the winner.
He was also named as a half forward for the Adelaide Crows team of the decade.
Andy gained all Australian selection and was selected to represent Australia in the International Rules Series.
1998
Finishing the 1997 season on such a high note made Andy determined for more success, and 1998 was filled with just that.
The Adelaide Crows went down in the history books by winning back to back AFL Premierships. Not only did the club achieve the ultimate goal two years in succession, Andy became the first player ever to win two consecutive Norm Smith Medals. Not suprisingly, he also gained All Australian Selection.
1997
A memorable year for Andy. It was in this year that the Crows won their first AFL Premiership. Andy was an integral part of the team’s win, and this was reflected by him being awarded the Norm Smith Medal.
To top off an ideal year, Andy was also awarded Adelaide Crow's Club Champion. This was the first year of four consecutive years that Andy’s performances saw him selected in the All Australian team in - 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001.
1995
Andy made his debut with the Adelaide Crows and received a nomination for the Norwich Rising Star Award. From this time on Andy’s career has gone from strength to strength.
1993
Andrew left his home in Darwin at the age of 17 to play with Port Adelaide in the SANFL. He was then drafted to Fremantle, and subsequently traded to the Crows.
