Bio
Originally from the ACT club West Canberra, Adam Garton established his reputation as a key forward in South Australia, where he became a two-time premiership player with Glenelg. Standing 194cm, he was a focal point in the Tigers' attack during their dominant mid-1980s era, famously booting four goals in the 1985 SANFL Grand Final victory over North Adelaide. His strong form attracted the attention of the newly formed Brisbane Bears, who selected him with pick 27 in the 1986 VFL Draft to bolster their inaugural list. Garton made his VFL debut in Round 1, 1987, kicking a goal in a heavy defeat to Carlton, but struggled to hold a regular spot in the senior side, adding just two more appearances over two seasons. After a brief return to Glenelg, he eventually settled permanently in Queensland, where he established a successful architecture firm and served on the board of the Southport Sharks.
