Bio
Hailing from South Australian football royalty, Andrew Obst carried one of the most famous names in Port Adelaide history, with his grandfather, father, and uncle all having starred for the Magpies. Although drafted by Melbourne in 1987, he remained in the SANFL to feature in Port Adelaide’s back-to-back flags before finally moving east to make his AFL debut in 1990 as a seasoned mature-age recruit.
At Melbourne, Obst established himself as a hard-running midfielder and utility capable of winning his own ball and drifting forward to hit the scoreboard. He became a consistent fixture in the Demons' lineup throughout the 1990s, finishing third in the club's 1996 Best and Fairest count. His AFL career concluded on an agonising statistic; a late-season suspension for striking in 1997 left him stranded on 149 games, just one short of the major 150-game milestone. He subsequently returned to the SANFL, adding a third premiership to his tally with the Port Adelaide Magpies in 1999.
