Stats
Bio
Recruited from Doncaster, Brendan Brady was a goal-kicking follower who showed glimpses of genuine talent during a brief stint with Hawthorn. He made his debut in 1940 and proved to be a dangerous option resting forward, managing a return of seven goals from just eight senior games. However, like many contemporaries of the era, his football ambitions were secondary to the war effort; Brady enlisted in the Army, a commitment that severely restricted his availability and ultimately brought a premature end to his VFL career after the 1941 season.
