Bio
Recruited from Geelong Grammar, Jeff Brisbane was a wartime addition to the Cats whose VFL career was heavily defined by his military commitments. Serving as a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Australian Navy during World War II, his availability was sporadic, restricting him to just a handful of senior appearances. A solid mid-sized player at 178cm, Brisbane operated primarily as a forward, managing to hit the scoreboard during his brief opportunities in the hoops. He made his debut in 1944 before returning for a final stint in 1947, ultimately moving on from league football as the club transitioned into the post-war era.
