Bio
Robert Ahmat was an electrifying yet inconsistent talent from Darwin who carried a famous footballing name into the AFL, being a cousin of fellow players Matthew Ahmat and Andrew McLeod. Drafted by Collingwood with pick 47 in the 1994 National Draft, he became only the second Indigenous player to represent the Magpies (after Wally Lovett), quickly catching the eye with his genuine pace and silky skills. Despite showing glimpses of "magic" on the wing and half-forward flank, Ahmat struggled to cement a regular spot in the Magpies' best 22, leading to a trade to Sydney at the end of 1997 in exchange for Clinton King and Stuart Mangin. He found a new lease on life in the Harbour City, playing 42 games and adding a spark to the Swans' forward setup, but ultimately his career was defined by brilliant cameos rather than week-in, week-out consistency, and he left the top level after the 2001 season.
