Jarman Impey (born 9 July 1995) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Port Adelaide Football Club from 2014 to 2017.

Early life

Of Yorta Yorta indigenous descent,[1] Impey spent his childhood in Shepparton, Victoria. He played his junior football with the Shepparton Bears and the Shepparton Swans before selection in the Murray Bushrangers TAC Cup team and Victoria Country at the 2013 AFL Under 18 Championships.[2][3]

AFL career

Impey was drafted by Port Adelaide with their first selection, pick 21, in the 2013 AFL draft. He made his AFL debut against Carlton in the first round of the 2014 season. Since making his debut, Impey has been used a back pocket shutdown roll on small forwards. Impey has had mixed results but has been successful against the likes of Hayden Ballantyne, Eddie Betts and Jay Kennedy Harris. In round 8, 2014, Impey was the Rising Star nominee for his defensive performance against Fremantle's Ballantyne.[4]

The start of Impey's 2015 season was curtailed by a hamstring injury; however, he only missed one game after returning from injury in round 7. His development into a small lockdown defender continued for the rest of the season, and in the round 12 match against Carlton he recorded a career-high 23 disposals and a season-high four inside-50s.[5]

2016 saw Impey move into Port Adelaide's forward line, where he excelled as a small forward with a series of elite performances, including three goals against Richmond to lead the Power to victory. He capped off his first season in the forward line by winning the Gavin Wanganeen Medal as Port Adelaide's best player under 21.[6]

Impey was suspended by the club for an off-field indiscretion during the summer break and missed round 1 of the 2017 season but bounced back with a handy contribution of 19 disposals and one goal in round 2 against Fremantle.[7][8] The round 6 match against the Brisbane Lions saw Impey kick a career-high four goals.[9]

During the 2017 trade period, Impey was traded to the Hawthorn Football Club.[10]

On July 21, 2019, Impey suffered an Anterior cruciate ligament injury against Geelong, ending his season.[11]
