Andrew Newton Jarman (born 14 January 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Adelaide in the Australian Football League. An outstanding centreman at both SANFL and AFL level, his brother Darren was also an elite footballer.

ANFL career

Debuting in 1983 with North Adelaide, Jarman quickly established himself as an elite player with superb skills especially when disposing by handball. He capped a superb 1987 season with his first Magarey Medal and a Premiership Medallion as the Roosters soundly defeated Glenelg in the Grand Final, stalling the Tigers' bid for three consecutive Premierships.

In 1990 Jarman left Prospect Oval for Norwood.

In 1997 Jarman enjoyed a carbon-copy of his watershed 1987 season, winning both the Magarey Medal (shared with Sturt's Brodie Atkinson) and his second Premiership Medallion as Norwood thrashed the Port Magpies in the season decider.

In 2001 Jarman was named in the centreman position of the North Adelaide Team of the Century [ [http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/all_star_teams_(n-z).htm#North%20Adelaide 'Official North Adelaide Team of the Century'] ] and awarded Life Membership in 2006.

In 2007 Jarman was inducted into the SANFL Hall of Fame. [Rucci, M., [http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22243895-12428,00.html 'McSporran joins SA legends'] , AdelaideNow, 14 August 2007]

AFL career

Jarman was one of the first players selected on the Adelaide Football Club's inaugural list for season 1991. Ironically, the Round 1 debut for both himself and the fledgling club pitted him against his brother Darren Jarman, also an AFL debutante, who had signed with Hawthorn.

After six successful seasons with the Crows, Jarman was one of the high-profile senior players delisted at the end of the 1996 season following the arrival of Malcolm Blight. Jarman was awarded Life Membership of the club shortly afterward. [ [http://www.afc.com.au/Crows/TheClub/History/ClubLifeMembers/tabid/4495/Default.aspx 'AFC Life Members'] ] Despite speculation that Jarman would be named on Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL list for season 1997 this did not eventuate.

Jarman was named in the centreman position of the Crows Team of the Decade in 2000.

tate Representation

Jarman was an outstanding performer at Representative level, winning the Fos Williams Medal no less than five times. Twice against Victoria (1989, 1994), twice against Western Australia (1986, 1987) and once for best afield in the one-off City versus Country clash in 1990.

Coaching career

Jarman was appointed coach of North Adelaide in 2004, taking the reigning wooden spooners to their first finals campaign in seven years. Under Jarman's tutelage the Roosters improved from being wooden spooners to 5th in 2004, 4th in 2005, 3rd in 2006, 2nd in 2007 than 7th in 2008. On the 10th of September 2008 Andrew Jarman was sacked by a club he has loved all his life.
