Bradley Plain (original) (raw)

Bradley Plain (born 25 September 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon, Collingwood and North Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL). Born in Tasmania, Plain played his early football with TFL Statewide side North Hobart before crossing to fellow TFL club Clarence. Recruited by Essendon, Plain kicked 27 goals for Essendon in the 1989 VFL season and took part in their finals campaign, which ended in the Preliminary Final. He bettered that tally in 1991 with 28 goals, including an eight-goal haul in a win over Sydney at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). This performance earned him three Brownlow Medal votes, one of two occasions he received best on ground honour during his career with the other coming for a 34 disposals game against St Kilda in 1989.
