Isaac Quaynor (born 15 January 2000) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

State football

Quaynor played for Doncaster East (also known as Beverley Hills) together with future Collingwood team-mate Tom Phillips and then joined Oakleigh Chargers, where he was coached by Anthony Phillips, Tom's father.[1] As well as Doncaster East, Quaynor played junior football for Templestowe and for Bulleen-Templestowe in the Yarra Junior Football League.[2] In 2018, Quaynor was runner-up for Oakleigh Chargers best and fairest award, which was won by Jack Ross.[3][4] He also represented Vic Metro at the 2018 AFL Under 18 Championships and was selected for the All-Australian team,[5] despite missing the match against Vic County due to a rib fracture.[6] Quaynor played 10 games for Collingwood's Victorian Football League (VFL) side before his Australian Football League (AFL) debut, averaging 19.1 disposals and 3.6 tackles.[7]

AFL career

Quaynor was part of Collingwood's Next Generation Academy, described as "a superb decision-maker and a precise kick" who won the goal kicking test at the Draft Combine.[4] The club drafted him to their Australian Football League (AFL) squad with the 13th draft pick of the 2018 AFL draft.[8] As Collingwood's first pick of the draft, he wore the number 35 guernsey in his first season.[9] Quaynor made his AFL debut in Collingwood's loss against Hawthorn in the 16th round of the 2019 AFL season.[10][11]

Playing style

Quaynor can play as a defender or a midfielder. He is a quick and agile decision maker, using the ball effectively, and modelled his game on Western Bulldogs player Jason Johannisen and Melbourne defender Neville Jetta.[8]

Personal life

Quaynor grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Doncaster East,[12] supporting Collingwood since he was a child, idolising Scott Pendlebury, and even sitting behind the Cheer Squad during the 2018 AFL Grand Final.[8][13] His father, Yaw, is from Ghana, where his mother, Kate, met him during a music trip.[14] He is the oldest of six siblings and went to school at Doncaster Gardens Primary School and at East Doncaster Secondary College, despite Camberwell Grammar School offering him a scholarship.[15] Quaynor has also played soccer, basketball, and competed in athletics.[8]
