Brad Scheer (born 31 August 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Early life
Scheer was born in Esperance, Western Australia but moved to the Gold Coast at the age of 13.[1]
Junior football
He played his junior football for Palm Beach Currumbin Australian Football Club and set a club record for the youngest senior debutant at the age of 15.[2] He also joined the Gold Coast Suns' academy in his teenage years as well as attending Palm Beach Currumbin High School.[3]
Scheer was selected to represent both Queensland and the Allies in 2016 at the under 18 national championships. While playing for the Allies, Scheer kicked the game-winning goal from the boundary to seal a huge victory over the Victorian Country team.[4] Despite spending the early part of his life in Esperance, Scheer was eligible to be academy drafted by the Gold Coast Suns as he spent the required five years on the Gold Coast prior to being drafted.[5]
AFL career
Scheer made his debut in the twenty-five point win against Geelong at Metricon Stadium in round seven of the 2017 season.[6]
