Brandon Zerk-Thatcher

Key defender Brandon Zerk-Thatcher landed at Alberton ahead of the 2024 season, adding a valuable piece to Port Adelaide’s defensive stocks. Strong in the air and in the contest, Zerk-Thatcher has worked in tandem with Aliir Aliir and Esava Ratugolea to shut down some of the competition’s most dangerous key forwards.
The native South Australian will aim to continue developing his defensive game in 2026, as he solidifies himself as a key piece in the back half.
