Brett "The Birdman" Evans (born 26 May 1972) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Australian Football League (AFL).[1]
Evans, a forward, played for Narre Warren and Springvale, before being picked up by Melbourne in the 1993 Mid-Season Draft. He was a member of Melbourne's 1993 reserves premiership team but didn't play a senior league game and ended up returning to Springvale.[2]
