Darryl Borlase (born 8 November 1958)[2] is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Port Adelaide Football Club.

Football

Borlase was recruited by Port Adelaide from the Ceduna Football Club. He debuted for Port Adelaide in 1985 in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and played three games in his first season. He became a regular, first choice senior player the following year. He struggled with injury and form during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He watched from the sidelines as the Magpies procured a hat trick of premierships between 1988 and 1990. He returned in 1991 and was the club's leading goalkicker with 25 goals. In 1992, he was a key contributor to the Magpies' premiership. He was also key in their further premiership triumphs in 1994 and 1996, but missed the club's 1995 premiership after suffering a knee injury during the finals series. Borlase skippered the Magpies in his final league season in 1998, where the team won another SANFL premiership.[3]
