Brendon Ah Chee (born 21 December 1993) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
An agile midfielder or forward, Ah Chee was recruited from South Fremantle Football Club in the 2012 AFL draft.[1] His ancestors were Australian Aboriginal, Chinese, Dutch, Scottish. His great-grandfather was Chinese.[2] He is the older brother of Gold Coast Suns player Callum Ah Chee.
In season 2015, Ah Chee began his fourth season at Port Adelaide without a senior game to his name and needing to make an impression just to retain his spot on the list at season’s end. Following some strong SANFL form, he was selected to make his AFL debut against North Melbourne in round 3. He started as substitute but had a late impact, setting up the winning goal with what eventually became his trademark long range handball. Ah Chee played a further 10 games and began to establish himself as an AFL player late in the season, collecting 24 disposals, 3 goals and 3 Brownlow Medal votes against Greater Western Sydney and then 25 disposals and a goal against Hawthorn. His combination of a strong body, athletic prowess and a lightning handball made Ah Chee a valuable contributor to the Power.
