Ty Gallop Biography

Ty Gallop and Sam Marshall will run out on Grand Final day together as Brisbane teammates, but it won't be a first for them.

The teenage tyros were virtual neighbours on Queensland's Sunshine Coast when they teamed up to guide the Kawana Park Eagles to an under-12 premiership in 2018.

"For us to play our junior footy together and now be doing this here is not something I take for granted," Gallop said.

Ty Gallop has shown he is made of the right stuff, but Brisbane Academy coach Mitch Hahn says it could have easily been a different story.

"He wasn't loving the game," Hahn said.

"He came to the Academy and said he needed to get back to enjoying footy, so he went back to Maroochydore and played Colts.

"He has a close connection with a lot of his mates there and they went on and won the Grand Final.

"He came back in his 18th year (2024) and committed 100 per cent. He fell back in love with the game and was ready. He was a different animal that flicked the switch."

Ty Gallop makes his AFL debut for Brisbane at Adelaide Oval with 6 disposals (2 kicks and 4 handballs), 2 marks, 4 tackles and 2 hitouts in a 5-point loss to Adelaide.

Brisbane select Ty Gallop with pick No.42 in the 2024 National Draft.
