Early life


Originally from Mildura in Victoria,[3] he participated in the Auskick program at Wentworth District in New South Wales.[4]

Brander was part of the GWS Giants Academy as a teenager. He was ruled ineligible to join the Giants as an academy selection because the academy's zones were scaled back. Brander stated he was content with the decision. He played cricket for Geelong Grammar and football for the Bendigo Pioneers.[5]


AFL Career


Brander was drafted by West Coast with pick 13 in the 2017 national draft and wears number 10.[1] He played in a practice match against Fremantle at Lathlain Park, earning praise from The West Australian's chief football writer Mark Duffield.[6] Brander was touted as a successor to key forward Josh Kennedy.[3]

Brander was delisted by the Eagles in following the 2021 AFL season, but was subsequently signed by Greater Western Sydney as a delisted free agent.[7]

After only one season at the Giants, Brander was delisted on September 23rd.[8]
