Todd Marshall


Todd Marshall is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League. He is a tall key-position player.

Early life

Marshall grew up in Deniliquin, New South Wales. As a teenager he was a talented cricket player, touring England with NSW youth teams. He made the decision to focus on football at a relatively late age, playing his first full TAC Cup season with the Murray Bushrangers in 2016. Marshall also represented NSW/ACT at the 2016 AFL Under 18 Championships. He fell into Greater Western Sydney Giants' recruitment zone in the Riverina and was briefly part of its academy, but in May 2016 the AFL ruled that Marshall had not spent enough time at the club and thus would have to go through the normal draft process rather than going straight to GWS as an academy player.

AFL career

Marshall was drafted by Port Adelaide with their first selection and sixteenth overall in the 2016 national draft. He made his debut in the seventeen-point win over the at Mars Stadium in round twenty-two of the 2017 season. Todd Marshall was good friends with Patrick Ryder and when the latter player was traded to St Kilda at the end of the 2019 AFL season the former changed his guernsey number from 13 to 4.

Personal life

Marshall lost both of his parents within twelve months at the age of 19.
