An elite midfielder-cum-forward, Jarman amassed a total of 386 games of senior football at SANFL, AFL and Representative level. Jarman's elder brother [[Andrew Jarman|Andrew]] was also an elite footballer. ==SANFL career (1985-1990)== Jarman played 144 games and kicked 236 goals for [[North Adelaide Football Club|North Adelaide]] in the SANFL between 1985 and 1990. He was selected on the interchange in the club's Team of the Century at a gala dinner held on 7 October 2000.<ref>[http://www.nafc.com.au/history/century.aspx 'NAFC Team of the Century'], Official Website of the North Adelaide Football Club.</ref> ==Hawthorn (1991-1995)== Jarman was initially drafted by [[Melbourne Demons|Melbourne]] with pick 55 in the inaugural [[1986 VFL Draft]].<ref>M. Lovett (ed.), <i>AFL Record Guide To Season 2007</i>, AFL Publishing, Melbourne, 2006, p. 406. ISBN 978-0-9758362-7-9</ref>, but chose to remain in Adelaide with the Roosters. Once the Demons' three-year rights to Jarman lapsed, [[Brisbane Bears|Brisbane]] claimed him with a concessional pre-draft selection in the [[1989 VFL Draft]].<ref>M. Lovett (ed.), <i>AFL Record Guide To Season 2007</i>, p. 411.</ref>. Once again Jarman chose to stay in his home state. In 1990 the turmoil that led to the creation of the [[Adelaide Crows]] and thereby automatically relegated the SANFL to secondary importance within South Australia caused Jarman to reassess his career. Following some friction with the Crows' football manager [[Neil Kerley]], Jarman chose to head east, signing for [[Hawthorn Hawks|Hawthorn]] after the club traded pick 10 in the [[1990 AFL Draft]] to the Bears for his contractual rights.<ref>M. Lovett (ed.), <i>AFL Record Guide To Season 2007</i>, p. 372.</ref> In Round 1, 1991 Jarman made his debut in an 86-point loss Adelaide.<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1991/011019910322.html 'Adelaide vs. Hawthorn, Round 1, 1991'], AFL Tables.</ref> Despite this early setback, the highly-skilled midfielder made an immediate impact in his debut year, averaging 18 disposals and booting 41 goals<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/1991.html#10 '1991 Hawthorn player statistics'], AFL Tables.</ref> before his infamous performance in the Hawks' winning side on Grand Final day, when he was restricted to just 5 anonymous touches on the big stage.<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1991/101819910928.html 'Hawthorn vs. West Coast, 1991 Grand Final'], AFL Tables.</ref> Jarman bounced back in 1992, winning his first All-Australian selection (at centreman) and stamping himself as one of the game's elite players. Following his excellent 1995 season where he won his second All-Australian selection, Hawthorn's Best and Fairest Award and finished runner-up to [[Sydney Swans|Sydney]]'s [[Paul_Kelly_%28footballer%29|Paul Kelly]] by 3 votes in the [[Brownlow Medal]] count<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/brownlow/brownlow1995.html '1995 Brownlow Medal'], AFL Tables.</ref>, Jarman sought a return home to Adelaide to play with his brother Andrew at the Crows. ==Homecoming (1996-2001)== In the 1995/6 offseason, Jarman was traded to the Adelaide Crows in a complex three-way deal that involved [[Paul Salmon]] moving from [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]] to Hawthorn, promising defender [[Sean Wellman]] moving from Adelaide to Essendon and a handful of peripheral draft picks and players exchanged between the three clubs.<ref>M. Lovett (ed.), <i>AFL Record Guide To Season 2007</i>, pp. 344, 361, 373.</ref> As with his move to Glenferrie Oval five years earlier, Jarman had an immediate impact at his new club, winning his third All-Australian selection following a 400 disposal/46 goal season despite playing just 19 games<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/1996.html#1 '1996 Adelaide player statistics'], AFL Tables.</ref>. In the following years as he passed the age of 30, Jarman increasingly spent more time up forward, banishing the demons of his poor performance in the 1991 decider with stellar performances in the Crows' back-to-back Grand Final wins, booting six goals against [[St. Kilda Saints|St. Kilda]] in 1997 (five of which were in the last quarter)<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1997/011519970927.html 'St. Kilda vs. Adelaide, 1997 Grand Final'], AFL Tables.</ref> and five goals in the 1998 triumph over [[North Melbourne Kangaroos|North Melbourne]]<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1998/011219980926.html 'North Melbourne vs. Adelaide, 1998 Grand Final'], AFL Tables.</ref>. Jarman's influence as a goalsneak in the twilight of his career was highlighted by his capture of the Crows' leading goalkicker award in 1998, 1999 and 2001.<ref><i>AFC 2005: The Adelaide Football Club 2005 Year Book</i>, p. 58.</ref> In 2000 Jarman was named in the forward pocket in [[Adelaide_Football_Club#.22Team_of_the_Decade.22|Adelaide's Team of the Decade 1991-2000]]. ==Retirement and Recognition== An emotional Jarman retired after the 2001 Elimination Final loss to [[Carlton Blues|Carlton]], closing the book on his playing career with a further 2 goals.<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2001/010320010908.html 'Carlton vs. Adelaide, 2001 Elimination Final'], AFL Tables.</ref> After being inducted into the SANFL Hall of Fame in 2006<ref>[http://www.sanfl.com.au/season_07/awards/hall_of_fame/ 'Hall of Fame'], SANFL Website.</ref>, on 19 July 2007 Jarman's outstanding 17-season career of top-flight football was recognised with induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.<ref>B.
