Leigh Colbert (born 7 June 1975) is a former Australian rules footballer for the Geelong Football Club and the Kangaroos in the Australian Football League (AFL).

AFL career

1993–1999: Geelong

He made his debut with Geelong in 1993 and became a fearless player, usually playing off half-back, but then found his way as a key position player.

He was awarded Geelong's captaincy in 1999, but did not play a game that season due to injury. The falling out between the club and Colbert caused great controversy.[1] He was traded for Cameron Mooney and draft picks that yielded, amongst others, six-time All Australian and two-time Best and Fairest winner Corey Enright. Mooney retired a dual premiership player with the Cats and Enright retired as a three time premiership player.[2]

2000–2005: Kangaroos

In 2000 Colbert moved to the Kangaroos, mostly holding up full-back or centre half-back.

In 2004 Colbert was appointed the Kangaroos delegate for the AFL Players Association (AFLPA). In 2005, Colbert announced his retirement.

Post-football career

In 2006 he joined the West Coast Eagles as one of their back-room staff. It was on a part-time basis, based in Melbourne.

He was a boundary rider for Fox Sports including post-match interviews and one-on-one interviews for Fox Sports AFL of the Ablett brothers and a one-on-one interview with Adam Simpson on his 250th game for the Kangaroos.

In 2009 he was a flying instructor at Moorabbin Flight Services in Moorabbin, Vic., and also a pilot for an air freight service at Moorabbin airport.[3]
