Debuting in 1983 with North Adelaide , Jarman quickly established himself as an elite player with superb skills especially when disposing by handball. He capped a superb 1987 season with his first Magarey Medal and a Premiership Medallion as the Roosters soundly defeated Glenelg in the Grand Final, stalling the Tigers' bid for three consecutive Premierships.

AFL CAREER


Jarman was one of the first players selected on the Adelaide Football Club 's inaugural list for season 1991. Ironically, the Round 1 debut for both himself and the fledgling club pitted him against his brother Darren Jarman , also an AFL debutante, who had signed with Hawthorn .

After six successful seasons with the inaugural AFL list for season 1997 this did not eventuate.

Jarman was named in the centreman position of the Crows Team Of The Decade in 2000.


STATE REPRESENTATION


Jarman was an outstanding performer at Representative level, winning the Fos Williams Medal no less than five times. Twice against Victoria (1989, 1994), twice against Western Australia (1986, 1987) and once for best afield in the one-off City versus Country clash in 1990.


COACHING CAREER


Jarman was appointed coach of North Adelaide in 2004, taking the reigning wooden spooners to their first finals campaign in seven years. Under Jarman's tutelage the Roosters are yet to miss the finals, but the Premiership still eludes them.
