Football career

Fremantle

He was recruited by Fremantle Football Club in the 2011 National Draft, with pick #71 from Woodville-West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). He was the third last player chosen in the draft and the last teenager selected. [1]

Sutcliffe made his AFL debut in Round 15, 2012, against Western Bulldogs at Subiaco Oval. [2] The previous week he had performed very well for East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), gathering 34 possessions and kicking two goals. [3]

He played in Fremantle's first Grand Final in 2013, which saw them go down to Hawthorn by 15 points.

Port Adelaide

After being delisted by Fremantle, Sutcliffe joined Port Adelaide's reserves team (nicknamed the Magpies) in the SANFL as their captain for the 2019 season. He was elevated onto Port Adelaide's senior AFL list in the 2019 AFL Mid-season rookie draft, taken at pick #9. He made his AFL debut for the club in Round 17 of the 2019 season against the Brisbane Lions at Adelaide Oval, tasked with the job of tagging his former Fremantle teammate and good friend Lachie Neale in Port's 48 point loss. [4] Sutcliffe was delisted from the senior list at the conclusion of the 2020 AFL season after playing nine AFL games. [5] He was returned to the captaincy of the Port Adelaide Magpies in 2021, as the club rejoined the competition following a COVID-19 imposed suspension in 2020, [6] and will remain in the position until at least the end of the 2023 season. [7] He was selected to represent South Australia against Western Australia in their interstate match in 2021. [8]
