Amon Buchanan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amon Buchanan (born 10 October 1982) is an Australian rules football player from the Sydney Swans of the AFL.
Buchanan grew up in the Victorian town of Colac, west of Melbourne. He played football for Colac and the Geelong Falcons Under 18s team, winning a premiership with the Falcons in 2000 and subsequently being selected by Sydney in the post-season National Draft. He made his senior debut in round 11 of the 2002 season against West Coast. By the end of 2002, he had played six matches, but had a disappointing season the next year, suffering knee and ankle injuries, not playing a single senior game and being delisted. However, he was redrafted by the Swans, and had established himself as a regular member of the team by the second half of 2004. During Sydney's 2005 premiership-winning season, Buchanan played in every match, making useful contributions in the midfield and kicking the final goal of the Grand Final against West Coast.
Buchanan's sporting blood runs in the family, with his brother, Liam Buchanan, a state cricketer for the Victorian Bushrangers. He made his debut in the 2005/06 season.
