Bradley "Brad" Symes (born March 7, 1985) is an Australian rules footballer.
Brad Symes is a promising midfielder who was selected by the Port Adelaide at Pick 30 of the 2003 AFL Draft.
Symes had the misfortune of debuting in Port Adelaide's massive 92-point loss to the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004.
[edit] 2006 Season
Although his performances were steady for his SANFL club, Central District, he did not get another game for the Power until Round 4, 2006 against St. Kilda, which he impressed in greatly with his composure and skills. After having his appendix removed, he returned to the side a few weeks later to continue his excellent form in a season which Port Adelaide have acknowledged is one of rebuilding.
Symes' consistent performances in the Power team were rewarded with a nomination for the 2006 AFL Rising Star Award for his Round 9 match against Essendon.
Brad Symes kicked his first goal in AFL in Round 13, 2006 against Melbourne after winning a holding the ball decision on Jared Rivers and converting the resulting shot on goal.
