Career

Guard was one of six Claremont players selected in the first seven picks of the 1991 AFL Draft. He didn't miss a game in any of his first two seasons, playing all 42 home and away fixtures. In just his ninth appearance, against Collingwood at Princes Park, he kicked three goals and in the dying seconds delivered the ball into the forward 50 to allow Paul Roos to snap the winning goal.

He returned to Claremont in 1996 and captained them to the West Australian Football League premiership that year, with a two-point win over East Perth in the Grand Final.

He currently coaches at the Heidelberg Junior Football Club.

gollark: Perhaps they have developed a way to transmute toilet paper into food.
gollark: Disguise yourself as an old person.
gollark: The somewhat-evil-economist solution to the toilet paper issue would just be to raise the prices.
gollark: Which is kind of funny.
