Chris McDermott

In July 2014 McDermott became a football and sports commentator for Adelaide talkback radio station FIVEaa and hosted the station's weekday drive-time sports show with another former Adelaide Crows player, Stephen Rowe. In November 2014 McDermott was replaced on FIVEaa by former Adelaide Crows dual premiership captain, Mark Bickley.

He was an inaugural inductee into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

McDermott served as playing coach for North Adelaide in 1997 and non-playing coach from 1998 through 2000.

It was not until 1990 when talks of Port Adelaide becoming the South Australian team in the national competition that McDermott looked to Victoria for another club. However, when it became clear that the Adelaide Crows were going to be South Australia's entry into the AFL, he remained in his home state as the club's inaugural captain.

Chris McDermott was the inaugural captain of the AFL club Adelaide Crows. He was initially signed by the VFL team Fitzroy in 1981, but stayed in the SANFL with Glenelg Football Club after the South Australian player retention scheme was developed to pay top players to remain in South Australia. He was also chased by Carlton, and eventually drafted by Brisbane in 1986, but still never made his VFL debut. He played 227 games for his SANFL club Glenelg.

Chris McDermott (born 4 November 1963) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the Glenelg Football Club and North Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
