Early life
editFogarty grew up at Lucindale in the southeast of South Australia, though he was born in Portland, Victoria. He was drafted by Adelaide with its first selection and twelfth overall in the 2017 national draft.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). He struggled to break into the AFL side throughout his first few years at the club. Fogarty gained a reputation in the SANFL for being a rough player, receiving multiple reports during his time in the reserves side, including rough conduct involving Jack Hayes[2] and Mitch Grigg.[3] Fogarty struck good form towards the end of 2019, kicking nine goals in the last four games of the season. This return included a break-out game at Optus Stadium against West Coast, when Fogarty kicked 5 of his team's 12 goals.[4] Fogarty, just like the Crows and the rest of the forward line, struggled throughout the 2020 season. Playing 10 of a possible 17 games due to COVID-19, Fogarty kicked 8 goals for the year.[5] Fogarty only improved from his 2020 campaign, kicking 24 and 33 goals in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. A career-high disposal count of 20 in round 15, 2022 against North Melbourne included 4 goals.[6] Fogarty equalled his career-high 5 goals in 2023 during the inaugural Gather Round against Carlton.[7] The next week, Fogarty kicked the last goal of the game against Hawthorn to lead by three points following an Izak Rankine dribbler.[8] The goal, kicked from one of the tightest set-shot angles on the field, gave Adelaide a fourth win in a row for the first time since 2019.
