Harry Perryman
Australian rules footballer
Harrison Maxwell Perryman (born 19 December 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Perryman was initially drafted to Greater Western Sydney and played 129 games for the Giants before moving to Collingwood as a free agent during the 2024 AFL Trade Period.
Early life
Perryman was raised in the small Riverina town of Collingullie in country New South Wales and was educated at Riverina Anglican College in Wagga Wagga. He participated in the Auskick program at Collingullie-Glenfield Park Demons and began playing junior football for the club in the Riverina Football Netball League. A standout in his age group, he was placed in Greater Western Sydney's academy program as a teenager and was later drafted by the Giants with their third selection and fourteenth overall in the 2016 national draft.
Perryman is one of two Giants players from the small town of Collingullie, New South Wales, along with Matthew Kennedy, who has also since left the club. The two played together for most of their junior careers.
AFL career
Perryman made his AFL debut during the three point win against Richmond at Spotless Stadium in round nine of the 2017 season. In the match, his outstretched smother proved pivotal as what appeared to be a match-winning goal for Richmond was overturned on review. A minute later, Jeremy Cameron would kick the match-winning goal for the Giants.

Why this record matters
The phrase “australian rules footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30125397. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998, 2024, 2016 and 2017.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
