Desmond John Headland, Jr (born 21 January 1981) is a retired Australian rules footballer, Following on from his AFL career he continued on finishing his playing career for Subiaco in the West Australian Football League.

He was also a former conservative political candidate.

In 1997 Headland represented Western Australia (WA) at the under 16 national championships and won the best and fairest medal and was selected in the All-Australian team.

1998

Headland was selected with the first overall draft pick in the 1998 AFL draft by the Brisbane Lions.

His school football was for Lockridge Senior High School where he played alongside future Australian Football League players Garth Taylor, Brett Johnson and Dwayne Simpson.

In 1998, he represented WA in the AFL Under-18 Championships, made his league debut for Subiaco Football Club and won both the West Australian Football League (WAFL) rising star and the Subiaco best and fairest award.

He also toured Ireland with the AFL/AIS Academy side.

At the end of this outstanding season, Headland was selected by Brisbane Lions with the first selection in the 1998 AFL draft.

A complex trade including Blake Caracella, Adam McPhee and the exchanging of numerous draft picks saw Headland return to WA and join the team whose T-shirt he had worn during interviews at the 1998 draft camp (as shown in the documentary The Draft).

1999

Headland only played 3 games for Brisbane in 1999, making his debut in round 13 against Sydney, in which he scored 2 goals.

2000

In 2000, he was featured along with Adam Ramanauskas and Brendan Fevola in an Australian Broadcasting Corporation television documentary called The Draft, which followed the three players in the months before they were all drafted to the AFL.

He wore guernsey number 19 in these first two seasons.

2001

In 2001, Headland was given the number 1 guernsey when Richard Champion retired.

After playing the first Game of the season, Headland was dropped for the next two games, before being recalled and playing the remaining 19 regular season games.

Poor form in the last few rounds saw him dropped for the finals series, and he missed the Brisbane Lions first premiership.

This culminated in Brisbane's second premiership and, unlike 2001, Headland claimed a premiership medal.

2002

This enhanced speculation about his return to Perth, but following an outstanding display in the Lions reserves' premiership in the Queensland Australian Football League, he was retained for the 2002 season by Brisbane.

2002 started slowly for Headland, with his first Game not until round 6, but the four goals he scored were an indication of what was to come.

He would play all remaining games that year, and in a 15-Game purple patch from round 11 to the end of the year he would kick 30 goals, average 21 possessions and poll 16 Brownlow Medal votes, including three best-on-grounds and votes in six consecutive games.

At the end of 2002, Fremantle entered the trade week with only one objective, to obtain Des Headland.

2003

In the lead up to the 2003 AFL season Headland was chosen in an ATSIC Chairman's All-Star team that played Carlton at Marrara Oval, Darwin.

The All-Star team defeated Carlton by 73 points, with Headland adjudged by The Age as best on ground.

2003 saw Headland poll Brownlow Medal votes in four games, including two best on ground performances.

However, he failed to register a top-ten finish in the club best and fairest award.

In Round 4, 2003, Headland was one of 7 indigenous players to represent Fremantle, the most ever to play in a single AFL team.

The other indigenous players for Fremantle that day were Troy Cook, Jeff Farmer, Antoni Grover, Roger Hayden, Steven Koops and Dion Woods.

In Round 8, 2003 in a match between St Kilda and Fremantle, Headland was one of four players who had been number one AFL draft selections and one of twenty-first round selections.

2004

The expectations of the Fremantle fans were high, especially when McPhee, who was traded by Fremantle to obtain Headland, won All-Australian selection and the Bomber's best and fairest award, the Crichton Medal in 2004.

Leg injuries including an ankle injury during the Wizard Cup in 2004 and a calf strain in 2005 have limited his effectiveness, and he has not been able to recapture the form that he showed at Brisbane in 2002 for any sustained period of time.
