Andrew Bishop started playing with Ainslie as a junior in the 1980s alongside his brother Greg. He began his senior career in 1984 and forged a decorated career massing 206 First Grade games and 15 Representative games for the ACT. Andrew played in ten Grand Finals and was part of eight Premiership teams (an AFL Canberra record), his first of which was in 1987 when he won the Best & Fairest and where he began to establish a name for himself amongst national recruiters. He was then drafted to play for the then Brisbane Bears and then drafted to the Sydney Swans the following year.
Returning to Canberra Andrew kicked back into gear with Ainslie, and in 1990 participated in his 2nd premiership. Following on from that he would then be a part of six consecutive premiership teams from 1992 -1997, including a Premiership with his brother Greg in 1992.
Andrew would retire in 1997 and after his time as a player, Andrew coached the Senior Team and would continue to be involved in the game coaching and recruiting for various Ainslie teams over the years. A capstone to his football career was his induction into the AFL Canberra Hall of Fame in 2018 recognising his contributions to Ainslie Football over many years.
Andrew is currently working as the NRL Wellbeing Manager and Kicking Coach at the Canberra Raiders, showcasing a vast array of knowledge and experience.
