He played three SANFL games for the Double Blues in a year where he also earned best on ground honours in Prince Alfred College’s 2020 All Schools Cup grand final victory. Borlase’s father Darryl played 246 games for the Port Magpies in the SANFL, winning four premierships including one as captain in 1998. His mother Jenny also has elite sporting genes, having represented Australia 70 times in international netball. Borlase made his AFL debut in Round 21, 2023 against Gold Coast and went on to play three more games. He featured in 10 games in 2024 and was rewarded for his consistent performance with a new, two-year deal, which he signed in September 2024.
