Following his season with the Falcons, at the age of 20, Brogan decided to give up basketball to focus on Australian rules football. His former 36ers teammates jokingly claimed that Brogan made the correct decision to concentrate on football with Martin Cattalini saying on the 1990s club DVD entitled "Title Town" that ""He made the absolute right decision to play football. As a basketball player he made a very good footballer but as a footballer he made a shit basketball player."".
