Brogan scored his first point for Dublin against Fermanagh in the 2007 NFL.[10] He made his Championship debut for Dublin as a late sub in Dublin's quarter-final win over Meath.[11] He made his first start for Dublin in the semi-final against Offaly, but was substituted in the 45th minute. He regained his position for the final against Laois at Croke Park, scoring 1-01 in Dublin's 3-14 to 1-14 Leinster title winning game. [12] Along with brother Alan, he was nominated for an All Star Award in 2007 as half forward.

In 2008, Brogan won the Dublin AFL Division 1 title with his club St Oliver Plunketts Eoghan Ruadh, scoring 1-05 in the final at Parnell Park. It was the first league title in the club's history. With Dublin he won the 2008 O'Byrne Cup by beating Longford in the final.

Middle years: 2009 - 2011

In 2009, Brogan won another Leinster title with Dublin, but his season ended with defeat to Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter-final.

After an exceptional season for Dublin on the full forward line in 2010, Brogan was awarded an All Star and was named as 2010 Vodafone Footballer of the Year.

In 2011, Brogan won an All-Ireland title with Dublin, the team's first All-Ireland since 1995. Brogan scored six points in the final against Kerry. He later revealed his celebrations were cut short as he had to do a drug test straight after the game. He passed with flying colours and resumed his celebrations.

Later years: 2012 - 2015

In 2012, Brogan won another Leinster title when Dublin beat Kildare in the final. Then he missed an absolute sitter in the All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo. The miss haunted Brogan as Dublin lost the game by a narrow margin.

Brogan won the 2013 NFL with Dublin against Tyrone at Cork. He scored five frees in the game. He then won another Leinster title against Meath and was part of the Dublin team that won the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, defeating Mayo by 2-12 to 1-14. Brogan scored 2-03 in the match, was All-Ireland final man of the match and The Sunday Game named him their man of the match and included him on their team of the year. Brogan was then awarded an All Star for his performances in 2013.

Brogan won the 2014 NFL with Dublin but his season came to an abrupt end when Donegal defeated Dublin in that year's All-Ireland semi-final, a momentous result that sent shockwaves through the sport.

In August 2015, Brogan was awarded a dubious point against Mayo in their All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park. That game ended in a draw. Following a third All-Ireland Senior Football title in September 2015, Brogan was appointed captain of the Ireland international rules football team for the 2015 Series against Australia.
