Toast Welcome Will Brodie

[arsesmart]

Where’s he at this year? Big trial 1 then no involvement against Port ….

The coaches seem keen to get him playing, but his form will need to be up to scratch obviously. Turnovers cost him dearly last year.

Depth.

Not a dream team candidate imo.

 

[DragoDelph]

Basically a Fyfe replacement you would think.

I have been playing footy since I was about 7, have had a few roles as a coach, and feel like I know a few things about the game.
I have never been able to understand why JOM gets picked over Brodie. In almost every metric apart from disposal, I think Brodie is the superior (and younger) footballer. I have watched Brodie closely at Peel and am actually impressed by some of his defensive stuff in tight too (the tackles and smothers).
I can only assume there are leadership qualities around the club from JOM that we don't see, because it well and truly has me stumped.

This checks out to me.

Yes it was a fantasy question but have watched him fairly closely in purple. Brodie is slow, but his work on the inside, in particular with his hands, to allow your other guys to spread is as good as anyone’s. JOM has just lost all mobility.

 

[Freomaniac]

This guy was so huge for us last year, he averaged:

27 disposals, 12 contested possessions, 5 clearences and 5 tackles.

We all know he has limitations with his tank and defensive efforts but watching Petracca tonight, we desperately need a big bodied mid. Brodie is 24 but has only played 50 games and hasn't reached his ceiling yet. We need to get him into the side asap and help him to improve his game. Guys like JOM should be the cherry on top and not form the core of our midfield.

Agreed.

I enjoyed his 2022 season. He got a lot of the ball. Helped us get into finals and won a final too.

 

[FreoGirl]

does he get another chance?

 

[Purple Jesus]

Mate, I’m rejecting reports on your posts at the moment. I’m not calling you a troll or have said anything of the sort. I’m not after that added disclaimer part either, just asking that if Brodie is not traded for a late pick as you said that will you say you were wrong? It seems you meant this trade period, just confirming you meant this trade period as well?

Has he admitted he was wrong yet?

is our fyfe replacement.
Just needs to keep interested and he will be back shortly

 

[Wray27]

Has he admitted he was wrong yet?

He’ll will freeze over first.

 

[pK75]

Hell?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Lol I was feeling real petty stickying that

Brodie on the plane

Any extra non KPP on the plane worries me that Clark might not get up.

Or Young goes back.

 

[GingerDocker]

Or Young goes back.

That would worry me too.

 

[apuchar]

That would worry me too.

Going to be an interesting team when it comes out. No talk of Voss, Tabs or Reidy.
Edit. Tabs on the plane. Makes more sense.

Will Brodie is our fyfe replacement.

unless he leaves...

 

[FreoGirl]

Brodie on the plane

well, that answered my question!

 

[Wray27]

Hell?

I was going for a combo play on words.

 

[pK75]

My buddy Brodie is the perfect sub for Fyfe, just not sure where that leaves JOM, is he the emergency or does he push Emmett out of the starting 22?

 

[FreoGirl]

I'm glad to see him back!

 

[freo_leo29]

Lol I was feeling real petty stickying that

To be fair, they were throwing out some crazy scenarios and presenting them as fact


Seems they were all made up, bizaare

 

[FreoGirl]

was surprised he didn't get a game today, but that just shows our depth

will someone come out for him next week?

He is the perfect replacement for Fyfe when we sub him out but we have to play JOM.
