Traded Will Brodie [Traded to Port Adelaide for Pick #103]

[branedotorg]

Pick 103 lol

still 32 picks more valuable than the 135 Carlton reluctantly gave up for Rhys Palmer

I didn't even realise Palmer played for Carlton.

What a fever dream.

 

[Cam Payne]

And very much looking forward to "and Fremantle select with pick 103 - Pass".

 

[Orange Agent]

Overs.

 

[cortez]

It's not like Fremantle need a salary dump, so you will need to offer up some value.

Like pick 103?

 

[WilloTree]

Don't know ....but I'm sure it wouldn't have been Port holding it up. All I can think is Freo want us to pay up because Carlton didn't.

We drove a hard bargain.

 

[joe444]

Help me out here. He's 27. And in his last full season averaged 27 touches and polled 11 Brownlow votes.

Unless he's undergone an amputation, to get him for essentially nothing is well worth it.

If you watched him in the WAFL you'd see why he cannot get a game. Needs to work on his tank massively to get to more contests - is constantly 20 metres behind the play. Maybe a new environment and a massive preseason can fix him but it ain't working at the moment

Yes,
But as just a clearance mid, he's good. Would only play 60-70% game time when he played AFL. He will never get a proper AFL level tank.

I'm surprised a young rebuilding team hasn't pulled the trigger earlier as we were shopping him around last year too. Will do well at Port and seem like a bargain but needs to be played to his strengths to succeed.

 

[manureid]

You would think they could have got the trade out of the way with later picks

... so the question is why the hold up?

Because we really wanted to hold on to pick 103?

value offered and offer taken.

 

[Taylor]

 

[Eski3]

Hell yeah. Port blinked

 

[longdonkey]

We drove a hard bargain.

LOL why did that take so long?

 

[longdonkey]

Pick 103 into Pick 55 after matching bids LOL

 

[A Bit Dusty]

I can see this Pick 103 somehow making it's way to the Hawks to close the deal on Merrett.

 

[Rich01]

Surprised West Coast weren’t after him.

Would have walked into their midfield.
Although with Robertson there now as well you probably couldn’t have both in there at the same time.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

value offered and offer taken.

Did well.

I thought would be something like a swap of 4th rounders... but got a bargain.

 

[SC_Power]

I thought the hold up was that we were trying to split Pick 103 into two eighth round picks so we’d only have to use one and keep the other.

Can’t believe we folded like an origami swan.

Seriously though, welcome Will Brodie

, hope you get to give it your best shot.

 

[SC_Power]

Looks like Port are just going to see what's left at the bottom of the drawer on the last day.

Hoping for something better than a dead spider and some mouse droppings.

Sorry to disappoint

 

[Taylor]

Expectations need to be kept at a sensible level for Brodie. Playing two full seasons in the WAFL didn't produce a single top ten result in the WAFL B&F (Sandover Medal), which is not something I'd want to see out of an AFL level player in the grade down - Erasmus in 2024 played 4 AFL games with others as emergency and finished one best on ground game away from the medal himself.

Matt De Boer similarly played four AFL games in 2016 and finished second that year.

To be fair, it was your 3rd pick in this draft.

Still think Freo should have held out for pick 85 though.

 

[joe444]

Hell yeah. Port blinked

Huge pressure on pick 103 to justify the trade.

I heard a rumour they're looking closely at P.Ass for that pick, although some say he'll be gone before then.

P. Ass? Kicks too many behinds for my liking.
