Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Will Brodie - Traded in for pick #103

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Expect he’ll likely be in round 1 with Wines out suspended so see how he goes early.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He looks 50% quicker in the AFL highlights package than he did in his WAFL highlights.

Fair to say he was just killing time in the WAFL knowing he was not going to be picked for the big show.

 

[Gryllis]

Pick 103 for Brodie sounds right.

Even a future fourth sounds like overs for such an unwanted player who's basically not been selected for 2 years. Him off the list is a win for Freo.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Could've gotten him for pick 121 if we'd dug our heels in. Sack Cripps.

Depends who you talk to. Freo’s handling of players has lead to a number of departures and near departures from staff and players.

Would expect a few rumours on Freo’s coaches to surface once Brodie has fully settled back in to SA.

[Macca19]

Decent!

 

[agmsy]

So exactly why did this deal take a week into the trade period to organise?

Had to wait for the Durdin trade to unlock pick 103!

More realistically: we've both been more focused on other deals (Freo has been moving players, we've been moving picks). There was no real danger of a deal not getting done and thus no urgency.

Was Brodies 'one good year' with Carr as mids coach?

 

[PJ Power]

Was Brodies 'one good year' with Carr as mids coach?

Pretty sure it was. 2022 - Brodie's first year at Freo. Huge drop-off after that.

 

[240volt]

Pretty sure it was. 2022 - Brodie's first year at Freo. Huge drop-off after that.

Well he hasn’t played a game for Freo in two years.
From memory he played about 5 in 2023 so that only leaves 2022

 

[tribey]

Excellent value

 

[Doctor Feel]

At the very worst, we strengthen the Magpies for cheap.

 

[soafraid]

Ya joking, can't believe he didn't go higher

 

[Steve Dore]

Bill Roadie

That's Bill on the right.



Roadie ---> Roller

 

[Steve Dore]

... seems quicker than Wines. .....

I'm probably quicker than Wines and I'm more than twice his age.

 

[theouthouse]

We see the Crows Riley and Rory's and raise them a Brodie and Corey's.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

You just know if he was at Geelong we would have ended up parting with pick 30 or something. Anyway, good get, let's see what he can do.

 

[VineValerian]

Cant believe we got him so cheaply!

Literally this time.

Think we overpaid horrendously for Wee Willie Brodie

Sack Krippa, Parker, et al

 

[Grave Danger]

Freo have done very well out of their past dealings with the SUNS, but we're a much tougher nut to crack!

 

[Alberton Proud]

This becomes the 3rd lowest pick ever traded for a player (with no other picks or clubs involved).

1. Rhys Palmer traded to Carlton for 135
2. Marley Williams traded to North for 105
3. Will Brodie traded to Port Adelaide for 103
4. Ben Davies traded to North for 96
5. Matthew Lobe traded to Carlton for 95. Lachie Plowman traded to Carlton for 95
6. Jack Fitzpatrick traded to Hawthorn for 94
7. Anthony Corrie traded to Collingwood for 93
8. Aaron Black to Geelong for 92
9. Sam Gibson traded to Adelaide for 91
10. Steven King & Charlie Gardener traded to St Kilda for 90

103? Scandalous. Somehow this is Kennie's fault

You hate every single player we've brought in don't ya?
