Forgot he was on our list! Any VFL watchers know how he was going prior to his shoulder injury?

havent seen much of Broad, but is he any much chop?
Will he play more than 10 games for the club?

What I have seen of him, hasn't impressed me at all, at VFL level or at NAB cup level. Size is in between, disposal/decision-making has been poor. He could get better but I doubt we'll see it at the RFC.
Oh no. What will we do without Broad.

Thought he was very solid in the second half, won some very important one on ones and his size and athleticism is very valuable.
Hes been servicable and ive been wrapt with him the last 2 weeks.
Concerned his disposal could hurt us when it really matters though.
He did it 2 or 3 times today, lucky gws were off their game and it didnt kill us.
Finals time though and turnovers end seasons and careers

2 shocking turnovers that could have hurt us but otherwise he was excellent defensively, is brave and gave Greene a bath which is something most defenders have failed at this year.
I like him and as stated. Allows grimes more of a license to come off his man.
Our back line is full of courage nowadays. Fickin love it.

Yep, keep him in. His disposal will only get better once he adjust to the pace and even then the biggest issues with his kicks today where he hit up both Soldo and Nankervis and both couldn't make the up for the slight miss kicks of Broad.
Yep pleasantly surprised that he has played well at the level , didn't realise he went to Greene , will stay in as I expect cellis to make way for Houli and he too is a bit stiff , wasn t too bad

Needs to stay in as he seems to know how to read the play well as a defender. I think a lot of blokes had clangers today with the slippery conditions. Clangers in wet conditions don't seem to hurt as much as they normally end up in fifty fifty contests. At one stage I counted at least four clangers combined by both teams in a single passage. It was hard yakka out there today.
Still shits himself with kicking tbh. Brave, but unfortunately only get you so far. We have had many on the list like him before
I wasn't a huge fan but experience and continuity make a huge difference with things like this. Only have to look at Rance, Astbury and Grimes to see how much it can help.

Like lambert when everyone was calling for his head not knowing that the injury he got early last year hampered his year.This kid came in after our saints debacle and played 2 good games. Hard at it strong and can take a grab. His kicking isn't as bad as some may think as TI pointed out yesterdays game was prone to some clangers due to the conditions.

Good on him for stepping up the AFL. Playing a solid contribution against quality opposition

Thought he hurt himself late
Wouldn't be surprised to see him out as a result

Love the effort he gives, makes a contest, good size, good 1on1, has some pace, ball use hasn't been the best the last 2 weeks (pissing down against gws, slippery and wet up at Dusty's new home ground Metricon #lolhird) but he went at 90% against brisbane so can't knock him too hard on it.
I must say it's awesome having a player like him come in to the squad in the absence of Houli, bring something to the team, and keep his spot. Loving the depth that Richmond has at the moment, and it's because of players like Broad who give what they can for the yellow and black.
Another note is the bloke has some fight in him, getting stuck into StevieJ and Greene in the plastics without giving anything away was great to see.

Kicking is a huge liability for me. Unfortunate though as his reading of the play and general defensive work is outstanding.
imo his kicking has been pretty good since he came into the team.
Didn't have any howlers last night
