I'm hearing a lot of people expecting Broady to be most at risk in our 22, but i think he'll only get better. If teams are going to smaller in the forward line, like Grimesy, Broady can play tall and small. AA 2018

Good solid role player, with a story to tell of the GF aftermath.
reckon he'll be hard to dislodge if he continues improving.

Had the pleasure of meeting him yesterday - a very switched on and mature guy, was really impressed with him. If he approaches his football in the same way (he's only played 12 games) he's a certainty to improve. He's taller than I thought, too.

Sounds as though he's killing it on the track. Gotta say I thought at the beginning of 2017 it'd be his last season but he was a real surprise packet. Another example of an above average athlete cementing a position in our team.

His form is certainly titillating

Definitely climbed some mountains to get where he is. Wont be giving it up easily. Can't wait to see him after 50 games.
Really liked what I saw in the WAFL, exceptionally fit, composed and dependable in a number of defensive roles. Stoked to see him find a spot in your side last year and even more so with him making a significant contribution through the finals. What really stood out for Richmond at the pointy end was their coherence as a team and collective desperation which were qualities in Broad that were really evident in contributing to at Swan Districts.
Not in any way condoning it, but being of the same age bracket the unfortunate incident played out in the media is not all that uncommon. He cops his deserved whack which hopefully reinforces the message that it's not ok to be sharing that kind of intimacy without consent. In my fairly short experience of having met him and through character references from friends who've played footy with him it's not reflective of his character so I think he will learn from his error and bounce back nicely in 2018.
FWIW he owned it out there in the aflx , was easily our best player , imposed himself on each contest and used the ball well , looks to be playing very confidently
He had some help, defs used a motorboat...

Reckon that drama with his medal has made him focus really well.
“Won” the pre-season at the club and looks like he is uber fit.
I really like him in the side.

Impressive athlete, disposal still a worry, needs to work on curves and peaks
Yep i was similar. I was wrong and think ill end up being very wrong about him.
His, Rance, Grimes and Kmacs ability to play tall and small is a very important part of our defence.
Fair to say a few boys will be walking taller this year, even last year the dogs were awful in the first half of the year but won games they looked like losing (like to us) purely because of self belief I reckon. Of course the behind the scenes s**t came to a head mid season
Before he was selected last year for his run of games i posted in a thread where if Jack Riewoldt went down what would happen and my thoughts at the time was that Broad wouldnt be a bad option to play the Riewoldt type role and i believe he could actually become a decent foward - Ohh well looks like that wont happen now with Dead Eye D' Townsend having his cameo
His kicking and decision making were poo in his early games but he was faultless in the GF. His competitive edge unnerved Lynch and he layed some crucial shepherds for Valustuin and Lambert when they were parked under a high ball.
Wont be underdone either, will play both JLT games and then be able to front up in two VFL praccy games which cover rounds 1 and 2, so in effect will only miss 1 match if brought straight back in round 4.
Agree, i thought his decision making and disposal were great in the finals.

I had doubts about his kicking and then I realised that its just his ungainly kicking action. He's still accurate and the ball gets there quick. He's got the kind of unorthodox action that's rarely seen nowadays, but was common as late as the end of the eighties.
