Toast Farewell Matty Broadbent

[Marmozet]

Warrants its own thread as he played 171 games for us and served the club for 10 years.

Wish him all the best for his future!

 

[PatientMental]

Deserved his own separate formal announcement by the club.

Busted his arse to survive and at the end his body won out.

 

[snozulu]

Broady loved the club. All the best Broady going forward, take care of yourself mate.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Was once a buddy as I thought gut he'd reach a new level a few years ago, sadly didn't happen. Best of luck cobra

 

[Portmanteau]

In football terms it’s the right call, quite sad that he didn’t get to go out on a higher note. Has been a fine servant.

 

[The Rubber Man]

Im shocked! I had the opinion late last year that we should probably part ways with him, but his form in the 2nd half of this year changed my mind

his decision making and ability to hit a target out of the backline was by far the best we had.

Sad for him, was always one of my favs.

Would have thought at the very least, we kept him as backup and a mature head to teach the kids in SANFL

 

[Pear1870]

Cobra was one of my favorite players. Excellent service to the club.
Great team man and individual.
Number 5 will always be on the wall in the man cave.
All the best Matty.


Thanks for starting a thread for him, Marmoset.

Yeah I thought it was weird that he was lumped in with Johnson like that.

He was a pretty good player at his peak. Not quite Top 30 in the AFL as claimed by Sheehan (?) that one time but very reliable. I hope he’s conquered whatever ailed him during the year. All the best Brogsy.

 

[Jonts]

Cheers Matty, loved your long kick back in back at AAMI days

Enjoy a dart for me

 

[Macca19]

Was a legit gun at his best. Always loved him. One of my favourites of all time.

A former player sponsor of ours as well here.

All the best Cobra. We’ll all miss you

 

[Schulzenfest]

Tough but correct decision. Broady has been a great servant but it's time to look to the future and give kids like Garner a chance to cement themselves.

 

[Marmozet]

His 2012 season was something special.

 

[NEGAN]

Well done Matty

Got the best out of yourself.

This shows you had the club's best interest always

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Last two goals in this win against North were assists from the Cobra.

To Schulz and to Stewart

Match winner

 

[MrMeaner]

It is definitely the right call but it is sad to see Broadbent go.

 

[Power Raid]

thanks Broadbent!

 

[VineValerian]

Well done, Matt.
Club man first and foremost.
Sad to see it end, but the decision was the right one.
Best of going forward, and hope you have conquered the demons once and for all.
Maybe Maggies skipper as a role for him?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Maybe Maggies skipper as a role for him?

Works for me. I'd much rather have Broady than Sutcliffe.

 

[It Just Is]

One of my favourites. Played his whole career without injury until the one that got him. Not sure our medical team did him any favours there either but that’s a story for another day. All the best Broady.

 

[gbear]

In football terms it’s the right call, quite sad that he didn’t get to go out on a higher note. Has been a fine servant.

It would have been nice for him to have a farewell game.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Will really miss you Broady. All the best in the future.

 

[Kingfish73]

Should be proud of his career. Congrats. I am not a smoker but lets all have a celebratory dart for him....

Stewart. Broadbent. Schulz. Pearce. Pfiefer.

That was such a team effort, that win.

We may be a bit of shitshow now but God I love this club ❤

We were a shitshow then iirc

 

[Jojay]

What an absolute ripping fella and a Port man through and through. Would be great if he could stay connected with the club.

All the best, Cobra!
