Someone from gc came in and mentioned this. But also added that during the 5 weeks of that time, that he play consecutively, he was #1 for clearances in the AFL.Also was 7th in clearances per game in 2018 with only 8 games played.

Really rated Brodie in his draft year, think he will surprise many next year if given the opportunity. Well worth the trade, free hit that could be another Jack Steele..
But you gotta remember those GC supporters are Rugby League fans & all those campaigners do is tackle.Of the couple of GC posters that have come on here, they said he doesn't tackle
So don't get too excited about it yet
He was linked to going home to Vic for years tbhThis was a curious-weird observation :
"Given the number of interstate teams drafting in the first round the fact that amongst the top group he is considered the biggest flight risk and has the most personality faults has traction and is a very valid consideration."
He "belongs" here!He was linked to going home to Vic for years tbh
Nearly went it essnedon last year but now Parish stood up they don't need the inside mid
If he had a taker in Vic I reckon he would have gone there but list spots are low atm and luckily a mid spot just opened here
The big proviso is that currently he has no confidence taking the kicks for goal and looks for every opportunity to pass the shot off. When he takes the shot I do not see a lot wrong with his technique and really I think it is all between the ears with him.
Think he is actually working for a club now???
whatever happened to quigley he was great
Longmuir said he saw Brodie as an inside player that could add a lot to Fremantle’s midfield mix next season.
“We’re really bullish on him, we’ll give him an opportunity primarily as an inside mid,” Longmuir said.
“There’s going to need to be a secondary role there just to get his game time up, as is the case with all of our mids.
“Whether that is on the wing or we try and bring some of his aerial strengths to the forward line, we will work on that when he hits the program fully.
“He has all the qualities there to be a good inside mid for us, he is really good in traffic with his hands and with his ability to drive from inside to out.
“We’re really going to focus on his strengths…we feel like there is a spot there if he has a good pre-season.”
To be honest, on reflection, I dont remember clearly taking out of a stoppage and streaming forward, it was more after some general play or from turnover we just ran up the ground like we were playing against witches hatsFreo’s trade bargain becomes their clearance king
The immediate impact of Fremantle recruit Will Brodie has been underlined by the release of statistics from Friday night’s practice match, showing the former Gold Coast midfielder had a game-high nine clearances in his first outing for the Dockers.
I was surprised to see we only won the total clearances 37-33. We seemed a lot more dominant by eye.
clean clearance is very different to hack kick out of a clearance.Freo’s trade bargain becomes their clearance king

It's an odd measurement huh?clean clearance is very different to hack kick out of a clearance.
The outcome from the clearance is more important.It's an odd measurement huh?
You can get a clearance, but give it straight to the oppo.
Or get a clearance, and give to a player under pressure who gets tackled and go again.
The outcome from the clearance is more important.
In saying that the structure of forwards/backs can change the outcome.
AFL is a difficult stat wise as it has a lot of context.
Intercept marks is the stat that I look at, which is very similar to turn overs.Good point. AFL stats are a weird thing. They have trouble keeping up with the game's evolution - witness marks, which used to be a sign of dominance but are now immaterial unless they are contested in the forward line. Until winning clearances correlates with winning football games I will treat them with caution. Meanwhile, I will keep an eye on turnovers!
Thing about that though, in a poor team you can have a lot of intercept marks.Intercept marks is the stat that I look at, which is very similar to turn overs.
Intercept marks allow teams to control the ball and set up defensively.
Interesting that Richmond and Hawthorn both lost the clearances but they both intercepted a lot.
Richmond run hard and broke the lines from the intercept marking.
Hawthorn intercepted used the short kicking game to control the game.
