Overall

Brodie is a brilliant contested ball winner and simply loves getting his hands dirty. At 189cm and 82kg, he is a big bodied, tough onballer, who should be ready to slot right into most AFL midfields in the competition.

He is clean in the contest and loves to run and carry and burst through packs and has impressive pace. However, for his size, he could improve his contested marking ability.

Brodie reads the play well, particularly off the ruck tap and gets plenty of clearances.
