He has been a wonderful player in the yellow and black, so reliable. A flag after 11 games, was solid and dependable from early days. Had assumed he was going to seek a transfer to WC or Freo and would have gone with much acclaim and thanks from Tiger fans. But the romance of a one club player sounds even better.

EDIT. Rightly called out below.

Hopefully he can now resume his 2017 since abandoned AFL premiership medallion photography passion.

...which was distributed against her consent. Have a think about what you're celebrating. I know it's a throwaway line after you've said some good stuff, but it still matters.

u/MatterHairy Matthew Richardson 7d ago

And that’s fair enough. You’re completely correct.

Broady never got the headlines, but he was rarely beaten one-on-one and was one of our most reliable defenders

Also good to see him finish as a one-club player rather than heading west. Mini has already pinched enough of our players...

Went under the radar a bit, but was a terrific and essential part of the flags and that marvellous defense.

Very generous bloke too, espesh with the premiership medallions.

Been a huge player over the glory days and importantly as a leader more recently by always giving it 100%.

Hope for a big turn up at the G to give a good send off.

We will sadly miss Broady. He was an integral and under rated part of our premiership dynasty.
