#6 Brodie Holland

[Snoop Dog]

I think he might stay. When you look at who goes you would have to think that;

Wakes or Presti will go. Cannot see both being kept and need to press ahead with Brown and Anthony in KD posts.
Iles - No doubt he will go. He is close to a game but cannot push into the best 22 when 8 are out. Shame.
Johnson - have no doubt he will be traded and I can see them keeping Dutchy irrespective if he goes.
Egan - Would like to see him kept and Dids being traded would be key to his chances.
Didak - think he will go.
R.Shaw - all the mail is the Pies will move him on. I am against it as I think its the only stuff up rhyce has made and it would be double standards to trade him and keep Heath.
Lonie - The stamp was licked Thursday night. If he cannot get a game when we are playing 13 blokes under 21 he is in strife.
Cox - Bit surprised he hasnt been selected as he suits the modern game but he clearly aint highly thought of.

So i think thats 8 (suspect I am missing someone - oh yes Toovey but I think MM loves him). Couldnt see them trading any more than that and it also assumes Burns plays on. Either way the above is plausible and it suggests Brodie stays. We have a young side and will need some stronger bodies around the contests. The only downside for Brodie would be if we got Cousins.

Bad luck Brodie. You always laid a few combinations whenever we played the scum. We'll miss you mate.

Does anyone else feel that the Brodie Holland story ended really quickly? It seemed like he was such a required player, and then so suddenly he wasn't.

I was very eager for him to come back this year, but sadly it never happened.

Good luck Brodes, so many good memories.

I have mixed feelings about Dutchie. He was a good tagger but I am concerned that his off field exploits have not set a good example at the club. I will not be sorry to see him go but wish him well.

Good player on his day but others have streaked past him.

i hope we give him another chance, maybe a one year contract.

with so many young midfielders with positional flexibility, i think it would be a good idea keeping a midfielder his experience, even if he cant crack into the side if the youngsters step up, he would be a great back up.

also i like his attitude - from where i sit, he looks like he'd be a good role model to the younger kids.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

Thought he was gone before the injury. I won't be writing any obituaries yet, but it doesn't look good. I wish him well

[Usurper]

It's interesting in the VFL wrap they mentioned that Tom Sunberg will need to be promoted within a week. And Brodie's now on long-term-injury. How convenient...................

I must be reading this board too much, I'm becoming a conspiracy theorist.

Bad luck Brodie , thanks for your niggle and bags of goals you were great at sucking in many dumb onballers ' hello nick ' sunsilk' stevens

[Mr. Chairman]

The sense of glee in the title is disrespectful of a 150ish gamer.

[Pommie_Magpie]

Knowing Freo's prowess at the trade table, we'll probably trade Dutchy to Freo for Rhyce Palmer and Pavlich

Was gone well before the latest injury, IMO.

Thanks Brodie.

Bad luck Brodie. Served us well in his 8 years at the club. Best of luck with everything post-football.
