WILL Brodie has joined his third AFL club, traded to Port Adelaide from Fremantle.
Brodie, 27, has ended up at Port in exchange for a sixth-round pick, currently pick 103.
The Dockers are not expected to use pick 103 at the draft, but the move opens up a senior list spot and frees up space in their salary cap.
Given Brodie is still contracted at the Dockers for next season, Fremantle could not simply delist the midfielder unless they paid out the final year of his deal.
Brodie will reunite with new Power coach and former Dockers assistant Josh Carr.
“As a big-bodied midfielder, Will is strong in the contest and will add important depth to our midfield group,” Port list manager Jason Cripps said.
“Will had his best AFL season in 2022 playing 24 games under Josh Carr as his midfield coach and had the ninth most clearances in the competition.
“We look forward to him making the most of his opportunity as a Port Adelaide player.”
Brodie played 24 games for the Dockers in 2022, including two finals, but then fell out of favour.
He played just five games in 2023 and none in the past two seasons.
Brodie previously played 25 games for Gold Coast, which drafted him with pick No.9 in 2016.
