Early career

He grew up in Shepparton before accepting a scholarship to attend Scotch College, Melbourne.[1] He was drafted by Gold Coast with their third selection and ninth overall in the 2016 national draft.[2]

AFL career

He made his debut in the thirty-five point loss against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in round ten of the 2017 season.[3]

Brodie started to find some consistency with his football in 2019, however, a hamstring injury caused him to miss the remainder of the season. Played the first round of 2020 but the Covid shutdown of the competition saw him out of the side and unable to break back in.

Following the 2021 AFL season, Brodie was traded to Fremantle.[4]
