15 games into a career is much too early to be settling on a position.
As this fellow gains experience and game time and develops further who knows what he could be...and where it could be.
I suspect it will depend a lot on our needs at the time.
He played as a key forward in many of his 28 VFL games. Perhaps they were trying to develop his forward craft too.
You're right about fitting in to our needs though Lods. If we do pick up a gun KPD, or Lewis Young returns to form, Brodie could play as a third tall defender or as a forward. However, his intercept marking and ability to break the lines is much better suited to a defensive role.
