Will Brodie retires after 10 years across three AFL clubs
Will Brodie ends his 10-year AFL career at 28 after playing just two games for Port Adelaide.
Will Brodie has called time on a decade in the AFL, moving through Gold Coast, Fremantle and Port Adelaide. The 28-year-old won the Max Porter Memorial Trophy for the SANFL best and fairest runner-up despite limited senior opportunities with the Power this year.
Brodie played 56 AFL games in total. Port Adelaide has also delisted forwards Ollie Lord and Tom Anastasopoulos.
Lord, 24, played 35 games but a ruptured ACL in early-season SANFL football cut short his 2026. Anastasopoulos, 21, made five senior appearances after debuting in round 10.
Port list boss Jason Cripps thanked all three for their commitment. The departures are part of a significant off-season turnover at the Power.
