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]
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 early in the 2019 AFL season, however, a hamstring injury caused him to miss the remainder of the year. Brodie played the first round of the 2020 AFL season but the Covid-19 related shutdown of the competition saw him out of the side and unable to break back in that season.[4]
Brodie played five games for Gold Coast in 2021. Following the 2021 AFL season, Brodie was traded to Fremantle.[5] Brodie made his debut for Fremantle during their one point win over Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in round one of the 2022 AFL season.[6] Brodie played every game of the 2022 season a career best and established himself as an important part of Fremantle's midfield.[7]
