Stats
Bio
Recruited from North Hobart, Brodie Atkinson's AFL career is best remembered for the significant hiatus between his two brief stints at the top level, a gap bridged by elite form in the SANFL. After managing just two senior appearances for St Kilda in 1993, he returned to state league football and transformed into a dominant force for Sturt, eventually claiming the Magarey Medal in 1997. This consistent excellence prompted the Adelaide Crows to hand the mature-age midfielder a second lifeline at the national level for the 1999 season. A tenacious ball-winner with a high work rate, Atkinson added five games to his tally under Malcolm Blight but ultimately struggled to secure a permanent place in the senior lineup, finishing his career as a highly decorated state league player who earned a hard-fought second opportunity on the big stage.
