Coach quote on Performance: 

“Brody was outstanding. Deserving of the opportunity after impressive performances in the Coates Talent League for the Giants Academy he came in and played an unfamiliar role at HF. He looked a natural in the role, bringing elite defensive pressure and being dangerous in offence. He showcased his weapons, could not have been more impressive on debut and has a bright future.” – Gavin Jones (East Coast Eagles – Men’s Premier Division Coach)
