Brad Dick's AFL Journey
Starting His Career in 2007
Bradley Anthony Dick began his AFL journey in 2007. His first game was against the Richmond Tigers. In his first season, he played in six games.
Dealing with Injuries
Brad faced a tough challenge in 2008. He got a knee injury during a practice match before the season started. This injury meant he could not play any games for the entire 2008 season.
In 2009, Brad made a strong comeback. He was nominated for the NAB AFL Rising Star award. This award recognizes young players who show great talent. He earned this nomination after scoring five goals in a game against the Melbourne Demons. He also had a career-best game where he got 25 disposals against Port Adelaide.
More injuries affected Brad's career. In 2010, a shoulder injury kept him from playing at the start of the season. He only played two games before hurting his shoulder again. This injury needed surgery, which ended his season early.
Moving to a New Team
Brad continued to struggle with injuries in 2011, which limited his playing time. At the end of the 2011 season, Collingwood decided he would no longer play for their team.
To try and play in the AFL again, Brad moved back to his home state of Western Australia. The West Coast Eagles then chose him in a special draft for new or returning players.
However, Brad did not get to play any games for the West Coast Eagles. He announced his retirement from professional football at the end of the 2013 season.
