About this episode
Brodie Smith discusses his retirement, career journey, and personal experiences in the AFL.
Former Adelaide star Brodie Smith joined Sammy to speak about his decison to retire this year, his upbringing in Adelaide, his family’s passion for the Crows, his desire to be a one club player, his pathway to the AFL, his early years at West Lakes, making a preliminary final under Brenton Sanderson, and the shattering death of Phil Walsh. He then spoke about the success they had under Don Pyke, the ACL injury he suffered in the 2017 qualifying final, how difficult it was to watch their grand final loss, his passion for coaching, the opportunity he got to captain the club in 2020, and more.
