Is he a decent POD or should I look elsewhere

Would rather Lumumba or Newnes over him mate

Pops out a few good 100+ scores along with some 40 - 60 as well think there are guys around that price that are just more consistent

The issue with Broadbent is that even though he is a good player and comfortably in the 22 he gets given the vest at times making him a risky pick. I think it was round 1 last year he started in green

Don't know where you pulled that one from, he was involved in one vest all last season, started in the green round 1!!!

THE REAL problem with Broadbent is a lot of the time is role is very much completely focused on locking down, I had him last year and there were times when he was just spending every ounce of energy on stopping someone so even though he is a good kick and provides good run and carry he often just isn't an option to go to as he focuses on his man.

Too inconsistent for mine and he has an undefined role. Many better options at the price range.

He was also given green once the previous season in round 9 against the Cats. If I am picking a defender at his price it is a cross next to his name that he started as the sub twice in 2 different seasons. The fact that at his price there are cheaper options that have 0% chance of seeing the vest is strike 2.

Heard Hinkley today say that they wanted him to spend more time through the midfield this year.
Could be an interesting one but not someone I would start with
