Will Brodie is ready to experience finals football for the first time in his career.

In his first season at Fremantle, Brodie has well and truly found a home in the midfield at Fremantle, playing all 22 games this season since joining the Club from Gold Coast over the off-season.

The inside midfielder is averaging career-best numbers in disposals, inside 50s, clearances, goal assists and contested possessions.

With only David Mundy, Nat Fyfe, Michael Walters and Matt Taberner having previously played finals for Fremantle, Brodie believes the group is ready for the step up of September football.

“There’s a lot of us who haven’t played finals before, so everyone is excited,” Brodie said.

“The intensity will lift and a lot of us aren’t sure what to expect with finals footy.

“It was definitely a tough battle today…and it took all four-quarters in the end, but we got the job done and now we’re onto bigger and more exciting things for this footy Club.”

Brodie praised Freo’s midfield unit for taking the step up this season and credited Caleb Serong and Mundy for their individual performances against the Giants.

“The midfield unit as a whole are doing great and we really enjoy playing together and working with each other to make each other better,” Brodie said.

“Caleb is a huge part of that, and we love playing with him. He just keeps getting better and he is really leading for us as well.

“(David also) just keeps getting better I reckon, he is in some really good form and he’s a calm head out there.

“We all look to him to make changes and adjustments. He is very special.”

The round 23 clash marked a significant milestone for Walters playing his 200th AFL game.

Walters played a pivotal role in Fremantle’s win, impacting the scoreboard with an equal game-high three goals.

“He has been awesome, and he’s in some really good form,” Brodie said.

“He is so important to us, with his spirit and passion that he brings, but also the X factor as well - we love playing with him.”

The 20-point win elevated Fremantle to third position on the ladder but they will now need to wait for Sunday’s results to see their final placing as the finals fixtures shape up.

Either way, Brodie believed the atmosphere of a home final at Optus Stadium would go to a whole new level.

“They have been showing up in full force and packing (Optus Stadium) out and I think finals are going to be even better,” Brodie said.

“It’s exciting for us players to know they are going to be behind us and really try and get us across the line.”
