brodie atkinson

brodie atkinson -lrb- born 31 july 1972 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played in the australian football league -lrb- afl -rrb- and the south australian national football league -lrb- sanfl -rrb- .
atkinson played for the north adelaide football club in the sanfl from 1990-1992 .
atkinson made his debut for st kilda after being a first-round draft pick in the 1992 afl draft .
in his debut match in round 11 1993 he had 25 touches and earned an afl rising star nomination , but was dropped after one more match despite being among the best once more .
in a shock decision , he was delisted at the end of the season .
atkinson returned to north adelaide for the 1995-1996 seasons before moving to sturt in 1997 where he remained until the end of his sanfl career in 2002 .
after a standout season in 1997 , atkinson was joint winner of the magarey medal , awarded for the best and fairest player in the sanfl competition .
atkinson shared the award with andrew jarman .
in an interesting turn on events he was selected in the 1998 afl draft by adelaide after trading chad rintoul to west coast for pick 80 .
at age 26 , and out of afl for several years , his sanfl form with the sturt football club was enough to get him re-drafted .
hampered by groin injuries , he played only five games in 1999 before being delisted once again .
on 24 october 2000 , atkinson was awarded the australian sports medal for being a recipient of the highest individual honour in south australian football .
atkinson coached portland to a western border football league premiership in 2003 .
