Brad Dodd was a versatile footballer who could play both forward and back as well as effectively undertaking a tagging role. He began his senior career in 1996 with East Fremantle and then was taken as a rookie in the following year’s National Draft by Fremantle. In 1998 he was elevated to the Dockers’ senior list and enjoyed a good first season of AFL football. However, his form was more patchy after that, and he also encountered more than his share of injury woes. In 2001, after playing 50 games and scoring 24 goals for the Dockers, he was de-listed, whereupon he signed for Claremont. He rounded off his career with 60 games and 39 goals for the Tigers over three seasons to add to the 56 games and 48 goals registered with East Freo earlier.

Dodd played in two losing grand finals: for the Sharks against South Fremantle in 1997, and for Claremont, also against South Freo, in his last league appearance in 2005.
