[2] After a third-place finish in South Adelaide's 1986 best and fairest award, he was picked up by Fitzroy with their first selection of the 1987 VFL Draft. [3]

Brockhurst had 20 disposals on his league debut, against the Brisbane Bears in 1988 and wouldn't better that number in the rest of his 16 games that year. [4]
