AFL career

In 2007, Bradley Anthony Dick made his debut against Richmond. He played 6 games in his debut season.

Brad Dick missed the entire 2008 season following a knee injury he obtained in a pre-season practice match.

In 2009, he was selected as a nominee for the NAB AFL Rising Star following his 5-goal performance against the Melbourne Demons in the Queen's Birthday clash. He also had a career high 25 disposals against Port Adelaide.

A pre-season shoulder injury sidelined Dick for the early part of 2010. He managed just two games before re-injuring his shoulder, needing season ending surgery. He finished with four goals in the Queen's Birthday match against Melbourne.

Dick struggled for game time in 2011, following another injury. At the end of the 2011 season, he was delisted by Collingwood. In an attempt to reignite his AFL career, Dick relocated to his home state of Western Australia, where he was drafted by the West Coast Eagles with pick 61 in the rookie draft.

Dick did not play a game for the Eagles, and announced his retirement at the end of the 2013 season.[ citation needed ]
