Brockhurst, a half back and wingman, was already 23 when he came to Fitzroy, having previously played at South Adelaide.[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]
He made 20 disposals on his league debut against the Brisbane Bears and wouldn't better that number in the rest of his 16 games that year.[4]
