Michael Orr covers Portland Timbers in Major League Soccer. He writes about the intersection between MLS and the A-League when the opportunity arises.

Agreed, a very good point. The numbers are even more restrictive in the A-League so it certainly explains why most of those who have played in both leagues are Australians or Kiwis who perhaps attended university in the US. Still, MLS clubs get a minimum of eight international spots and can trade to acquire more for a given season. There’s almost always room or a way to find room if the player is of enough interest.

Could Brockie's MLS loan be the start of something good?

Certainly possible, though he would have to be very impressive to not return to Wellington at all. We’ll see what kind of playing time he gets. Toronto is off to another difficult start and his loan is so inextricably tied to Nelsen that he (Nelsen) will need to play Brockie to justify it.
