Is brockman really an athletic freak? love his game but never struck me as super athletic.Butler and Brockman are both athletic freaks, it's really only just the beginning for them at this point.
Very different players at this stage, but to quote Jordan... the ceiling is the roof for them!
Ken oath am loving it too. Looks like a few players might be overstepping the mark but that will help them discover how to play on the edge.From CJ “hard and physical footy”, just what I wanted to hear, the unsociable hawks are coming back
He gets the hands off to a teammate and draws a player though… so that’s alright.Sorry I’m gonna say it - love the endeavour but didn’t need the fend off only to cough the ball up. Great first step but then burst 5 and get clean hands to advantage.

And that is the difference. This List has a long, long way to go. But, it is getting there. Come back in three years.When your 'worst' small forward is Poppy you know you are spoiled for choice.
Once again, I don't think a threepeat team and one of the best sides of all time is the minimum requirement for a flag. We'll probably never have a forward line with 3 smalls the quality of Cyril, Breust and Poppy again.And that is the difference. This List has a long, long way to go. But, it is getting there.

I don’t disagree, but if we are going to get any where near a premiership we are going to have to find at least two quality with xfactor smalls. Don’t forget we are losing Bruest in two years.Once again, I don't think a threepeat team and one of the best sides of all time is the minimum requirement for a flag.

Brockman, Butler, Moore have the talent to be those players. Looking forward to them proving it.I don’t disagree, but if we are going to get any where near a premiership we are going to have to find at least two quality with xfactor smalls. Don’t forget we are losing Bruest in two years.
Our forward line is a substantial, substantial work in progress, from KPF’s to smalls. There is very significant work to be done.
The backline is almost there, we are clearly serious about getting the mids right, give it two years, but it says we have so much to do about the forwards. So much !!!
People can only look at his output. He was looking good two years ago in the VFL and then fell away last year. Everyone agrees that he has talent to burn. Either they are wrong about the talent or there is another reason. You can choose which one you want to go with.Yeah right. Bit strange to me. Unless you’re in someone’s head you don’t know how and what they think. I’ve played sport along side people that are overly expressive in what they do and people that don’t show it externally.
Both kinds or people are trying their guts out and compete as hard as each other. Seems a lot of people jump to conclusions about this with Jeka.
Things going well I think Bruest can play longer than that if he wantsI don’t disagree, but if we are going to get any where near a premiership we are going to have to find at least two quality with xfactor smalls. Don’t forget we are losing Bruest in two years.

Accepted. But we have to strive to get the next silverware free of the Bruester.Things going well I think Bruest can play longer than that if he wants
Doesn't make a lot of sense. Could & should be aiming to win him at least one more.Accepted. But we have to strive to get the next silverware free of the Bruester.
I think that’s an over stretch. Fairytale really. Let’s get back to September first. That’s at least 2 years awayDoesn't make a lot of sense. Could & should be aiming to win him at least one more.

7 flags have since been won by sides inferior to that one and many before it.Once again, I don't think a threepeat team and one of the best sides of all time is the minimum requirement for a flag. We'll probably never have a forward line with 3 smalls the quality of Cyril, Breust and Poppy again.

Others have stated this but I want to emphasise it. DGB’s known characteristics translate really well for him as a fwd.I don’t disagree, but if we are going to get any where near a premiership we are going to have to find at least two quality with xfactor smalls.

Brockman is not your typical small forward. He plays similar to Mark Williams, Mark LeCras and Jamie Elliot. He is very good at getting separation against his opponent and taking marks on the lead. He’s also a strong mark overhead. Hopefully he’s in the frame to play Round 1.
We should be pushing for next year.
Might not win but would be mad not to aspire for a deep run into finals in 2024.
The issue is we have to try all our resources that the current List has. If there are blokes like DGB, Frost, Scrim, even Imps together with the aforementioned four small forwards plus Serong, just do it. Find out.Others have stated this but I want to emphasise it. DGB’s known characteristics translate really well for him as a fwd.
1= He fearlessly goes for a mark and usually takes it. 2= he reads the ball well. 3= He fearlessly goes for a mark and usually takes it!!! This matters.
In his draft year DGB was a defender. His tenacity and commitment to winning the ball made him a nightmare match up for most fwds. Hence his high draft position. He would beat them for the mark.
But in the years before he was also an effective as a fwd.
The Hawks backline looks good without him. He is not a rebounding backman... instead he is a shutdown backman without the bulk needed to do the job on the bigger guys. For now, he is not needed down back.
DGB as a swingman. Now that is something to develop. Ask Denver if he wants to kick some goals …. What do you think his answer will be?
DGB is like TOB, But where TOB was “almost”, DGB will be ”achieved”.
