I have been pretty vocal (maybe irrationally so) about a Brayshaw debut, I'm going to go ahead and surprise nobody by suggesting that he should come in to the side this week.
I have watched him closely since he was drafted and also at u18 level and can sort of break-down his strengths as:
+...
I didn't say he's a superstar, I said that he has ostensibly done everything asked of a young player to receive an opportunity in the senior side. If you know why he isn't getting the chance then feel free to share.
I am honestly at a loss as to how Hamish Brayshaw has:
1. Not been named
2. Has been dropped from being an EMG
It's extremely disappointing to say the least given that he has ticked literally every box the club has put in front of him since being drafted. It's disgraceful and makes zero sense...
I think the key issues for now are:
1. Not the right structure/match-ups for humid, greasy northern conditions. At our best we're using the ball well by foot and dominating the aerial battle... in these sorts of conditions though I think we need to prioritise grunt and pace to finesse and...
Hey guys, stiff luck last night...I genuinely thought you'd run past them after you got to within 4 at HT.
Anyway, just wanted to express my condolences in advance because at some point in this season: Buddy's direct opponent will take out a flamethrower and set him on fire, shoot him 9 times...
Are you serious? We're 10-3 in a year where most expected us to tail off significantly.
Simmo has taken us to finals in 3 of his 4 years at the helm (Including a GF) and is getting some exceptional football out of our current side despite the volume of experience we lost from last year. What...
Unbelievable.
Luke Partington has done absolutely EVERYTHING in the WAFL in about 3 different positions and isn't even listed as an emergency. What's the bet that Redden and Masten are still ahead of him in the queue to get a call-up as well? Heartening to see Tommy Cole get a gig, but it's...
It'd be very very disappointing if Partington isn't named this week... I followed him closely pre-draft and he has the potential to be a very very good player. Has a very unique mixture of attributes and has done more than enough in the WAFL to warrant a debut.
Absolutely MUST play this week...
Hi Guys! Great Discussion! I was very interested to read Ross say the following this morning:
Seems to suggest that Walters has cemented himself a more permanent spot in the midfield! What do you guys think?
I watched the whole game and have been watching all of Carlton's games this year with a neutral interest and I thought I'd share some of my observations (from an outsider perspective) for tonight's game:
Kade Simpson:
I absolutely love this guy and if there was an ANZAC Medal for 1 player on...
Wow really?? I thought Ross wants him to spend more time in there to allow the younger guys to get more on-ball time?
So you reckon that he will grow into more and more time in midfield every game?
Hi Everyone!
Lachie Neale didn't attend a single centre bounce in that 1st half vs Melbourne, YES he scored 140 SC but I don't think we can count on him to have a 90+ point 3rd quarter every week :S (He was only on 32 at Half Time).
Please tell me Ross's plan to play him forward is temporary :'(
I must say reading through some posts that some people on here are extremely critical of the kids coming through. From an outsider perspective, I'd commend Sydney on churning out some of the best young talent in recent years.
The way I see it:
Nic Newman: Great foot-skills and composure in...
I made a pre-JLT post with the team I had and an unnecessarily long spiel on why I had chosen that side....I thought it was only appropriate to do the same pre- R1 :P
Anyway, I've settled on this for R1 (Rookies Included unless one of them is a Shock Omission for Rd1...Most of them have...
Here are a couple of things worth pondering:
-> The Selection of Jason Johannissen:
Plenty of people labelling him a lock which I can't comprehend in the slightest. He is yet to play a full-season in his career, has soft-tissue injury history, scored 90+ in only 6 of his 13 In-Season games...
Hi Guys/Gals! Relatively new to BF but 5th Season of SC! Love reading the banter/insights on here. Here is my V1 for whatever it's worth!:
DEFENSE:
Structure:
I'm going with a 3-3 Structure. Defense is tough to predict and the gap in points between a solid rookie and a 400-500k pick is...
He will only miss if he receives a fine for the offence, if it's thrown out for failing to meet the standard required for a reportable offence- he's free to play.
Hi Guys! An Eagle fan here but I've always loved watching Gold Coast right from the start! Aside from the loss to Brisbane and Geelong, you guys have certainly shown plenty, the injuries hurt but I reckon you are a solid chance of knocking off Melbourne this week- its not like they've got all...
Hey guys, seeking some of your wisdom!
I've got Sam Gray in supercoach and I picked him at the start of the year certain he'd average at LEAST 90 given his permanent mid time, but he's had a shocking few weeks and top of it all- he only spent 70% time on ground against GWS!! Im really unsure...
Hey Guys! I've looked around and seen a few different opinions on Wayne Milera's Job Security, I think he's an absolute jet and I honestly feel he deserves a run of 5-6 games before being given a spell in the SANFL, but obviously I wouldn't know as much as you guys!
What are your thoughts on...
Awesome! I'll make the transfer by the end of the week! Is it okay if you add me on Facebook/Twitter or something so I can contact you outside of here? (I don't use bigfooty very much) my name is Vinay Lakshman
