Who’s Bradshaw?

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

I know people get as stiffy about LDU but I just don’t see it with that bloke. IMO he is very overrated for a bloke who has been given the keys to a Roos midfield. He seems far more interested in his offensive role with very limited application to the defensive stuff.

I could be way off, but every time I see him play he just reeks of averageness. Sure he might play a decent game every 5 weeks and you hear about it as the media seems to love his name, but on overall output, it’s a pass

He’s definitely got a lot to work on with his defensive side.

The downside of him developing at North is the bad habits he’s picked up along the way.

I’m not against the David Cunningham interest. Not sure exactly where he fits but belongs at the level and is very handy depth and would come cheap. Anyone know what happened with the Gold Coast islander bloke that we had interest in?

Isn’t this oversold though given you have to pay 95% year on year? For example in 2022 we only would have banked about 650k spare so you would need several years of this to do any significant sort of front loading. Front loading will also become dangerous as clubs will try to pick off older stars when they start getting the low backended money with sizeable offers. I believe that was the Saints play for Merrett so it’s started already. List mgt is fascinating hey…

younger guys have also been given 'fatter' upfront contracts to help in future. there is a risk to this in that they take off but you back in your culture & strategy

Yeah, not sure he's a perfect fit.

Speed yes. We need some in the middle.

Kicking is bog average and we ideally need another elite user in the middle of the ground.

I'm torn. Happy to take him working on a theory we will just overwhelm teams with run.

All I took from that is Ross Lyon is coming hard or something or other.
