Now we why draft night goes for so long.
We better finally get a ruck, just in case someone else takes him as he could also rotate forward and across 2004/2005 played a lot up there.
Westside Pavlovas select Michael Gardiner.
His legacy likely suffers because of the generational ruck Cox that emerged and took over in the same team. However Gardiner was still an All Australian ruck prior to that, had multiple seasons as a ruck/forward where he went at 1.3 goals a game and was a towering presence who took 5 marks per game over his career. Was very useful at St Kilda in the twilight of his career too.

True, but there is a slight caveat to one of those seasons
as yes he did average 1.3 goals in that season, but he only played 3 games.
Also I am being a bit of a dick, he was a good player.

Fremantle Dockers select with #356 Tanner Bruhn
We needed a young player to round out our team to provide the growth necessary over the next 10 years. We chose Tanner for his ability to find the ball, and weave his magic in front of goals. An exciting mid/forward who has gained a lot of respect from Chris Scott by being given full midfield responsibilities.
A clone of Fly McRae we see huge potential in Tanner and believe he will be the next big thing in the AFL in 2025.

Fair enough, but we have no evidence to say he wouldn't have maintained that average given he backed it up over the entire 2005 season.
Hence we combine the 2004/2005 games and we are happy with our findings.And yes you and Purple have been oddly dickish about my team at times - it's been good fun!

Would anyone have picked Bruhn?
I reckon he's going to be the next big player in the next two years to be mentioned aside players like Daicos/Serong/Butters etc

This is why I want to put it in the main forum on Google Forms so there's no bias.Fair enough, but we have no evidence to say he wouldn't have maintained that average given he backed it up over the entire 2005 season.

Bruhn's been playing Center and when he was at GWS was a bit more up forward.

That's not too bad a return this season 19 disposals nearly 4 tackles a game (can play forward) although Scott's got him in the MF which I think is really smart giving game time to a young kid over older players like Adelaide is doing RN. He's on about 5 clearances a game this season, good contested ball winner.
Yeah Bruhn's only really had 32 games as a midfielder - the ones at Geelong. So it's very early days.
One thing to keep in mind is he is currently used as a burst player who gets just 60%-ish time on ground. In fact Scott manages most midfielders like that since 2022. Heavy rotations = less stats. It's unknown whether this will change as he develops and can maybe get the standard 80-85% midfield time that most players do.
Frustratingly Bruhn's had injury niggles interrupting him so far. Just as he breaks into some strong form he cops a knock and misses a couple of games, then struggles on his first one back. If he can get continuity he will develop really nicely. His ball use has already come on leaps and bounds compared to a year ago, and he is showing more signs of the contested bull he'll become. Already very strong for clearances and tackles, especially if you normalise it to game time. I'm hoping 2025 is his breakout year.

Forgot to update my team. This is how we'd line up with the three tall forwards (likely it's Hogan who ends up in a Gunston type role and Schulz anchored closer to the goal square):

i am so excited to see what trent rivers can develop into as a midfielder in 2025 and beyond
he hasn't got the accolades that hayden young has had bestowed upon him, but i'm quietly confident that he's just as impactful a player with a full preseason as a mid under his belt
as a half back rebounder he's already a premiership player, and with the combo of strong half back / mid types in my side i'm confident he'll be a ripper for the coming off the pine in rotation role with hodge, lewis, simpson
Guardian Hawk , yr up
B: Neville Jetta - Steven May - Jake Lever
HB: Luke Hodge - Chris Tarrant - Kade Simpson
C: Daniel Wells - Sam Walsh - Peter Burgoyne
HF: Kane Lambert - Cameron Mooney - James McDonald
F: Justin Koszchitzke - Tom J Lynch - Aaron Davey
Foll: Todd Goldstein - Jordan Lewis - Jack Viney
I/c: Caleb Windsor - Jacob Van Rooyen - Trent Rivers
