AFL Player #24: Nick Bryan

[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 16, ant555

 

[Howard Moon]

Just not afl match fit, plus half the time he plays he gets subbed out after 50% match time.

I assume cox going out early ruined their sub plans for Bryan

Yep he definitely would’ve been subbed

 

[MiguelM]

Keep him in. Competed well. I had doubts but was good.

Only way to build an AFL tank is play AFL level.

 

[bennyg12]

Keep him in

 

[ant555]

Has to keep playing and we simply have to hold him to next years contract. Not the finished product and may never be but he is better than the scraps available .

It is going to be an interesting trade period. There is some interest in Draper from SA as well.

You'd probably do a Draper trade if it gets us the crom's first round pick

Provided Nick Bryan hasn’t left to seek opportunities elsewhere.

I dare say Draper's leaving would be the cocaine-laced carrot to stay for Bryan.

He is contracted so we don't have to trade him unless we are comfortable with it

 

[jdstorm]

Drapers looking a better FF than Ruck.

Think Bryan gets No1 ruck next year even if Draper is still here

They simply have to hold unless the offer is too good.

 

[Zach Package]

Anyone else think the addition of Goldstein has really improved the actual tap craft of Bryan and Draper as well?

Been a good addition, Bryan has really taken strides this year and looks the part.

Adelaide aren’t going to trade for Draper when he’s a free agent next year

we’ll see.

They may aswell burn the joint down if they even think about offering their first for a player like draper.

I think he will definitely explore his options.
He has done OK against Witts and now Grundy.

He is exploring his options and is a big chance to ask for a trade.

 

[DERO]

I’m hoping the taste in the back end of the year and an indication that he plays most weeks next year keeps him at the club but he is frustrated and wants more opportunity. There is also a rumour that Draper is looking at an offer from SA as well.

I would laugh my arse off if we are just left with Goldy.

 

[Vindicater]

Hold him to his deal and make him number one next year.

playing alongside Draper and appearing to play as much ruck as SD should mean we hold him to his contract and he does play 18+ games next year. Could feasibly fight with and push out draper for the #1 ruck spot if he continues to improve.

Would seem an odd move to leave for more opportunity when he is now clearly in the best 22. He may have even moved ahead of Draper in the ruck pecking order with Draper taking the ruck/forward role.

I think its already happened with Bryan the ruck and Draper the ruck/forward

Maybe now but he wasn’t getting a regular game a few weeks ago. We’ll see… there is a fair bit of interest i.e offers in front of him.

Without knowing the details of the offers it doesn't surprise me and wouldn't surprise if there is more money than what we currently have him signed up for. Might be a case of renegotiating/extending the contract early to match his new standing in the team. The opportunity is now clearly there. He is in the team as the ruckman and its not due to injury to anyone.
