Player Watch #33: Brayden 'Sausage' George - re-signed until end of 2026

[KangaRooster]

Lets keep in mind where the expectations have come from.

1. Drafted as an injured "would've gone top 10-15 if he wasn't" mercurial medium forward - which we love at North.

2. After an all-time-great first season from Sheezel, and Wardlaw showing incredible signs while being managed through his hamstring/endurance issues, Viney at the Q&A said "we've got Brayden yet to come in who is internally rated as highly as those two while he might be the best of the lot".

Hyperbole notwithstanding, the excitement to get him healthy and playing in his preferred position is well deserved, imo.

Named forward. BGZ in the middle too...

 

[Ardent Roo]

I actually think it was Ratten that said that. I could be wrong.

Coaches should set a goal for him - we want to see you in the last 4 games of the year. Stick it on his locker door. Richmond/Eagles/Doggies/Hawks. Aside from the Hawks, all those sides will have their eye on Mad Monday celebrations and their end of season trip. A chance to play with slightly less pressure and build some confidence for 2025. Let’s hope the hype is ripe come August, and we all say it been worth the wait.

Looks like he has done a serious injury. Potentially a knee.

He got up relatively quickly if it's a knee. Hopefully just an awkward landing and he's alright.

He did walk off with assistance, and by God he is due some luck that hopefully it’s just bruising and nothing more serious.

Slapped the ground instantly, he knew. Horrible result.

Injured sliders. One day it'll pay off.
Terrible luck if true, for him and club.

would take an extraordinary effort to come back.

would take an extraordinary effort to come back.

And watch us egregiously offer him a contract extension. Delist and find his replacement in the draft.

 

[Horizons_00]

Another extremely unlucky player

But we are cursed picking the most injury prone players
