Player Watch Brayden Sier (Delisted 2021)

[DraftBalta]

So was Luke Shackleton. The next Michael Voss.

So he's going to coward punch someone outside a pub?

Anyone know if Shackleton went back and dominated country footy?

Anyone know if Shackleton went back and dominated country footy?

It looks as if he had a long and successful career back home in Tasmania:-

Delisted without playing another game, Shackleton joined the Tasmanian Devils in 2005. He later returned to his original club, the Burnie Dockers, whom he would captain in the 2011 Tasmanian Football League season.

He was named in the TSL Team of the Year 2010, 2012 and 2013. In 2012 he was named The RACT Insurance Player of the Year (voted on by newspaper journalists).

Loved Shackleton. He was born to be a country star.

Hes looking in ripping nick, to be that size at 19 is amazing. Lets hope he gets some decent run he was always going to be a project player.

Happy that they gave Sier one more year, though now like a few others it is a make or break year.

Not entirely convinced it’s make or break for him just yet. Definitely has to show progress but he’s still a development player.

It’s real progress he has to show. Even if he does not make the ones, he has to be close l reckon.

Come on Timmy, it's year number three for him next year, so he really does need to show plenty or he has almost no chance of staying on our list!! Given that he was a speculative pick in the first place, and plenty of (seemingly) sensible posters around here thought he'd be pushed back to the rookie list next season (if he was retained at all), you are being rather generous! With a bit of luck he will play a full season, and end up being heralded as a Hine masterstroke!!! I'm still hopeful, but he does need to show something in 2018!

Agreed - he should be putting himself in the frame for selection towards the end of the year - doesn't have to be best 22 of course but given a few injuries he'd want to be in good enough VFL form to be considered and hopefully get a few games to get a taste.

Yep, no great expectations but a clear run with injury and solid progress in the vfl should set him up

Got 20 odd possies in his last game and got tagged as a result.

Bit like a previous number 10 pick, I think that thread may still have legs and he wasn’t even our first pick that year.

The Brendan Abbott thread was also ripper. A lot of big calls.

It would be humorous if Sier played his debut before Freeman did.

He is when it comes to trolling

 

[Kilmo]

No it's not the same and I wouldn't call Howe a bag of twisties either.

It was Howe for Kennedy and Seedsman. So BK really only got us half of the bag of twisties

FFS TG he's 19 (bottom-ager in his draft year) and had his fair share of injuries - we also knew when he came in that he didn't have the preparation that the elite football pathways give a draftee fitness-wise. I'm not saying that he'll be a patch on Swanny, but we all know how we all thought he too should be given the arse early on when he was fat and lazy (despite his pedigree).

I'm backing the kid in to have a good year this year if he can stay on the park (that will be equal parts on him with his prep / recovery and the off-field team with management of his workloads to get him where he needs to be) and be pressing hard for selection in 2019 as a 21 year old inside midfield bull.

Some high quality auto correct happening there - apparently I type "ffs dave" a lot.

Edit: Thought I'd throw this one in while we're a bit off topic (although the main protagonist is a slightly chubby young fella wearing black and white so maybe it's a bit more on topic again???):

 

[Justlokan]

As I've mentioned previously for new players.

Brett Anderson mentioned Sier as a smokey pre draft, so he was mentioned pre draft.

Brett Anderson said on SEN there were clubs interested in Sier around the mark we had a pick, or thereabouts, so we pulled the trigger.

Just because a player isn't mentioned with the usual cattle drive doesn't mean he can't be a prized bull.

And he was a player what pick 32?
Hardly like it was top 10 pick.
Usually in the 30 range a player has identified flaws and there is a so so strike rate. So unsure why Sier isn't any different to others in that range?

Who was identified pre draft by all the experts in their previews from 32 onwards that's become a really good player?

He may very well be a bust, wouldn't be the first, but going on his size and potential I'd like to see him get a big pre season in, hopefully be injury free, and see what we have. And he's cheap.
No brainer for me.

Doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.
Because I'm unsure who we could have got (by all the experts) that has gone on with it anyway.

I also don't understand the angst - if you look at the players picked up between Sier and our next pick (Tom Phillips) the only players of note that we missed out on are Mitchell Hibberd and maybe harley Balic. I'm sure there are others who'll develop good careers but at this point Sier isn't that far behind the others we could've taken at 32

I C+P'd the list in for an earlier reply to another post bemoaning how we could have / should have / would have drafted another KPP with that pick - it's a lazt sunday arvo so I'll just quote that one again:
