Brayshaw and Cerra.

[Snuffaluphagus]

Brayshaw is ridiculous in that he plays inside mid, then breaks outside and runs down wingers. He rakes up tackles and quick handballs.
He’s a mould of perfectly balanced endurance and speed. He took on Langdon tonight and easily had him. Delightful to watch.
Cerra. What a great climb he has been through. Progressed naturally to the midfield, and is perfectly similar to Mundy. Just class and smooth in and out of the packs. Doesn’t panic, hard to tackle and kicks like pin point.
The both have made huge strides this season out of the group. Top 5 in Doig for the both easily

Something I've noticed about Andy of late, while he doesnt have the "untackalable" nature of the Fyfe's of the world, he's impossible to pin down. I reckon he gets tackled with the ball for a ball up once or so a game, and those are generally the ones where he takes it and is immediately beset on.

The guys arms are like soap and is core is stupid strong for 20, so he finds his away to get off a possession almost every time. Treat to watch

We've become really good at picking players in the first round... hoorah!

the truth. Kind of reminds of ben cousins.

On the field and yet the polar opposite off the field.

 

[A New Hope]

If Brayshaw could add an eye for the goal he will be elite. Plenty of times he doesnt back himself or even look for a kick at goal.

 

[Bastyy]

Cerra once again showing how good he is gonna be. With Serong the current favourite for the Rising Star, and Andy probably top 3 in our B&F this year, we have a superb future on the inside.

Going forward I wouldn't mind a Mid/Forward along with Valente and Tucker in the mid, could be Western or Sturt or Henry.

But wow, Cerra and Brayshaw are going to be an insane duo for the future.

Tucker I reckon. Fyfe might credit him in his brownlow speech for his defensive work.
However for me, tucker showed that he's a great front running mid.
Which means if we are on top, tucker is pushing forward and going bananas with a nice kick to. If we are not on top or in control of a game tucker goes missing (not through lack of effort, its actually a common problem for half backers transitioning to midfield because they are used to the game unfolding ahead of them).
This isn't a crack at tuckers ability to mind a man on transition or running defensively he just hasn't worked how to find possessions when this is happening.

Running to get onto the end fast break chain of possession is a different skill to providing an outlet kick, getting possession in and around stoppage and its in many ways wildly different to defensive running.
I might be alone on this but tucker has that front running fast break offense down pat.

Serong, brayshaw, cerra aren't noted goal kickers (yet). Tucker does like a snag and provides something the others don't.

Further proof that the number 1 pick is over rated. Even if you get a once in a generation talent (Rowell) how many number 1 picks have won flags?

What's the answer? Dessie, Hodge, Boyd. I've probably missed one or 2?

Ben had that extra string that he was a deadly forward too

Deledio? Gardy, banfield from my scan

 

[Van_Dyke]

As President and CEO of the Brayshaw fan club I welcome your aggression.

Joao as president of both the Sturt and Crowden fan club surely you can let Yeti have the AB fan club

 

[Lach72]

no to Deledio. He went to gws before Richmond won their first

 

[FD2646]

no to Deledio. He went to gws before Richmond won their first

Gardiner also - no flags at wce or Saints.

If Benny lived a clean life he would have been the greatest.

Mitch doesn't need a fan club.

I'm founder of the Sturt and AB ones. Yeti can be the president.

He probably wouldn’t of been as good tbh

 

[Scham]

Always remember at draft time Darren Bewick saying Cerra was the best talent that he’d seen come through the junior pathways that he’d been involved in which is saying something.

After Cerra’s first 2 seasons I thought he was bonkers but turns out he knew what he was talking about.

Instagram clearly knows the target audience. AB and AC not popping up on my feed.

Suddenly I feel like I need some footy boots. Caves maybe?

Cerra and Brayshaw so much too look forward too in coming years throw in serong! Mids look so much better with those three... Walters and Fyfe as good as they are were selfish at times and played for themselves too. JL to bring balance across all areas

Walters is desperately needed up forward then in the middle. He can kick 3 a game at his best. Plus it’s better for his career as well.

Everyone says this and his goals last night were great but who would you rather have, Walters leading and getting dunked on time after time in the forwardline or be the player actually kicking inside 50? Walters has had a pretty poor season overall with the role given to him, it's easy to complain about his attitude but if the way we're using him isn't working then something should change.

 

[Taylor]

If Benny lived a clean life he would have been the greatest.

He would be reading the news on Seven, on every footy show and special comments on two or three games a weekend - as well as a development coach role with the AFL academy system.

He had the entire world at his feet.

Any lack of team success that there may be is probably less to do with the player going #1 (and the value they bring) and more to do with the side picking them.
