Brayshaw is still being managed I think, still only 78 minutes last night, 68 last week, after getting the Corkie in the calf.

Be careful, the acolytes will be after you if you say anything negative about the golden boyI threw the idea out there of getting something for Brayshaw and was shot down. He should be dropped.
Be careful, the pitchfork brigade will be after you if you say anything positive about the whipping boyThink people are being a little harsh on Andy tbh.
He had one bad clanger but other than that he was clean with the ball, he worked hard, actually had 2 tackles inside 50 when were getting belted in that stat.
only watched half of sat's game but thought Cerra was really good in the back half (with Shill) in that 1st quarter onslaught when the ball kept coming in again and again. Prevented a number of potential goals.
That user name has stood the test of time.This. Cerra was great for the first one and a half quarters. Just needs to finish out a game. Easier said then done, all young players would be the same. This is what the coaches are there for, develop the players..
If all the coaches are off Blakely why didnt we trade him? IMO he was tracking just as good as the other two if he went to a side such as Sydney am sure he would be a top player for them not so easy for these guys at the Dockers.
Everyone wants a Brownlow medalist but the reality is that if you get 2 X 250 gamers who play solid football for 10 years then we've done bloody well.Totally agree.
Our team needs for them to be A graders but they are 3 year players.
People need to relax. They are developing pretty well.
Exactly this!!!What would you have expected for Blakely? I'd say somewhere around pick 40-50. With that level of currency he's probably better as a depth player and if selected this week hopefully seizes his opportunity.
Yes, Serong seemed to spend more time in the middle than either Cerra or (especially) Brayshaw. No stats to back that up, just the way it looked on TV.Brayshaw may have an injury that we can't see... , but it looks to me like the coach doesn't want to play him in the position he was drafted for and played in as a junior.

Now I am more than happy for a young midfielder to get his chance, but it did seem noticable that more opportunity was given to Serong than the other two.
Serong attended 11 Centre Bounces (out of 22 in)
Andy attended 1
Cerra Zilch
Could have been linked to Rowell being same draft year as Serong and knowing his game better than the older guys.
Guess we'll see this week.
Didn't realise it was that high for Serong. It felt as if Cerra was around the ball more than zero centre bouncesSerong attended 11 Centre Bounces (out of 22 in)

Weird...It's not like the guys in there were doing the job either..
Do you have stats for the rest?

Absolutely, people need to go back and read what was written about Mundy in his first 5 years.People putting a line through them now are the ones who probably would have delisted Mundy at 21.
Who? Serious question.I know they try and build resilience in players by making them play through adversity, but seriously. We have other midfielders who could be doing a better job than him at the moment.
I'm glad you're only starting to get bad vibes, I wouldn't be putting too much stock in what happens with a player's form who's at the early early stages of his 3rd year, in the weirdest of seasons. Brayshaw showed quite a bit last year.Cerra has the tools to make it. Despite being slow as a snail. And developing painfully slowly. 11 touches is still not enough - although they were classy touches which is encouraging, and his time spent in defense is starting to show with some good defensive efforts.
Brayshaw I'm starting to get bad vibes about. He is gutsy and determined which is great - but skills, awareness, decision making, speed, body size, almost every key AFL attribute is nothing more than average. He could make it as a pure inside mid, but does he have the frame for it? Serong has come in looking like more of a bull in his first game and 2 years younger.
Obviously he needs to get played midfield for us to actually find out, not sure why he's not, and if he's carrying an injury needs to be dropped to work through it because whatever role he's playing right now for the team isn't working.
