On shift change watching the replay on Kayo. Brander's trade value is clearly up after this round. The fact he's 195cm shouldn't come into how we view him as a footballer. He's a high talent natural footballer, period. It looks like Simpson and the match committee have accepted his flaws, let him roam on the wing and get to his spots.
He backs himself now, plays on after a mark or in traffic and doesn't shank the kick generally. He's got a 5 week stretch on that wing against average competition in Hawks at the MCG, Adelaide at home, Giants away, Essendon at home then Carlton MCG.
By the end of that run we'll know more about his worth in a trade or on the list long term, but he's looking better every week.
