Matthew Broadbent - Past Player

[PRDPower]

Was number 1 in Mark Robinson's 'Unsung Heroes of the Week' section in the Herald Sun today.

 

[FishingRick04]

yeah, not all do.

Agree on the **** Also agree with the above but it's not a high percentage when we start venturing outside the top 20. You could probably answer that better than me though.

I'm almost coming around to Robbo.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Josh Francou gave him a good write up in his tiser column this morning.

Positive media? so it is real....

He has done well for himself, want to see him continue this for some time know though

 

[ash_78]

Never thought I'd say this but there's almost nobody else in the side who I feel more confident with the ball in their mits than Broady. Has become a dead-eye dick in front of goal too.

Loving his improvement this year. Get on the darts DURING the season and he could win the Brownlow

 

[RonSon]

When did we draft Broadbents brother Ben? Must have slipped under my radar...

Funny how he couldn't buy a goal in the first couple of games!

 

[El_Scorcho]

His stats line was staggering really. 25 clanger free touches at 92%, with plenty of clearances and contested possessions.

gopower, two weeks ahead of the mainstream media

I reckon you can probably take credit for about half of Robert Walls' spiel on 5AA last week too.

 

[Schulzenfest]

In that example I and most of this board were about 2 years ahead of the mainstream media. Those who showed faith in Schulz from the start (unlike me, which in hindsight was probably the dumbest opinion I've ever expressed on here, and there have been some bad ones ) had them by 2 and a half years.

 

[finbarr]

Yeah, I know. I'm more referring to the fact Walls was basically quoting directly from that thread.

Phhht 6 months ahead of mainstream media

 

[Portia]

Brendan Lade was ahead any of yas.

It looks lie Broady will be announced as the Round 9 CGU Unsung Hero on The Insider tonight. Its good too see some of our players are starting to get exposure through Vic media. Robbo gave him a wrap on 360 last night too. Think he will thrive on the back of stringing some good games together, hopefully it continues against Carlton this week.

[Zahara]

Although I'm pleased with his form, I'm slightly worried about the weight of expectations. One, two or three average-bad games could quite easily change some opinions.

 

[Comettski_1]

That's right, he backs it up again

More possies, clearances and keeping with the 2 goal quota.

Growing in stature with every week...

GO YOU BROADY

 

[Oliver King]

He's been so great to watch lately. Good stuff broady.

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Saying it now, my favourite Port player.

 

[Macca19]

Yep. Next guernsey I get is having #5 on it.

 

[cmpower]

For us with an iPhone what was his clearance count?

 

[finbarr]

Most of us were just hoping for Broady to become a good consistent second tier midfielder and solid contributor. He's leapfrogging that particular status in rather spectacular fashion.

If he trained on Max Basheer Reserve he'd be commanding back page headlines by now.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

8 clearances - led all comers
