Broomhead has gotta be a chance. There are a few small forwards looking out of form or not ready in their development. All of Brown, Atu and Thomas are on shaky ground. I don't see too many options outside Broomhead or Varcoe who can come into that role if those guys are dropped or miss.

In all seriousness, it would be great to see him back. Has plenty of talent.
Nobody on our list should be written off until they are off our list*. If hes playing ok then give him a go. God knows our forward line needs a boost.

Now or never imo .
Hope he is given a block of 5 games at a minimum and hope he can resurrect a stalled career

Has always been one of my favourites, has all the attributes but no luck! I feel like he plays with a lot of nerves, over thinks and is scared of making a mistake. Confidence comes with games and experience, sadly he’s been robbed of that.
Probably behind Apples at the moment. I think we can bring them both in, bring him in, give him a crack.

Club website had some extended highlights of the scratch match we played against the Eagles and he was very prominent.
Hard to judge from such a small sample but he looks in reasonable nick.
Maybe a straight swap for brown
I think it would be harsh to not have Appleby as first change...I think there is scope to bring broom head in also.
Almost needs a go at it in one of these 3-4 games just to reward him for hanging in there. Imagine being on limited money, travelling interstate, quarantining, etc. and only playing in scratch matches. Would be very easy to lose motivation.

I'd be happy for both Broomhead and Apples to come in for Brown and Atu

weren‘t you arguing to delist him like a month ago?
The fact that he always looks as though he wants to be somewhere else counts against him straight away.

Probably
Or be extremely grateful your club has carried you for so many years for so little return.
Wasn't a good player before his 2 years out with injury.
I am on the fence with Broomy, not sure how he is tracking in the Scratchies. It is definitely now or never though, he needs to get his chance in the coming shootout of games and show more than just a bit, or he will not be around next year in my opinion.

i‘d prefer him to a c brown, tbh. He’s got excellent skills and can kick a goal.

If we can invest 20 games into C Brown, we can give broomy 2 games to see if he's worth hanging onto .

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
Broomy is a Caracella-type without Caracella’s innate ability to find space, and unfortunately, without the run of good health Caracella enjoyed prior to having his career ended by a spinal injury.
He’s going to be up against it from here on out, regardless of whether he gets game time this season or not.
