Great job Quazar.

Take a bow, Will!
Really had an 11 clearance game, but this one didn’t count on the stat sheet.
Might have caught the virus Petracca had, but is just more resilient, and less likely to drop form.
Going to be tough with Banfield stealing votes off him all season
Thats our son Will there.
Just remembering.

Necesary but insufficient.
We got the rest too.

His third quarter in particular was great. Standing up in tackles, breaking them and moving the ball forward every time.

Just needs some media noise and he could be All Australian, he’s been very consistent
The only player from Freo who's being spoken of by the media for AA selection is Andy
Will should definitely be spoken of for at least being in the squad but the media have their favourites as usual

He has a trait of staying upright and composed in tight spaces, drawing in tacklers and then cleverly releasing the handball into the space he created.
Awesome spatial awareness. As the saying goes, if you’re not quick of feet then you need to be quick of thought.

Honestly he won’t be talked about how good he is until we play finals.
He is elite as an inside mid, with Serong we have the best hands in the business.
Very excited to see how they fit Fyfe in, but he should play a hybrid role, similar
to what Dusty did at the Tigers.
Short bursts midfield, marking target forward of centre.

His form as a replacement for Cerra (and only 1 year younger) is one of the reasons why our progress up the ladder has not been disrupted. I was concerned that losing Cerra would put us back a year. We effectively replaced Cerra without disruption and added a couple of future young guns into the midfield mix. Also allowed us to use a top 10 pick on KPF for the first time since Pav.
The Will Brodie selection (free hit essentially) and the sliding down the draft order of Walker (using the pick we traded Jesse Hogan for) has more than made up for the Jesse Hogan trade disaster.
I also imagine Justin used Jesse in his first season as coach to help establish his preferred forward structure.
Will Brodie’s development and form this year is beyond expectations and just astounding really.

Depends who you are, some of people do those rating based on a players last month, some a year, some a career.
It is a very good draft, he'll struggle to get top 3 for mine unless he's basically like this the rest of his career. He's got late-bloomer competition with the guy drafted one spot before him as it stands

He's not just a replacement for Cerra - he's an upgrade on Cerra.
I almost wet myself when watching some of Brodie’s foot passes yesterday. They were scrappy dribbles along the ground, but they found their player.
Definitely get things done with the minimum of fuss.
Comparisons with Cerra are not warranted, one is in the middle of the battlefield, ....... the other is back at base waiting for packages from home.

It’s an interesting hypothetical - would we still be going this well if Cerra stayed and we didn’t have the money for Brodie?
I heard that Gold Coast are paying a small portion of his salary. Does anyone know if this is correct?
