Keegan Brooksby

[Sunny_]

Rookie draft pick #42.

Clayton says: "A mature-age ruckman, he's 24 and won South Adelaide's best and fairest. In another life he turned down a basketball scholarship in America, so he's athletic. He comes from a good footy family, his father Phil played 278 games for South Adelaide at full-back. Keegan's a real competitive inside ruckman."

Was hoping we would rookie a mature ready-to-go ruckman as back-up and to strengthen our NEAFL team

I posted it in another thread a while back, but I may as well post it here so this thread can become more of a way-back machine.

Keegan Brooksby to spent time parts of 2016 in defense.

I always liked Keegan. Hopefully he makes the improvements necessary so he can get some games with us.

He's a funny one. He's in nobody's best 22, nor was he expected to have been upgraded at the end of last year, yet in the games he's played at AFL level he's performed quite well and certainly hasn't let anyone down.

He's just such an awkward height and size that his best role is yet to be seen, imo. Hopefully his time down in defense either makes him a better defender or strengthens his role as a forward.
