Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Denver Grainger-Barras

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[westhawk]

He's the player on the list I want to make it the most.

Would completely transform our side if he lived up to his potential.

I think out of all the players currently out, we need him to make it the most. Just needs some continuity and that will build his confidence.

 

[Slysh]

his perceived toughness is slightly overrated imo, he loves the niggle and a scrap. Yet to see him consistently display it in the contest.

He will go back with the flight of the ball harder than anyone else in that backline. Has done it at AFL Level and I saw it often playing league footy for Swan Districts as a 17/18 year old.

Agree. He's kamikaze.

 

[stevehawkington]

Hes lining up for BH, Hopeful he can play well and get back into the seniors

 

[Strattonsphere]

If DGB comes back in poor>okay form nothing changes..

If he comes back in good>great form, it could be season defining for the club..

The ripple effect could be enormous

? Good mark, beautiful kick, swingman.

Or am I just saying that because they’re both ranga’s? Not sure..

 

[Flukey!]

Fabulous that he's back. He has plenty of time to earn a spot for next year now which I was worried he wouldn't when he was first injured.

 

[Howe Amazing]

Hope we show faith in him and sign him up but I get he needs to show it first

 

[CHUBBSS]

Looks a fair bit stronger/leaner in the very limited footage.

McCabe and DGB will be prime time next year, nothing surer, time will be a blessing for dgb.

 

[hawkinoz]

For DGB watchers, there is vision of him in this injury report for some 10 seconds from the 26 second mark

Interesting to see if he plays in forward or backhalf for BH. I'm quietly excited about him coming back, I think he has serious potential

Potentially, has some of the tools but i think he just needs to be given one end and told to make a spot his own. I still think his future is as a defender but whatever they choose i hope he stays in that position until the end of the season and hopefully beyond.

Does anyone have any info about how DGB played today? Scrimshaw getting suspended might give him an opportunity.

Just read a report and it wasn’t encouraging.

 

[SSSSSS]

Just happy to get him through 4 quarters of footy.

Needs time to build fitness and find some touch before we assess where he is at.

 

[Slainte]

Seven touches (two kicks, five handpasses, one mark). Minimal impact - failed to impress at either end. No prospect of travelling to Adelaide.

Phillips is well ahead of DGB at this stage & should be the more likely you would think, with Scrim out.

DGB looked like someone coming from a long lay off. Needs to get some time into him before you can make any calls or senior involvement.

Watched DGB live down at Wonthaggi today. Needs time to get the feel of a game. From what I saw.
Bodie Ryan looks a player.
Morrison in it a bit.
CJ needs another couple of games in the twos.
Ward got well in it. Not sure if he’ll get a call up though.
Wingard. Mmm. Zebras well and truly controlled the whole second half. Lots of listed players just weren’t near it. Very lucky to come away with the win.

He always looks like that

 

[eldorado]

Just glad to see him get some minutes...

No doubt given the injury and his limited ability to get any fitness, he is one who would need at least 4 - 6 VFL matches before we even think of bringing him in.

 

[rei154]

Thought his use was good- both kicks were very tidy.
Will take time to build into the fitness of it- people seem disappointed because CJ is coming off an injury and performed exceptionally well and comparing that to DGB's output.

Unfair comparison imo.

 

[The Chad and I]

Seven touches (two kicks, five handpasses, one mark). Minimal impact - failed to impress at either end. No prospect of travelling to Adelaide.

Sounds like peak-DGB to be honest.

 

[tommyk72]

Played about as well as Wingard. Neither should be in contention for a call up after a win like that.
