List Mgmt. Welcome Tyler Brockman (Traded for Picks 44 and 63 in 2023)

[ToastieBoy18]

Really excited to see what Tyler can do in our forward half.

A few have stated that his stats don't jump off the page, but playing in a struggling Hawthorn's forward line, hasn't been easy, coupled with injuries.

Our forward mix looks to have a lot of talent and if we can get the right balance, will be really tough to match up on.

Oscar and Jack as your true stay at home forwards

Bailey as the Forward/Ruck

Maric and Waterman as more mobile 3rd tall types

Long and Cripps as your pressure, workmanlike forwards who link up across half forward

Brockman and Ryan as your genuine X-factor match winners.

Interview with Tyler on SEN this morning

Nothing really we didn’t already know other than he’s already going into the club 3 days a week - Jones and Kelly also going in by the sounds of it

Said Ryan was in there yesterday as well and was going ok without elaboration

He’s very quietly spoken

 

[WCE_Phill]

Interesting, wants to build his tank with an eye on the midfield - good to see.

Unfortunately he'll need to wait for a new coach while Gaff and Sheed plod there way around

I`m glad he stayed loyal to his commitment to transfer to WCE after Freo came hard to persuade him to sign with them when Schultz moved on ..

 

[GinniAndTonic]

How is young Tyler tracking?

How is young Tyler tracking?

Really well

Seems to be playing as a high half forward pushing up into the midfield.

His field kicking has been a highlight for me

With Ryan missing the first few rounds, Brockman would be a near certainty for R1. He’d probably be playing R1 even if Ryan was fit

 

[BeornJ]

Brockman also got a lot of praise for his performance in the match sim on Friday. Apparently was in the top 3 or 4 players.

Bodes well.

 

[THE A5]

He has talent and while I wasn’t overly excited we got him, he is still 21 and with his skill set if things click he will be a massive asset to the team. We are actually due for trade table steal like we did with a Crippa or Yeo

Sounds like DUI leading to a crash.

Fortunately nobody injured

But not a good development

 

[FKASC]

Sick trade

 

[kerrazy]

Has been a net loss thus far and not looking good now. Wonder if he was close to the person who died?

Yeah, that's what I think, Up there for a funeral so most likely isn't in the best headspace right now. Give him a little bit of time and regularly check in on how he's going I guess.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Once again, Hawthorn tried to include Brockman in a trade for Pick 1. Derp.

 

[Kapowie1]

Hope he is ok. Glad no one is hurt

Was his grandfather

Trying to hold off on any judgement until facts are shared. But I do hold concern that grieving people don't always make the best decisions.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If he has a crash Saturday morning and like I heard at the WAFL he was meant to play but didn't turn up then it's fair to say he never told the club about the car accident

Definitely will get a club punishment of some sort for going AWOL

Pick 44 was like pick 60 after all the bids and it was Dear who was father/son wasnt it for Hawks. Theyd feel happy about that

It dropped down to 53 by the looks

 

[MeltMan]

My first thought with single car crash, was not DUI. Regardless, both my first thought and a DUI need the clubs support.
Maybe i read to many crime novels.

Still after Zane was taken if i remember right so nothing was lost by us really

This seems like a situation that requires a bit more compassion than sanction.

There was probably levels of fear and shame about the situation, and that's before you consider his being new to the club and cultural factors.

The most important thing is that nobody was hurt. I hope the club supports Tyler's well-being and helps him through this, and then learn from it also.

Could also have fallen asleep at the wheel for a second I guess
