He’s scared. If given the time he will convince himself to commit but if it happens quickly he pulls out.

probably not but im not im not qualified to answer that, would be offering him 2 mil over 4 and advising his manager there wont be much wriggle room.
my biggest beef with his critics is how easily replaceable he will be, they say....elite runner, excellent mark one on one with similar size n shape, 50m both feet no prob, reliable set shot, showing leadership finally, good link player, disiplines, durable body never gets injured, good run with player whos towelled up brayshaw in his last assignment
makes dusty and prestia better players by always keeping tabs on their opponenents while they go for the big plays coz thats what the do, etc etc etc, brandon was considered top 3 of his draft year but was soon downgraded to one trick sissy boy/panic merchant by the masses..... but dimma made him go back to basics and made hlm get his hands dirty and 2018 wasnt great but deep down dimma kept the faith and made him keep working harder and even more defensively oriented when most were screaming wing or bust.
2019 version now seems a much more rounded version of a wingman whos got the trust of his team with or without the ball. complete B+ package for mine.
Yeah that was it.

I see it the same way so this is what I will do if a poster calls me a Hater. I will copy your post and continue to post it until it starts to make sense to these Lovers.
yep dave game him a massive spay NOT for brandos effort or committment but he broke team rules, good one flea, dave screamed at him I GO UP, YOU FAR KEN STAY DOWN or similar words.
This is not to say when its his turn he doesn't go, but I think he just get confused when he should go.

Hardwick once loved Conca , Lids, Lloyd, CEllis and by gosh Tyrone was his pet. The childish notion that the coach loves a player is total rubbish as a coach generally loves every player on their list. Why would he suggest otherwise. You can pull an interview with Dimma where he’s asked about a player and he will speak highly of him in public. He would look like a fool if he didn’t.
exactly...... that fyfe one was with 2 minutes to go when we were 37 odd points up and ellis had clocked up 92 minutes game time so a bit of confusion and tiredness no doubt plus it was fyfe magic that made it look worst.
your having a guess and then stating your opinion as fact. i disagree completely
I've defended Ellis for years, always thought he could recapture some form and come good. I've liked his game in recent weeks, I reckon he has been pretty important.

Seriously mate you’ve missed the point as i can only recall KDH praising players especially in interviews and even after dropping them.
I’ll simplify it for you now. Do you reckon KDH loves Higgins Bolton KMac or whoever lesser than Brando? Lol what a load of horse s**t.
Prove me wrong. As I said he once publicly adored all those names mentioned so your comment was pointless.
It was just as bad as the childish comments you used to read on here that the boys loved Reece. They’re a team and tightly knit unit so they all love one another . These comments are just frivolous and childish to me as they’re self explanatory and expected in majority of teams. Wank wank say no more.

Please make a list on what you would pay our players - I would really love to see your valuations taking into consideration the known contracts
Im sure you must believe our salary cap is around $18 million
i get your point but let brando know what we think is fair and reasonable and let him and his manager decide. got a feeling a few WA clubs will come knockin on a few doors tryin to create a bit of homesickness with fistfuls of cash.
That kind of works the other way round with Free Agency matter
Manager : Hy Blair we have an offer thats pretty good
BH: What the range
Manager : $650k x 5
BH : Thats about double what we can pay with where we are at
Manager: Cool well lets see if Brando accepts $300k less but most likely not
BH: Wish him all the best at Norff and tell him he is always welcome after he retires for the reunion

I agree with alot of that.
Brando is in the top 3% out of everyone who plays footy in the country, he’s not a promising player he’s a great player.
He’s also a great example of getting the best out of yourself and resilience. He isn’t the type of player that will have two moments of brilliant natural talent to help get by after an average game, he’s an effort based guy and he’s having a better year and staying ahead of the kids.
I respect the way he’s made his career and still is, I guess we’ll see what happens.

Yep, good comments. The challenge is though, the better his season, the more open he becomes to offers we can't match, even if the Club wants to. If a another Club had to genuinely trade for him, we'd probably get to keep him, but Free Agency changes all that. If Clubs were capless, then no problems!
That is ridiculous money. You realise he was dropped last year and again this year. You would only want to give that money to a very good footballer, not one who has some flaws, flaws that the match committee see not us posters here. I see the good and the not so good with Brando, right now he deserves his spot. No way you can guarantee that over the next 4 years.
Look at 5:05 on the Richmond v Freo highlights, amateur attempt to spoil. Vlaustin or any seasoned backman, even Stack would have turned around and marked or attempted to mark that ball. Ellis went half hearted and coughed up a goal. This is why people criticise Ellis, all the hard work gets undone so easily.

Tough, but in what is a footballing business, FAIR! The only way I see that money offered is if the majority of his games to season's end are like that on the weekend. Recent history (2 years) doesn't support that atm. The irony lost on some is if he does maintain this form we might even be refusing to match higher RFA offers.
calm down lol, i dont want to argue with you. the guy is a whipping boy, we all know that, he gets potted as soon as we lose, when he plays well its great as it up his value. my main point still stands
cbf, maybe later lol
the guy had a good game , give him a break haha

Plenty calm. Stop responding and being embittered by conversations that go beyond a few good games when you don't want to discuss it more broadly then. It's done! Buy the footy record and stay happy mate.

Seriously. Stop looking through rose coloured glasses. I realise he had a good game and that he has been a good player, but that effort was not good. Vlaustin takes them every match and makes it look easy, he was on his own virtually with some perceived pressure. No wonder you think he is hard done by.
