Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Tyler Brockman!

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Slysh]

Fell in love with his game on Draft night and have been nothing but impressed with him since.

Great character to go with the talent and ability.

Chad, Breust and Brockman roaming around the forward half is going to be very threatening if we can give them enough opportunity.

Does he have any capacity to roll through the middle for a few contests a quarter?

At a guess, he'd lack size/body strength for now, but that's an assumption.

Crazy not to try it if we're in front & it's not likely to start an avalanche against us

Played midfield in the first WA all star game and collected 26 possessions and was one of the best on ground, wouldn't be surprised if that game alone put him into real draft contention. Besides that was predominantly played fwd for subiaco colts. I think back half of the year he really lifted his training standards and intensity and it showed in his performances.

Maybe not this year, but in the next couple of years you would reckon that would be the case.

he's a midfield/forward so he has the ability to, just depends where they play him.

Steal of the draft? Let’s see. Go Brocky !!

Hows the cool slot from near the boundary

Zen.
Knew exactly what he wanted to do and just did it.
Total ball control.

This guy is going to be something special.

 

[MrPremiership]

2 quality goals on debut, strong hands on that first one.

Looking a good player

 

[HairyO]

Could not have asked for more from a small forward. Fantastic 1st game. Just brilliant.

 

[Dragz]

Having just watched the replay, thought he turned on being focused at exactly the right moments and has that great ability to dial it down Just enough when having shots at goal .

Here’s a lad who knows his own game very well, knows his abilities and is confident in them and I suspect has that internal swagger of “I belong at this level”

How do we grab this guy at pick 46 with the X factor he has?

Cause the eagles tried hiding him

Yep this. genius move to trade back and get a pick before them.

 

[Hawks1994]

The contested mark for his first goal was exceptional for a small forward. Will be an exciting watch this year that's for sure

 

[cryptor]

2 goals and his hounding of Bombers players were integral to the 2nd half fight back. Awesome debut.

Yeah it was a very strong grab. Tyler had a player on his tail and also another opponent coming across in front of him, but kept his eyes on the ball and took it strongly. Will be a very difficult match up.

 

[Brishawk]

He is very exciting. Has a lot to work on but what he offers right now is exactly what we need.

 

[WWSD]

9 disposals and 2 goals. There used to be a past player who had a very similar career average. Just saying.
