...Who the * cares about premierships atm? We're in year one of what will probably be a three to five year rebuild. Plus we literally just re-signed Ham for another year like three or four weeks ago.Is utterly hopeless in one on ones, is one sided, and will never be a premiership player. Needs to be moved on.

Im so confusedIs good over head, has a penetrating kick, runs all day and gets involved. He has a future, hopefully a long one playing a wing.
Same deal as usual. Ham is pretty good with ball in hand and a great runner, but is a liability physically. He'd be good if we're playing Touch Footy but I don't think he'll ever have an AFL level rig.
Some of the tackles he attempted to lay today were broken and shrugged off with an unbelievable level of ease.
22 should be reasonably developed and he looks years off of it, if it ever happens.The kid has literally just turned 22. I look at a player like Isaac Smith and how late he came on. Im not saying Brayden will get to his level but I think he is definitly worth persisting with. He may not get to your perceived ideal size but Im sure tackling is a skill that can be practised and improved on. It takes a lot of different type of payers and Brayen plays a wing. i.e. lots of running and at pace.

He absolutely has the skills to be a good player but footy is nearly as much physical as it is skill. Think of how many elite basketballers out there never made it because they were <6 ft.
To say he'll never have an AFL rig, isn't right I don't believe. He has already put on more size than Gleeson in half the amount of time.Same deal as usual.

At the moment not many. If we had a full list to pick from then one of the midfield rotations would take his spot. Shiel / McGrath / Merritt at various stages. Perkins playing further up the ground as he progresses . I think Guelfi could do just as much in the half forward role but the flip side of that is he does not have the running ability Ham has.Who else takes his spot? The fact is that there's a number of gaps in the list in terms of quality that will take several years to address through the draft and complaining about players now isn't going to do anything.
Jeez, this is a very harsh assessment. A healthy Kobe Mutch? He's quicker and a far better kick. Finds more of the ball tooDepth and nothing more, he may be a running machine but he isn't blazing quick which would make up for his other shortcomings.
Does he have a single highlight in his career?
A young player needs to show something that makes you go gee this kid could be something but so far is his just a healthy Kobe Mutch.

Agree. He is not terrible but there is nothing special about it.Ham’s kicking is so over stated on here.
