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

[Eaglemaniac]

Don't you dare sully Michael Bolton's name like that

How can we be lovers if we can’t be friends people?

The only acceptable Michael Bolton

Played like Michael Bolton? Sounds like a bad ass to me.

"This is the tale of Tony Montana!"

I think you might have nailed it.

If/when Brockman ends up in a prison sentence there are not lots of avenues to terminate his contract.
He is OOC this year and you would think any indiscretion bad enough/prison sentence would be enough for him to be delisted then.

He is not a generational talent or close to it so straight forward delisting 2026 IMO.
The very annoying part is he was coming into an age bracket/games played area and shown enough to be a decent AFL player.
His inconsistency is his biggest weakness, time to replace and move on.

His off field antics show that he isn't invested in the club, then the club shouldn't invest any more time on him.

Geelong did pick up Humphries a few picks after this though...not that I have faith we would have picked him and/or had success developing him

No chance of that. Geelong obviously saw something in him that nobody else did, so kudos to them for that. Prior to the draft he had just broke into the league team that year.

Ye, after the harassment, as per witness statements.

Wait, you’re allowed to bash someone if they harassed you? This is an interesting interpretation of criminal law.

Geelong have an arsey-record of picking up and developing players into gems late in the draft.

I did a recruitment breakdown the week we played Geelong last year. They have a ridiculously high conversion-rate of players drafted onto their rookie draft. I thought we used to use the rookie list well, but they had something like eight players in their 23 that game drafted from the rookie draft. Phenomenal.

Where are the so called witness statements and have they been released to the public.

Don't ask me. Never made a claim that there was. Think you are after bzparkes

Did Ryan bash someone?

I'm watching last year's St Kilda win and Brockman is playing brilliantly, involved in a lot of the play, laying heaps of tackles. It's a real shame he decided to get drunk and wander the streets fighting at 4am. Especially after the previous years car accident (IMO driving under the influence, otherwise why flee the scene?)

If he is somehow able to get his act together and pay his debt to society, I think a lot of people are sleeping on his talent. With some more consistency playing to his full potential he could be a real threat. And God knows we need speedy forwards in the team right now.

Nah, cut him.

He hasn't learnt from his first mistake.
He's not good enough to keep getting multiple chances.

Absolutely. Taking a spot that should have been for Charlie Banfield, hopefully we come to our senses before the MSD and not after.

Agreed. The list isn't at the stage where keeping the problem child and hoping he comes good is going to benefit.

Again still pushing this barrow?

Unless it's an LTI or retirement, cutting Brockman does not open up a MSD spot. The AFL closed that loophole which is why Tarryn Thomas didn't open up a spot for the Roos despite being sacked

Unless we convince Brockman to retire, we can't replace him

 

[Mighty Eagles]

A lot of our players are playing for their careers this year. They'll all be give ample opportunity. Here's hoping some of them make it.
