Player Watch #10: Angus Brayshaw – retired due to concussion (22/02). Thanks for everything, Gus.

[Scythe94]

Sigh. I feel like it goes without saying, but if you're an opposition (Collingwood) fan looking to come over and get into a fight about Maynard's bump/tribunal case (again), go elsewhere.

No more warnings, cards will be handed out. Please read the room.

Disposal may let him down sometimes but geeez the kid had 27 and kicked 2 goals yesterday.

Hardly spud watch time

You need to stop strawmanning every time someone criticises a player. Everyone is stoked Gus is back fit and playing fairly well but his kicking is a serious problem atm.

I just think some of the criticism is way, way over the top.

Examples please

If he turns the ball over in the middle of the ground one more ******* time i'll ask for him to be dropped.

Wasn't his disposal efficiency one of his strengths when he got drafted? I'm glad he's finding the footy, but he's fast turning into another Dom Tyson with his turnovers..

He just seems to be so lazy and complacent.

 

[Topkent]

All fairly justified

 

[blitznu]

Brayshaw 5.7 turnovers a game from 26 at 68%
Petracca 4.6 from 20 a game at 67%
Tyson 4.4 from 20 at 72%
not having a go at him reckon he'll only get better but is the highest ave turnovers of anybody who played on the weekend obviously gets more ball than most.
Thought it could be a fatigue thing could still be but besides Tyson(85minutes) Brayshaw played the least amount of time 92 minutes. Surprisingly Salem played equal 2nd (JSmith) TOG 110minutes (OMac 1st 125minutes)

Please oh god let us give this guy many dollars to sign a deal with him. His clearances are just high quality, very rarely a hack kick out. Has a surprising burst out of the pack.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Having Gus overcome his injuries is like having a brand new number 1 pick just slot in and hit the ground running. Absolute gun.

 

[rhaz]

His field kicking / decision making needs work but otherwise is becoming a fine player

 

[00Stinger]

All fairly justified

still think he is no good?

You were on the bandwagon on bagging him too

I bagged his kicking which is still pretty average. Is doing everything else right though.

 

[degustation]

Has gone from being a chance to never play again to one of the better midfielders going around when on song. Still only in his fourth year - if he keeps this form up he'll be an AA chance next season

The comment you qouted was in regards to his kicking which he can hack it at times. If you actually have something to contribute I'd like to read it.

I have no doubt he’ll re-sign with the Dees, just a matter of time. No inside info or anything but I’m certainly not worried.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Kangaroos surely have him somewhere on their list of guys to offer double/triple pay to.

 

[Djcjdees]

Yeah

Yeah I think it'd be a surprise for him not to sign. His management have certainly done the right thing by waiting though..

"How could you leave this team?" he said with a wide grin.

"I love all my teammates and I love the place, so hopefully (my new contract) gets sorted sooner rather than later."

Doesn't sound like he's in any danger of leaving.

Bradshaw v De Goey?

 

[CWaffles]

Bradshaw v De Goey?

? 2 different players, De Goey pretty much plays forward and Brayshaw as a winger or mid.

De goey is a better forward and Brayshaw is a better mid.

Fantastic player. All and any criticism completely unjustified. Anyone feeling the urge to criticize should take their negativity to the Jesse Hogan thread.
