AFL Player #24: Nick Bryan

Contract Status: Out of contract 2025
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 16, ant555

All of them got a fair bit of hype.

Well I’m pretty sure most of them barely played. So if it’s just post draft hype, that’s not really the same thing.

Educated football watchers rate Bryan and Jones after watching them at AFL level.

Ashby, Van Unen, Gleeson, Kommer and Gregory. I don’t remember being excited.

Pretty sure Van Unen copped the "who the * is" treatment and Gleeson was barely a sprout. Gregory had a little "next Fletch for a steal" buzz.

DVU was a guy that wasn't actually that good at VFL level yet got drafted anyway.

^^^
Hence I’m pretty sure there was very little buzz around our 2012 draft haul sans Joe.

 

[Zach Package]

Given the entire GWS team came out with the express intention of elbowing everyone in the face I’m glad he didn’t play.

 

[Vindicater]

Will get plenty of time this year.

Bryan and Draper rotating forward will be massive.

Most impressive thing is his ability to get involved.

11, 13, 12 (AFL) and 21 are his stats this year.

He is t a kick behind play ruck either, he runs and spreads to get his hands on it.

Remember, he’s only 19

Going way too early here but I think he has a higher ceiling than Draper due to being a natural footballer.

Draper is a brute around the ball and ruck but he is probably the worst kick on the team by a large margin.

Snelling is usually a good kick, minus Sunday

Other than when he panics (a lot). Almost went Shiel but thought Snelling deserved it for Sunday's effort.

Draper and Bryan can only learn by watching 2MP and Phillips. Both playing their arses off for both Club and careers.
People should not underestimate the value these two have been for us so far.

He said worst, not best.

42 hit outs did the other team even have a ruckman?

Nick Bryan
Stats: 14 disposals, 42 hitouts, two marks

“Good game from Nick - 42 hitouts is a really good effort. He was in a lot of aerial contests which is something he's working on, trying to get to as many contests as he can. He marked the ball and his hitouts to advantage really set us up throughout the day."

Yeah they did and their ruckman was like twice the size of Bryan.

Could we play him up against Goldy this week or are we set with the Flip/Wright combo until Draper comes back?!

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I really want him to play seniors.

Yeah, Jeremy Goddard. One of the better rucks he'd face in the VFL.

 

[DERO]

Very close to senior selection.

 

[Mercurial89]

Very close to senior selection.

I'd bring him in for Tigers. Let Nank and Draper go at it and when they bring in their relief ruck we bring in Bryan.

I'd trial him and Wright in the same forward line and really put pressure on them in the air while Draper is in the middle and then when he needs a rest go a bit smaller.

Who said we wouldn't be able to keep him with a 2 year deal again?
