AFL Player 24: Nick Bryan

[Lore]

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

 

[Howard Moon]

Ruckman who sits behind play; Gawn has been extremely effective doing that.

McEvoy did it to great success a couple of years back

Ryder started there too.

McEvoy did it to great success a couple of years back

Also did it during his stkilda days

Difference being those guys are elite level marks, which as far as I know is really one of the big knocks on Bryan so far. At the ground on Saturday I saw enough to suggest Bryan could develop forward craft

IT didn't work - Bryan is a fair way off being an AFL standard player, while Draper who has limited forward craft, took three quarters to exert his influence on the game - It's not a long term option moving forward.

Hahaha, what? You did watch the game last week didn’t you?

Still only 20, would love to see him as our #1 ruck if the unthinkable happens and Draper goes down for multiple weeks. Then we'll see his potential. The spits and spurts doesn't seem to suit Nick.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Improved once again tonight against a tandem Soldo/Nank combo who are no slouches. Very promising signs for his future.

 

[Bjchan13]

This guy can seriously play

 

[Petrify]

He was better than Draper tonight.

 

[foj1]

Our best ruckman at present

Could be a blessing in disguise the AFL gave Brisbane all the time they needed (over the allotted amount) to get the picks for Coleman to match our bid.

My favourite thing about Bryan is his disposal. By ruckman standards he's got very nice disposal. He's not Cyril Rioli out there but he's pretty reliable by foot or by hand over short distances and just seems to be a tidy user.

Very raw. Pissed right off when “nank “ got in the get around him moment for his goal. ****ing w***er.

His tidy disposal is very noticeable for a big man. He also seems to choose the right option very quickly and naturally. Doesn't look rushed. Hopefully it continues

A natural footballer who happens to be a 203cm athlete.

 

[MiguelM]

Miles ahead of Draper.

When he debuted you just saw a natural footballer that needs to develop physically.

Draper more the athleticism and mongrel.

In 2 years time you would hope that they are both pillars of our starting 22.

A non Bryan related dropping unfortunately. Showing plenty, the fit is just so far from ideal at this stage. We’re so devoid of run I don’t think we can feasibly carry the extra tall.

I’m actually happy for him to go back to the VFL and work on not only his ruck craft but also his forward craft as well, will be beneficial long term. We just have to communicate that to him clearly.

Can’t believe he is out. Would give us much more than Francis or Ham.

I don't think anyone would have questioned the decision to drop Draper and play Bryan first to be honest.

Sammy is just an idea at the moment who happens to be at the front of the queue.

We suck

We suck

Martin is rather cooked. wouldn't it be English/Sweet

Apart from the fact that Draper is miles ahead in his development.

We hold him to a higher standard than we do Bryan, that’s the difference.
