, and has some incredible eye-catching traits. He did predominantly play outside and his kicking can be inconsistent at times, but his athleticism across the board – speed, agility, endurance and vertical leap – would be close to the best in the draft crop. Furthermore, Ham has that ability to influence a contest without having to rack up huge numbers. He played in multiple areas and seemed to have the biggest impact playing at half-forward, but was also tasked with the kick-out duties as well.

 

[DapperJong]

Who are you talking to?

 

[Milanista28]

I rate this kid.

 

[Knox Harrington]

Brayden is an odd fellow. But he sure knows how to steam a good ham

 

[Runk]

Another Ham on our list? Kid needs sauce.

 

[eDPS]

Dodoro delivered the goods, happy to see how he plays with Devon

 

[Bombermania]

Considering how good the Geelong Falcons are at producing players just how does the second placed player in their BnF slide so far down the draft ladder?

Is his kicking something that is broken ala Clarke or is it something that can be refined?

Sounds like a hell of a lot of positives for someone taken so late. Do you think disposal is what caused him to go so late?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Can Brayden Ham it up in front of camera?

Hopefully.

More that he tries to much at times, technique is fine.

 

[eth-dog]

Small. Inside or outside?

 

[Beerfish]

Nice guns. Tick. Cool name. Tick.

 

[Sooper]

Finished the TAC season with the 5th most score involvements in the H&A season... FYI, Noah Gown was second on that list. Nice pick up.

 

[Howard Moon]

Ham, definite upgrade on devon.

 

[Kakkle]

Son of Will Hams.

 

[Zach Package]

There wouldn’t be a kid with the last name ‘boneless, skin on Chicken thighs’ available in the rookie draft would there?

 

[beaublazer]

Good late pick. The kid has wheels and knows where the goals are.

 

[Blind Turn]

Ham, definite upgrade on devon.

But next season a smoky draft pick called Fatty Spam will be an upgrade on them all. No doubt I’ll get canned for that tangent.

 

[naraku]

Runner-up in club B & F behind Walsh and we got him at 72. This could be bit of a steal here

Maybe recruiters think he has very limited upside?

Plenty of well performed younger guys miss out because they’re pretty much the finished product already.

Haven’t really seen nor heard anything about this guy to know!

He's 19 and still looks more underdeveloped than Walsh does, and he played 4 more TAC cup games. Lets not go gaga yet.

I'd be looking moreso at the fact that he polled more votes in the BnF than Brownless and Idun, who both got picked up mid draft and the fact that the Falcons have a good record for spotting blokes

?

Brownless went after Ham and Idun went at 61

 

[foj1]

strange pick for mine another undersized midfielder.
Brayden can run and carry with the footy though

 

[duckdog]

Dodoro delivered the goods, happy to see how he plays with Devon

Hopefully he plays for my old club .....one day... Long live Devon Football Club

 

[Ambrosia]

Attribute wise he sounds awesome just looks to have quite a small frame.
