Player Watch #33: Brayden 'Sausage' George - contracted until end 2026

[The Nostradamus]

George with 19 disposals at 84%, 9 marks and 6 tackles playing in a wing/hf.

Was very good

Promising signs

Hopefully a debut in the final round

 

[shintemaster]

Building nicely - deserves a game before the season is out. Perhaps Konstanty, Daniel or Banch can make way

Reckon there are 10+ that can make way. Looks to me that they have an eye on him as a real playmaker in the wing / centre rather than pegged as only a forward. Which given his assets: pace, aggression, booming accurate kick makes sense. We could definitely use a type like him coming in off the square rather than the one paced non chasing group we have now.

BTW from memory even at junior level he rarely pulled big disposal numbers so a massive, massive tick given how much he has missed. Has played only a handful of games at any senior level.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Probably the only positive of the weekend. He now seems to have built the match and general fitness to play up the ground and get involved more.

 

[Frank Thring]

Gees if he could play midfield, that would help us out with his frame and speed.

Get him in for Banch

he played wing today, went well apart from some disposal errors. Found lots of it while it was still dry

Remember when some rando had him as rising star? Never wanted to have egg on my face so much.

 

[JGreezy]

He has so much potential. He could be a wing who can rotate into the middle or push forward and play out of the goal square.

He was bombing it 60m off one step, right to the hot spot and putting the Cats defenders under the pump.

Your right, he’s a great kick

I was really impressed with his ability to get up and down the ground.

 

[Devil Fish]

He's "the best of the lot"

C: George O’Sullivan Hardeman

That is my dream centre line from our current crop.

It's no surprise when Hardeman came in we instantly looked better (still not great but better) exiting the D50, because he can hoof it over a zone. Maybe our F50 entries would look a bit better with someone like this kicking it from midfield?

Should George come into the Senior Line Up for his First Game this week Mr Greezeball? :stern look

 

[backtothedraft]

Like Hardeman, it can’t be undervalued his ability to cover defensive zones with his long, penetrative kicking. Looked great on the wing. Bring him in you cowards.

 

[Themanbun]

Let him build in the VFL.

VFL in/outs list Sausage as injured. Anyone got inside word?

Shoulder injury, should hopefully be just a week. Same injury as the one he did against the Hawks.

Happy it’s above the hips is all I can say. Hopefully no more knife action and just some physio and rehab over the Summer.

 

[Passmore]

Don't know how many here have seen this bloke up close at training, but the sound of ball off his boot is something else. Like a sweetly timed shot off the middle of the bat.

 

[THE_GUN]

I have been waiting to see this kid in my supercoach team for ever
what did he do ? How many mirrors did he break or ladders he walked under

Brayden George and our Josh Gibcus need to sacrifice something

[R00StaR]

George passing to Warlord is gonna take some getting used to.

 

[Retiredbattler]

Spoke to Braydo and he is seen the surgeon today to see the damage.

Fingers crossed it’s just a stinga and not to much damage.
