Bradley for Pick 40

[Wizard]

Being suggested in the age today. If this is a possibility i hope Harvs jumps at it. In this draft thats nothing.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

We would want much more than 40........

****....bradley is a crab

Kepler Bradley, from what I have seen, is a fumbling, bumbling waste of space.

We have had better from pick 40 in the draft before. I don't care if it's a weak draft. There are always surprises.

While Harvey was spot on in getting Solomon across, I think we need to be careful of becoming a home for Essendon's rejects.

Agree, even if we only have to use pick 40 I'd rather we passed on Bradley. Can't even see where we'd use him, can't play in defence and he would be behind murph/campbell to get a game up forward.

Also, aren't Hadrill, Browne, Webster possibly in line for delisting as we don't have room for them all. Would rather we gave one of them a lifeline before bringing in Bradley.

I'm sure the Cardies will be happy if we pick him up. Get a good WAFL player for a couple of seasons and won't have to pay him a cent.

 

[Sailor]

Warnock came to us as pick 42. I believe he will be a champion.
Bradley most certainly will not.
Bradley is more like a Campbell without the mongrel.
Pick a young kid who wants to play.

 

[freocuz]

We may well not use pick 40 anyway. Currently we have 7, 24 & 40 as our first 3 I think. If we trade out a player for a pick in the 20's or 30's, chances are we won't use 40 as it looks like we will only use 3 picks.

While KP might struggle to get a game, he might be a handy backup, particularly if he is effectively free.

Lets not crucify the guy. Bradley has been played out of position in Essendon. Kind of like Solmon playing FF for the the Bombers. In the VFL Bradley was playing great footy and won the best and fairest award there. At pick 40 Bradley is a bargain in a weak draft.

 

[pistol17]

If Harvey wants him here then Bradley must have something to offer Fremantle. I couldnt see Mark Harvey recruiting anyone that didnt fit into 'his plans'.

Pick 40 is cheap anyway.

 

[Jiblett]

I know I've said this before, but... youth, pace, mid-fielders, youth, pace mid-fielders, youth, pace, midfielders.
Do I sound like a broken record??

 

[ImperialPurple]

Pick 40 isn't cheap for a bloke who can't play. We have picks 7, 24, 40 and 56. I'd rather keep pick 40 than have to use pick 56 as one of our compulsory picks.

No but obviously the message to the FFC ain't getting thru if the footy dept are considering bradley, M.Jonson etc

What is best position?

Winger, HFF, CHF...?

 

[Ripper]

I would rather use pick 40 on Harry Taylor.

I agree. Would be a good pick up in this draft. Hope the club is looking at him for a late pick.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

I would rather we use pick 40 on GentlemanJeff. It'll take years to turn Bradley back into the running CHF/Ruckman that made him appealing in the first place.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Hmm I don't get it with this hatred of Bradley. Sure he can't play defence, but you dont win a Larke medal by not being able to play.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I'm with you Rip.

Whether he can play or not is debatable as he did win the Best and Fairest at the Bendigo Bombers. He played 15 games for them this season and was their leading goal kicker. I dont think he is a backman but more of a half forward flanker leading up to the wing. He has something to offer at 199cm and 100kg, even as a backup ruckman if Warnock or Sandilands go down. and he is only 22.

Cheap might not have been the right word but pick 40 is about right.

Quick, buy this man a cigar

And we have a winner. Pick him up if we can get him for #40. If nothing else he is another back up ruckman. Send Murph down back and play him forward.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Just look at previous shallow drafts and 3rd round picks... you'll barely find any gems there. Our last one in a shallow draft was Greg Edgcumbe in 2002 (2003 was Peake due to F/s, 2004 no pick, 2005 wasn't shallow and it was Warnock)

Yep totally agree .

Cant we just get Harry Taylor with our next available pick after 40?

Harry has been talked to by WCE, Brisbane and Port...he won't last much longer than that
