Hhhmmm... if Jessie is average with us, what would he be at Adelaide...
Sorry, I still don't get it. If it's a reference to the Wizard of Oz, I've never seen it. Not into old Hollywood stuff.

The scarecrow needed a brain. In the end don't they find out they don't need all that stuff ? so maybe he doesn't need a brain, just a new role or coach to guide him.

I think there is movie with James Franco and Mila Kunis dedicated to the wizard being a fraud.Are you calling the Wizard a fraud?

Yeah, he's a ball hunter that needs to be around the action more.They should move him up to the midfield. Unfortunately the coach is as predictable and wooden in his coaching as he is in personality.
I agree with this. I think the kid needs to be coached. He needs to be told if theres no option do this...... Every time. A good coaching system has a default get out of jail play set up. At the moment looks like they just make decisions on the fly. Also think they could swap him to half forward. He's great 1 on 1 and his mistakes wouldn't hurt as much up the field. Also would be within range inside 60.Shows passion, pride and care. I wish a few more of his beige teammates would do likewise actually. It annoyed me to see a youngster like Maynard being the only one flying the flag then.
He makes mistakes but because he gives his all he'll sometimes do things that others wont be able to through sheer effort. Brayden's the type of kid we should be getting the games into for mine. I'd rather see a hard nut who takes it on but makes the odd blue in the side ahead of a timid snowflake who takes the soft option every time.
To misquote pablo disco bar, just keep playing him.
Yes does make a lot mistakes and most end up in goals we can't have a player continually gifting goals to the opposition don't think the backline is his position we need to explore what options he offers.Makes mistakes but how else do you learn, has some nice attributes and is still so young, another season and he will be fine.
Keep pumping games into him as we have nothing to lose now this year.
I'd bring in a few other young blokes as well now.
so Aish is the tin man and Smith is the lion, ok.The Tin Man needed a heart
The Lion needed courage
The Scarecrow........
