Breust putting self above team?

[Scotty_WCE]

Having watched the prematch segment with the interview of Breust, and then first his non-attempt with a Roo behind him and then passing the ball when in the pocket to no-one really, it strikes me that he is more worried about the "most consecutive goals without a behind" record than what's best for the team. You'd think that wouldn't happen these days but I reckon it's definitely playing on his mind. Thoughts?

Normally when a guy passes when a shot is on he is labelled the opposite.

Quality thread...

But to the opposition with no real options?

Im not arguing with you chief.

You're wrong.

 

[Badesumofu]

If a player doesn't think he can get the shot, then he should look to pass it.

 

[master bate]

Surely anyone who's ever played footy would think you just wouldn't do this. You just wouldn't think about such a trivial record. I doubt Breust is.

 

[calaisking]

If he had already missed a shot this year, 100% he would've taken that.

He clearly passed that off to keep the record going

 

[Scotty_WCE]

Did you hear the way he was speaking about it pre-match? Said things like "don't want it to end with a shocker" and "want to keep it going", just seemed to really be talking it up.

People clearly don't know Breust, there's a reason he leads the goal assist every year.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Surely not. I wish he was, of course. It would almost make it worth having to endure the commentators crapping on about it.

On the scale of shameless, hilarious attempts to preserve/achieve a milestone that no-one cares about, it would be up there with Ricky Davis shooting a ball against his own backboard uncontested, to get his 10th rebound and a triple double. But, I don't think he is.

Luke "All About Me" Bruest.

 

[FrancisX]

Oh so I wasn't the only one who thought that was possible after he declined to kick for goal.

Usually passing the ball is considered 'team-play'... In any case don't know this thread will last long.

 

[iDon]

I want to see more players passing the ball from 35m out tight on the boundary.

Go breust.

Closed.
