Broughton

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

And from that we can interpolate that Freo players are much fitter than the competition

Or players who are yet to participate in a full pre season.

Greg Broughton interview 882 6PR on Friday the 26th October.

Must say, I was surprised that he was told, apparently fairly clearly, that he wouldn't be considered best 22 and wouldn't get many opportunities. I figured that he would have been fighting amongst a few for spots, and may even been in and out, but to be considered comfortably outside the 22 as a starting point ... clearly Lyon had made the call and didn't quite see him as well as many of us (me included) did. CLearly can't be skills and hardness as an issue, something else about working in the system which didn't seem to work for ROTB and there you go.

With that in mind, I'm glad we pulled the trigger. He has currency, we undersold in the scheme of things, but not massively and he gets a new gig at a club in a nice part of the country, good luck to him and good luck for us with pick 37.

Pffffft Keplar would of killed that time ( true he would of tripped and rolled down the mountain)

and thus have to climb again such as many things he does on field, but that is one of the reasons we like him so much, it doesn't come easy to him and he keeps putting in

 

[Bender571]

Or players who are yet to participate in a full pre season.

I get your point but it's Gold Coast not GWS. They would have more players than us that have participated in a full pre season

If Broughton was in the draft I would not blink about using a pick in the early 20's on him. I am of the view that Ross is concerned that we lack pace across the ground. It's a bit like when Brad Hardie said you can't play both the Carrs, Hasleby and Bell in the one team.

Why don't you understand the love for Broughton?

Back in 2010 wasn't it you that quoted Broughton was a fine pick up as a rookie - now you're claiming it is not?

Plus are you qualified to judge whether this is love, admiration or just respect - plus I've checked your LinkedIn page and I'm not even sure you exist!

Something is not OK here - and I will not rest until I dominate this thread with repetitive accusations.

Good day Sir.

Still fired up I see.

Just unusual to see Moo so pissed off about something.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Just unusual to see Moo so pissed off about something.

Which should tell you something.

 

[E Shed]

Well I'm still pissed about letting Broughton go. Will dominate off half back for GC.
Don't understand it, don't get it. Finishing top 4 next year without him will lessen the pain.

 

[peppy la pew]

Not so unusual to see Pav blushing

 

[Nickos66]

He'll be getting 'Ablett-like' numbers of possessions off the back half in that team.

 

[Proud Bogan]

Which should tell you something.

Not really. I respectfully disagree with his POV.

And reckon that you are talking out of your freckle as usual.

Life goes on.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Yes, life goes on. I'm surprised you can decipher my freckle talk, given that I'm sitting on it most of the time.

What I was alluding to is that Moo's moral compass is a little better tuned than yours (and probably mine), possibly a result of the isolation.

But how about that Broughton guy? He's going to rip us a new one in round 6.

I'm actually quite impressed that Reggie has a talking freckle

Nah....WE WUZ ROBBED!!!!!!!

Bloody murder I tell you.

He was definitely worth a first rounder and I am inscensed, nay ENRAGED that Bondy sold us down the river again!!

HE WAS WORTH A FIRST ROUNDER, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MARKET WAS WILLING TO PAY!!

/yakka man childish, naive rant.

 

[Arcassius]

*gets out some popcorn*

when you make a campfire PB, do you use petrol or explosives to get it started?

 

[Freo Shark]

Boughton will be a loss. Nice player and the payback could be bad if we dont kill the pig with his pick.

I still reckon we sold him for some stale magic beans and there'll be no golden goose either.

Must be fishing season. You hoping for a bite?

 

[Nickos66]

Rest assured, he'll get one too.

 

[Arcassius]

Is fishing considered a spectator sport?

Probably just breathes on it.

 

[valkorum]

Is fishing considered a spectator sport?

In this particular instance - YES

 

[Freo Shark]

Time for popcorn I think.

 

[peppy la pew]

Probably just breathes on it.

Urban myth says he simply stares at it

I don't thimk it's a myth
