Chris Bryan

[thylacine60]

Came in during the last quarter to see him stuff up a forward line pass. How has he gone for the match - did he get much game time?

 

[HBF]

Have only seen the game after half time, and he really hasn't done much. He just looks disinterested at times.

 

[GPW1]

the trigger fingers been getting a fair workout tonight flicking between the two games of footy and the basketball. what i have seen of the coll/nth game, he hasnt done much at all.

i bet about this time tomorrow night theres a mirror thread of this regarding cam cloke on the pie board

And hopefully they will be spewing they got dudded on the deal.

 

[Jeremias]

I'm still not worried or upset that we lost him for nothing.

Looks seriously disinterested.

 

[GPW1]

we may just find out next time the bullants play williamstown.

 

[BlueWorld]

They're stuck with him for 2 years.

 

[thylacine60]

Sounds like we're ahead on points without CC kicking a ball in anger - and that's what I want to see, a bit of agro!

I'm so hanging out for tomorrow night I think I'll sleep in my car.

Err......you do that then!

 

[Mentallo]

Agree with others looked totally disinterseted.
But one preseason game into the season is far to early to pass judgement.
That said i doubt we will be singing out for his services back at the Blues at any stage during 2007.

No Guy was disintrested, Bryan had a crack and by the end of the game was working some nice combinations out of the middle. He's bash and crash and is prepared to jump into the opposition ruck which is what we need. I hope big Cain plays a blinder or you might be hoist with your own petard.

Tragic ain't it? I'm starting to sound like AWG.

Looks like the same old Bryan to me - not great at centre bounces, and doing occasional good things, but mostly not focussed and putting in half-efforts. Richards is terrible though. BTW I just couldn't believe the lack of quality and talent ammoung the Pies younger players. Apart from Pendlebury, they looked pretty ordinary. Everytime I see Thomas play, I'm reminded why his selection in the top-10 was a surprise. T Cloke was OK. The Roos younger players were a class above. The Pies badly lack talent and class in their younger player group.

How dare you bring that common sense in here!

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Im not upset he's gone - he really didnt contribute anything to our list while he was around.

Too slow for KP
Too short for Ruck

Twos years on our list and one preseason game with Collingwood is more than enough time for us to pass judgement however.

He only looks disinterested because he's a lumbering log. More mentally than physically. Pity, because he's got some talent - but there's a Lada brain in that SSV Commodore body. It's good enough to deal with the pace of VFL (most of the time), but sub-AFL.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

^^^ AD that's funny. "Lumbering log."

I'm pretty glad we got Cloke instead of keeping Bryan. Cloke at least sounds switched on and determined by all training reports, whereas in the game last night, Bryan really didn't show too much. I dont care, he's not with us anymore, goodluck to him, and more importantly goodluck to our new boys.

 

[marcmurphy3]

11 possesions
4-5 marks
10 hitouts

^^^ HBF that's funny. "Lumbering log."

Now I think about it - it's probably a tautology.

 

[Blue_4_Life]

I think the difference will be that whilst Bryan played as an out and out ruck, Cloke offers a little more flexibilty in that he'll play a slightly different role for us as an occasional KPP.

Time will tell.

He also has this habit where he takes too long and his kicks keep getting smothered.I saw it happen last night again

even then his kicks arent accurate - and are just picked off by the opposition.

Another play that I will be keeping a close eye on tonight. Cloke has done everything right during the pre-season, and I really think he could be a great pickup for us this year.

 

[Rhys87]

you really have to be at the game to see what Bryan does wrong.... he didn't run hard, long enough or to the right spots.
