Daniel Bradshaw vs. his former team

[mcuzzy]

He has really stepped up to the plate to show the Lions what he is still capable of. 4 goals about 8 minutes into the 2nd quarter

Brown has 2 goals and Fevola is yet to kick one.

should be in the game day thread... but game is looking like it could be a real thumping. 2 weeks in a row for the lions.

Well then let's steer this thread so it stays on here!

Can anyone else think of great performances by a player in his first game against his old team ala (so far) tonight?

Brisbane- the team Melbourne thrashed - and then got comfortably beaten by North
Context.

Bradshaw's really sticking it to them

Was it really worth getting Fev when they already had Bradshaw..? Bradshaw is only 1 or 2 years older but they have a pretty similar output- Fev probably has around 20 goals more than Bradshaw in him in a season but Bradshaw/Brown combo is pretty similar to a Fev/Brown combo. IMO having to cough up a talented young prospect in Henderson and a first rounder wasn't worth it when there isn't really that much improvement.

Bradshaw - Coleman certainty.

Good to see. He deserves some success after Vossy screwed him over. Poetic justice that he should be the difference between the two teams tonight.

Bradshaw is a LEGEND. Lions were fools to let him go, but who am I to complain.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Bradshaw you epic bastard. He had no right to kick that goal, but we loved it!! (He seemed to like it, too)

 

[Adz]

Voss left with egg on his face again.

he also draws a salary more than double what Bradshaw does, thus meaning loyal servants like Power and Black are probably on $200k less than Fev and it makes it harder to retain young talent on the fringe of selection.

Look for one of the 3 lions ruckmen to land at the GC next year

What a gun!

Just the type of player we needed too. Hall was shit in one on one, body on body marking contests. Bradshaw >>>>>>>>> Fev >>>>>>>> Hall.

Are you undermining how good Hall really was between 02-06? Guess he faded towards the end. But it looks like we're real winners out of the trade so far. Bradshaw has been a real good aquisition so far. Just need Jesse White to start firing and it will be a real headache for opposition match ups.

That's the thing, he's already a headache for the opposition because he's another big body when they already need to try and cover Goodes and Bradshaw. We saw what White is capable of when he was the main target last year, he doesn't need to do that just yet.

Spot on, draws another defender. I guess if he gets taken lightly he is capable.

I just hope Seaby isn't out for long, it could unsettle things just a little if he has to play in the ruck.

Bradshaw= 6 goals
Fev= 4 goals

excellent trade vossy

Well done to Bradshaw, certainly would'nt be silly to suggest he's a strong coleman chance... Buddy missed a few + out of formish+ shit team, Hall inconsistent, Fev has Brown to take his deliveries + not as good as last year, Roughead has absolutely no confidence....Bradshaw in a good team, starting to find some good form and fitness.

Your judging the entire trade on tonights individual performances?!

 

[campbell]

Nice to see braddy playing well, he could have missed a few tonight though...

didnt take long for the upload., what a goal from a non mark

We were pretty bloody average from 07-09. Can't really fault Hall for his performances, although you can definitely be critical of his attitude and 'explosions'.

Bradshaw is a different player and it's definitely the direction Sydney wanted to go. I think he is far better role model for someone like Jesse White as opposed to Hall. Hes much more positive on the field, reads the play extremely well, is pretty quick and is a damn good forward. I've always admired the guy and was pretty shocked the way the Lions treated him.

 

[lionsrules]

Merret will carve him up in rd22. But he did play very well tonight.

 

[Dangas]

MalFan, Hall served us well, was and still is a great player
