Toast Greg Broughton

[leungtl]

Congrats to our Gregory, who plays his 50th this week!

After seeing household names like "Thobias Thoolen", "Ross Tungatulum" and "Pass" go off the board, he was finally taken by us at #74 in the PSD and quickly became one of our best stoppers, an overnight DT sensation, a provider of quality balls and run out of half back, then gunning it in the midfield this year just for fun

...am I the only one who's shocked that he's only played 50? Could stick a 1 in front of that and I wouldn't have noticed at all. Gun!

LOL, yea what a story and what a steal by us.

Broughton is now a great member of our team - sensational as a back flanker (miss him there a bit I think), and proven worthy to play midfield too as I thought he would (given his WAFL background etc.). Congrats

Side note, was going to put a different post up on this, but he looked a touch lame on Friday night, and he certainly had a rare down game. Where there any reports? In any case, hopefully he'll be all good to go for his 50th.

Just as good a bargain as Barlow

He was carrying a cork to his thigh according to some media reports

Simple, uncomprimising game.

If only there were more like him.

Raise a glass to the quiet achiever.

Well done on racking up 50 Broughts!

While we are on milestones; Grover will play his 200th game in Purple next week. A huge milestone for the great man and we should get up against North for him.

Just get back in the guts this week Broughts FFS, my DT needs you

Seriously though, he has had a great year both as shut down defender and free running mid. Blues small fwds might mean he's needed in defence for another week.

our midfield depth is thin enough as it is.

 

[Stronzo]

Great pickup, he just gets the job done.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Yarr, just puts his head down and gets on with it - no complaints

One of an ever growing group bargain players we've picked up over the past couple seasons who have all surpassed all expectations

'grats Broughts

Grovers 200th vs the Roos as well

 

[Scatter]

As a proud buddy of the great man I congratulate him on 50 games.
Pretty much never misses a target.

congrats to broughts! a boon recruit who started off our recent great run of mature age rookies. i'm surprised it's only been 50 games too.
