Apparently he was the best clubman you could possibly ask for. If only that translated onto onfield form.
I remember him being a rubbish defender early (saw Richo give him a bath in his very early years) and then turning into a very promising young key position forward. He lead well up the ground and played well as a link man. We then started to realise that for a CHF he didn't kick many goals. Calls were for him to play closer to goal yet Danniher thought it'd be better to **** him around by playing him defence on the "gorillas" because guys like Rivers, Fergeson and Carroll weren't trusted. That game where he apparently smashed Hall (who kicked about 1.5) really hurt his career.
Finally, we thought he'd broken through in the 2006 semi final vs Fremantle. He was taking pack marks and kicking important goals. Wow! While this did almost completely put an end to his career as a defender, he never got near that form again as a forward
Farewell Brad, I hope you get a gig up on the GC to kick a few goals and work on your already respectable tan. You've always been a very frustrating player to watch, but never have we doubted your passion for the club, the contest and the game.
