Pick 68 - Kaiden Brand- Welcome to Hawthorn

[halfback dasher]

Fletcher like for mine .

 

[eldorado]

Not sure I'd call that the most stunning of highlights packages, but that's neither here nor there.

Good luck to the lad. Welcome to Hawthorn, Kaiden Brand.

 

[Jaeger]

IMO he'll replace Lake in a few years as our big key defender.

I thought exactly the same when I saw the footage on the HFC site Dash. Could well make a nasty FB in a couple of years time.

 

[Slattery_20]

So I take it, we'll run with "stampy" as his nickname? Or perhaps just "stamps".

Given his awful first moniker, perhaps he'd prefer "no-name" ?

 

[Flukey!]

In any case, a speculative pick at 66 is fine with me.

Speculative is the right term I think with this fellow.

4th year in the system, and departure of B. Lake.....2016 is the time for K. Brand to step it up.

Injuries are never well timed but it was a bit crap. A lot of pressure to step in right away.

 

[DEECEE]

Good luck Kaiden. Big shoes to fill, those Gatorade carts don't drive themselves.

Good call.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Any Box Hill watchers have anything to say on his 2014 form?

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

If not for injury would have played 6-10games this year.

Would expect him to play more often than not next year, developing in the AFL. If he struggles, Spangher as backup.

 

[MrPremiership]

Didn't do anything wrong in the 15 seconds of the NAB Cup game that he played.

 

[The Lemon]

Was looking brilliant and then

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Both shoulders being done is not flash. Brand is a great height but certainly needed more muscle. He's the best KPD prospect we have had in a long long while - which is not saying that much.

 

[hardway]

Saw him play 1 vfl game a couple of years ago, and thought he had a touch of class about him.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Making his debut tomorrow night.

All the best on the big stage, sounds pretty excited understandably!

Sounds like he's looking forward to getting out there.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Can't wait to see this guy. Is the right size for a key defender finally.

Tough gig on Riewoldt or that potato Vickery.

Hope he has a ripper !!!

 

[Arkadia]

Well done to the Lad. Wish him all the best. He will acquit himself quite well me thinks.

 

[halfback dasher]

He's ready ...

I saw Vikery in town the other day. He's a freakin' big unit.

 

[SSSSSS]

Hope Vickery doesn't try any funny business and clip him when he's not looking.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Going by the vfl footage looks to be in great nick, his skills are underrated imo the guy is 6ft 6 and has that bit of agility which means he will stay in the contest when the ball hits the ground, i think were all going to be wondering why its taken this long to get a game im hugely confident he will fit right into the system of how we play.

Gibbo and stratts will alternate on jack, lets hope obrien stays as a permanent forward as we can expose their backline bigtime tomorrow night
