I believe he has played both half back and wing. It was the inside mid role he has yet to be trialed in.
Anyone know anything about him?Some info on Will Bravo from Draft Central.
Will Bravo - Aussie Rules Draft Central
i had him as an outside chance to be drafted last year, inside mid who showed some class in his underage year in 2019, probably the best kid from Dandenong in his draft year, decent prospect who could develop into a player? if i remember he did have decent acceleration? its been awhile since i saw him play, but he did look good in his underage year for Dandenong, i remember that.
I think with Scully retiring, Patton sitting out indefinitely and Sicily out for most if not all the year we will heavily explore this option.
From that profile, appears we’ve changed our recruiting model - prioritising speed, power and hardness with skills and decision making a 2nd order priority. Seems similar to Saunders in some ways. But a type we’ve typically not looked at (seems more a Richmond style pick).
I don't see there being too many of these come halfway through the year to be honest. One, maybe two at max.
Yes we have a clear focus on speed. This started a couple of years ago but really escalated this offseason. * indicates above average pace (at least for a their position)
Massively ramped up this draft. Get the feeling McKenzie rates the attribute more than Wright has in the past. I know Wright put a premium on kicking.
I think it is driven by a shift away from structured play towards unstructured play. Good teams can attack quickly before the zone is in place. No point having the best zone and foot skills if teams jet out of their backline and get it down the other end before you can set up. Less stoppages means less chances to reset. And it is becoming impossible to get out of defence if you can’t out sprint your opposition into space.
And by all reports we were also looking to draft Max Holmes up until the Cats moved up and nabbed him from us. He smashed the 20m sprint at the NAB AFL Draft Combine. I reckon the new manning the mark rules will make players with speed extremely valuable so will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
The Tigers model. Modern game, proven success. Most will be doing it.
If we are to go down that path then we really do need at least 2 marking and goal kicking forwards, Geelong know it and so does Bris. so they get a key forward each.
Think you might find Fitzpatrick had some toe as well.
Interesting. When we first recruited Impey wasn’t there talk of building his tank so he could play outside mid in future?
