Analysis The Anus ball drop, finally explained

[Dark Sharks]

Well shiiiiiiit, now it all makes sense.

Can't hold the ball properly, that's why he drops it like a melon.


All i can say is, i'm glad they're doing something about it.

How he went this long without getting it fixed is beyond me. If it's that detrimental to his kicking then he took a bit of a risk attempting to get drafted.












Here is a pic of Brayden having a shot on goal ^^^

Gives me a lot more hope for him having a good career as that ball drop and kicking was going to stop him being an AFL level player imo.

 

[Astro7]

yes, thought immediately of the complaints on here about his ball drop-and his future!
but great to see every little nuance is examined, tweaked and rectified in the world of footy.
could make a big difference to his career and to the team..

Does feel like it took the club 12 months too long to do this.
Hopefully his ball drop action hasn't become too ingrained in him.

*, whats the difference between 9 and 10 years yo

****, whats the difference between 9 and 10 years yo

Maybe i misread the article, but didn't the issue only flare up in 2017?
That makes it 1 and 2 years.

Initial injury occurred at age 11. 2017 he made it a bit worse.

 

[FKASC]

He must have really ****ed his finger up. What kind of gates do they have down in Esperance ffs

 

[Doashuey]

Should have gone full Chicky.

 

[FKASC]

It also explains why his arms are so scrawny. Been focusing on lower body strength instead, which has to be a good thing for a mid

 

[Shmiddy15]

I had the same thing happen to my left pinky when I was playing king of the pack as a 16 year old. The ligiment ripped off at the bone, and I couldn’t straighten the tip of the finger because the ligament wasn’t conencted any more. I waited 9 months before I had it looked at, and even now 9 years later it’s still pretty ****ed. Can straighten it fine but it’s much weaker than before.

Now it all makes sense, I knew he was special.
If he pulls his finger out he may have a breakout season.

 

[JordanWCE]

That was a risky click.

Now I'm confused. I thought all the surgery was so that he wouldn't have to pull his finger out to play better.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Should have gone full Chicky.

You never go full Chicky.

 

[WCErevival]

Anus (finger) indefinite

 

[flamingEMBERS]

regardless of the finger injury, he still has to remove 8 years, of which are the most important years, of bad technique. That's an uphill battle.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Apart from his s**t kick, which is hopefully rectified sooner rather than later (although i don't see how), i like what he brings as midfield depth.

If one of our starting mids went down, i'd be confident in him stepping up to take up some of the slack.


Head like a campaigner, but a solid player.

 

[WillieNillie]

Was talking to him at Eagles GF after party. Ripping bloke. Refused to wear the premiership medal from Schoey cos he wants to win one from himself. All in all he clearly works hard and he won't be a player who doesn't leave anything to chance or wondering. Think he can have at worst a McGinnity like career. Otherwise hoping for a bit of Priddis out of him

Hoping for better than both of them

What? A Brownlow and club B&Fs not enough? Christ!

 

[kerr87]

Underrated on the inside.

Really great clearance player.

Just needs to work on ball drop and kicking and we have a player.

No im not a dockers fan

Flag.

The only metric

 

[Dark Sharks]

To be fair, these are decent stats for a kid playing his first year of WAFL footy



Definitely has no problem finding the pill. Also add in 3 tackles a game as well.





I think i've actually talked myself into liking this campaigner

The measure of a player is not a flag. So by your way of thinking Mastennis a better player than G Ablett sn.
