Universal Love Tim Broomhead

[PepperFace]

Im sure anyone who saw yesterday's VFL match would agree with me that this guy has potential to be a star. In only his second game this year he was as hard as a cats heat. Poise, speed and skill were all top notch......im excited about his future if he keeps his head and keeps working hard on and off the field

 

[loki04]

Give him a taste against the curds of the ladders arse as a sub imo.

 

[Temploar]

The 2012 Hine special!

 

[MeisterBot]

Will be a gun. Mini-Daisy but with slicker kicking skills. Really excited about the potential of Kennedy, Elliott, Seedsman and Sweeps.

I don't think he should play next week though.

 

[TradeDraft]

Liked his Pack and Ball Use.

Did remind me a lot of Nick Davis but Harder at the Ball

 

[wednesdaywarrior]

He has a nice turn of speed does the boy and once out of the blocks he just zeroes in on the goals. Really interested in his upside as a kid who's come in pretty light to begin with. I think maybe we should nurse him through this year in the twos and get another solid pre season into him. Especially since we have some other options for the small forward role. Apart from anything else it would be good to give Didak one more shot at glory to see if his body will hold up. Love to see Broomhead put on another few kilos and be developed as a skilful midfielder the way the Bombers are doing with Heppell.

I was really staggered how much space he found after his 2nd game back from a long lay off

 

[THATSGOLD]

Only injuries and perhaps gaining weight will stop him from being an A grade footballer.

 

[Robroy22]

You had to think he was something special when the Geelong and Adelaide recruiters were so pissed at him getting to us.

 

[Maggie5]

I think that we did really well in last years draft. Think that he will be a gun.

Are cats notorious for having especially hard penises?

Cats had a Chance to Pick Him Up and Crows gave away the Pick they could of used to get him

I remember someone on the day saying it was Essendon and Port

 

[blaze036]

Don't understand why (aka Tim) is in the thread title?

 

[Heater39]

Why do people call him Ben on this board?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yeah that confused me too, but then I saw they have "Tim" next to his name on the official site. Must stand for Titan In the Making or something similar.

 

[blaze036]

Why do people call him Ben on this board?

because his official name is Benny Broomhead

he also prefers Ben


case and point -


HEY BEN BROOMHEAD !

Hey tim broomhead

 

[MeisterBot]

Why do people call him Ben on this board?

Because there's ben a clerical error with regards to Sweeps' first name. It's not Tim at all.

I see, carry on then...

 

[Green Eggs]

I haven't had much of a chance to see him in the Magoo's, is there any current player you would liken him to? Do you think he'll come in and have an immediate impact ala Beams / Rusty?

Ok so please dont misquote this as im not trying to compare him to Judd as a player - but gamestyle I would say he can be likened to a Judd. Good balance and accelleration from a pack......and a really good willingness to get into the contest. Obviously he has a long way to go but things are looking good for a kid with a smallish frame (although he is not skinnny he will still need to add 5-10kgs to match bigger body mids).
I think he could come into the team right away and would not disappoint - however I would be fully supportive of the club if they just allowed him to develop this year at VFL level

Stephen Wells confirmed that it was between Thurlow and Broomhead at their first pick the day after the draft.

At the club the nearest comparison would be Daisy, but he's got Rory Sloane written all over him for mine. He's got that perfect blend of skill, pace and hardness.

Also guys the Northern Blues was his third game back not his second. It's no coincidence that all 3 have been wins!

His family call him by the affectionate nickname 'Tim' (it all started one day when the word 'Tim' happened to be written on his birth certificate, and it kind of stuck from there).

But his real name is 'Ben'.

 

[surfer1]

Both have good height as well Broomhead 181 and Seedsman 189 same with Faz at 181 complements the height of Blair, Thomas, Elliott and Kennedy

 

[Primetime Pricey]

saw a bit of him at Port Adelaide and was very surprised he got selected to be honest. He didnt come across as a 1st or 2nd round pick but im glad from all reports he showed something in the VFL and hopefully he can keep on improving.
