Get him a WA misses and we’ll be alright

 

[Taylor]

It would be lovely for him to be the first of the three to extend his contract now.

Kid is a kid and likely a bit introverted with a camera shoved in his face.
Stumbling over his words and putting his foot in mouth is pretty normal.
Anxious thoughts can make you want to pull back into your shell and look like you don't want to be in the spotlight.
I wouldn't read into anything at this stage.

 

[King Huskii]

Let’s see if what he says once he settles in and becomes mates with some of the players.

It’s a big change to move across the country for someone that age.

Who knows what was in his mind, maybe his mrs has been freaking out about him going interstate, maybe he loves it but isn’t that well spoken.

Onus is on the club now to make it an environment people want to stay in.

Nah let's just bag out the player and our recruitment staff because he doesn't have that much media training.

I'm going to ignore your sensible post and stick the boots in as well.

That's all I'm seeing with him. A bit overwhelmed but handled it well. He'll be fine.

He's apparently already got a Victorian one. Hope it's nothing serious

 

[eastfreo75]

I don't like selecting Inner Metro Victorian kids but the things is that he is a slider.

If he leaves 2-3 years but we gain assets that's a win for me.

The 27yo we just recruited has a Victorian partner, and that's going to be no problem at all.

27yo taking any opportunity to keep his career alive vs 18 year old who would be picked up by just about any other club if he requested a trade

 

[King Huskii]

Selectors should never draft a player if they have a girlfriend.

I can't believe we just drafted Murphy.

What a waste

So did Leigh Brown, yet Hase and Pav were dockers for life.

May be before your time youngling..

Body language, what was said and the his place of birth. He will go after a couple of years and just remember who called it first.

Called it on the night. Our eyes lit up when he was available. He wasn’t a list management need and not the the right profile.

Who should we have drafted instead oh wise one?

 

[greatgatsby]

Lol at our learned posters writing off an 18yo because of faulty body language!

Not an inner city Vic metro nerdy teen for a start. Undersized ruck/backman just seems like a waste at this point.

Would of brought in an extra small fwd.

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

It's a shame there's already so much speculation around a kid who's literally had one training session with the club.

I'm not saying I don't see the same concerns with his body language and the comment about the purple, but he's obviously a very introverted kid with a lot of media training ahead of him.

Let's maybe embrace him and give him a reason to stay, rather than creating a snowball effect off of some draft day interviews and forcing the issue.

Brayshaw was a inner city Vic Metro nerdy kid.

More worried a pick 5 than a pick 41 with go home body language.

Brayshaw is Perth Sporting Hertiage.

I was having a joke

 

[poshman]

I am excited about this pick. Good endurance and great height which is needed for the modern KPF. He didn't bully his way through with bulk, and his height will be an asset no matter the league. I am not sure when we should expect to see a debut, but would think it won't be 2024 and that is fine.

Stoked we got him.

Had that WA connection. His old man worked for us in the 90s. Family had played in WA in 80s and 90s.

Cmom man do your homework.

Nah you don’t do sarcasm.

Fail.

Ooops how didn't I now know that and everyone else does.

“How didn’t I now know that”

Nice grammar game bro. Suits the eagles board with hungry jacks boy behind the goals.
