You forgot Viney

I strongly considered Viney in that group. But as we know Viney is a freak and i put him with the experienced campaigners now like tyson watts etc 

The boys abover are still boys. Whixh is what makes them so exciting

Thanks DC, but really it should have been "1 voters" (sic)

Getting lazy in my old age.

I don't see much of Pendelbury in Brayshaw at all to be honest. I think he is going to be a great player but I can't see the similarities at all

Yeah, I love Brayshaw, but I see Tyson as more a Pendlebury clone.

Brayshaw is like a Fyfe/Pendles/Ablett/Dangerwood/Judd clone but with like heappps more upside and way betterer.

Frankly I think he's underrated.

I can't put my finger on what type of player he is.

I like his bravery, i like his smile and i like his humility

Met him briefly at the Casey Community Camp when I was getting autographs for my daughter - got that touch of Brayshaw smartar$e about him which I like!

Much taller in person than I thought too he's not that much shorter than Hogan, should be in for a great year.

 

I really hope not.

I'm a big fan of confidence but despise arrogant smartar$es - like his uncle.

Although from I've seen he seems like a nice young man and I guess if he plays great football for us it doesn't matter too much.

He's seemed a great kid and certainly doesn't lack confidence put it that way! Jesse on the other hand is really shy and quiet...of course I am basing all this on 2 minute conversations and I'm sure they are well versed on being on their best behavior in front of fans.

And how about his decision making, positioning and kicking to advantage?  I like them even more.

Yes, and his evasion, measured celebration and onfield thought processes, sick

I'm a doubter...

Good player but until he can hit a short kick target under 30m he'll never be a great.

The amount of times he over / under kicks short passes for a player who is clearly so skilled is infuriating.

Eliminate those basic mistakes and he'll become a great as he knows where to run and how to get it.

He only averages around 14 disposals a game, will need to increase this significantly in 2017.

Again, I don't know what type of player he is because he isn't a inside player and his skills aren't good enough to be an outside player.

so you have doubts about him too, i take it clint?

i want him to be great...but i have my doubts...

I just can't work him out, his best is very good but like I said I can't put my finger on the type of player that he is.

Gus, first two years (one with concussion) I thinks his trajectory will be far steeper than it has been for 2017-2019  -and  for me,  he reminds me of Darren Jarman with inside/outside game -positioning and penetration  - Post script - DJ's stats wise (K 13.5, HB 5.5 and G 1.6 per game)

A real Angus Brayshaw type.

I heart both his 2 sidedness and pumpkin headedness.

He has a strong frame which is fortunate as it needs to support a bulbous cranium.

He will be a serious player

Yeah, he has played a lot on the flank under Roos though...

He doesn't play a huge amount of midfield minutes and in the games where he has his possession counter rises quite a bit, I think that stuff will come in time but I doubt the coaches would be worried about possession numbers for him at this stage

As we've seen with Bontempelli, you don't need to get it even 25 times to be best on ground or exert great influence.

The thing that's always excited me about Gus is his ability to hurt the opposition with almost every touch. Almost all of his long kicks set up goals and his ability to kick on either side of his body is an absolute weapon.

20 Brayshaw disposals are the equivalent of 35 Viney disposals and that's nothing against Jack. He's just not as dangerous with the ball in hand. Not many players are. But Gus seems to have an acute game sense and importantly an ability to execute. 

Having said all this, I'd agree he needs to up his possession count. Given his interrupted second year, I'd be happy if he averaged around 20 disposals for 2017. That'll position him nicely for 2018 and the Melbourne explosion, when these guys have played 50+ games together.
