    bradley :(

    i realise we would have to cull half the list to get this fella, but a 197cm 88kg (same weight as saddo, IMO could fill out to 95kg) CHB that wants to run and get the ball would suit us perfectly..



    Big Bradley looms as a top prospect

    After winning the Larke Medal and gaining All-Australian honours in the National AFL under-18 championships this year, Western Australian tall Kepler Bradley looms as one of the top young big men in the November National AFL Draft.

    Bradley who will turn 18 less than 10 days before the draft, stands at 197.9cm and 88.4kg, but is versatile enough to play in the ruck and centre half-back, while he nominates his favourite position as the wing.

    ?I like playing on the wing, just to get a bit of a run around (and) a few touches. Ruck and centre half-back when I?m needed is alright I suppose,? Bradley told afl.com.au at the National AFL Draft Camp.

    Bradley?s performances in the championships earned him strong praise, which has even seen him firm as a top 10 contender come November.

    But already in the interviewing process with several AFL clubs, he has yet to gauge where he will be taken.

    ?They don?t say much when you?re in interviews with them,? Bradley said.

    ?It?s pretty confidential and they won?t let anything out, so anything can happen on the day ? you can go top 10 or 50th or not go at all, so you?ve just got to wait and see what happens.

    ?I try not to listen to it I suppose, because anything can happen. You can not get drafted at all, so I just try and block it all out and just on the day (I?ll) focus on it.?

    The exciting tall from West Perth said he would like to remain in Western Australia, but interestingly he doesn?t follow either Fremantle or West Coast.

    ?No (I support) Sydney. I go for Sydney. My dad went for them, (so I chose them) when I was young, so I just got it off him,? Bradley said.

    ?It?d be good to stay in Perth and WA, but if I have to move away to play Australian Rules footy, then I will.

    ?It?s going to be a hard task to move over to Victoria or wherever I go, if I do go, so it?ll be hard, but I?d do it to play AFL.?

    Yep, just been reading about this kid elsewhere...would be a good pick-up for the future, but don't know if he fits into our immediate plans...but hey, if he's not snaffled up before our first pick...go for it...
    "Davis...Davis has kicked 2...he snaps from 40...dont tell me, dont tell me, hes kicked a goal....unbelievable stuff from Nick Davis, can you believe this, he's kicked 3 final quarter goals and Swans are within 3 points..."

      He'll go early. Maybe the best bet is to work on Dad.

        We're no chance unless 13 other clubs don't rate him. Such is life....

        177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

            That would break draft regulation.. then again it worked for Essendon a few years ago.

                  Nicks, Seymour and WARFE for the number 1 pick in the draft?
                  We will get totally screwed by this deal! I Demand we get Brown, West and number 1 for our three talented players

                    Hope you were joking, Bradely would be worth these three only snappa has much to offer if he ever regains his fitness. I saw this kid in WAFL grand final and I thought WOW, alot of goodes in his game he will take time to build his strength and fitness at AFL level but I predict big things for this swan loving kid.

                      haha of course i was! hence for the

                      I was reading the AFL draft camp profiles and i came across a player called Spandermann.. 199cm and 100kg!! maybe we could snare him for a late pick as he could play FF with Hall at CHF and Micky on the Flank like he should be. He sounds like a great project player

                      Imagine The Schneiderman Crumbing The Spandermann

                        Did you see Bradley's photo in the paper, skinnier than Damien Oliver.

                        Tough running CHB, hardly, would have to wait 10 years to put on a bit of beef.

                          Let him go elsewhere and learn his trade, so that in 2 years when he's getting towards his prime, he wants to come to his beloved team. Saves us the hassles of blooding another player! Nothing like a ready-made 21 yo recruit!

                            Could this be the kid they are wanting to trade Saddo for as part of Carlton's #2 pick?

                              I believe so!
                              But still doubt we will get that number 2 draft pick. But who knows? It is the silly season!
