Ryan Brabazon

[ben.carbonaro]

This kid has impressed so far in the past two games that he has played and I think he might be a chance to play senior football this year.

Who does everyone rate his chance and what are your thoughts on him as a player?

[Nico]

This bloke could be another of Barham's 50+ draft picks that shines.

He looks at home against strong bodied senior players and looks to have a lot running ability for a person so young. Surely he couldn't yet have enough stamina to be more than a bench player, but sure impresses me. Gets where the balls at.

[ben.carbonaro]

Yeah, if he is going to be used as a bench player I suggest that he was used in bursts on the ball.

He could be very effective if used that way.

[Reggi]

Hmmm this kid is around 72 KGs........

Every year it gets forgotten when people watch pre-season games, you can get away with being lighter becasue these games are less physical, but come the real stuff he will be giving away 10 KGs, and much more in strength.

At this stage better for him to play in Canberra. I think you are playing russian roulette with their careers playing them when they are not physically ready.

Anyway he has shown some things

We have the same problem with your name.

Woo, it only has three syllables. How do you go with Louis Roberts-Thompson?

Not very good, just refer to him as the blonde kid from WA in 34 or something like that.

My nephew plays with Albany Railways and rates Brabazon
very highly, with his dedication to training and attitude
to improvement as being his strong points.

34 Blonde, close enough.

Knows how to find the footy and will be a player. He was an under aged draftee was he not? Probably would of gone higher in this years draft then so it was a good get.

[Old Royboy]

Certainly has shown a bit in his first couple of runs. Because of his name and (lack of) physique, I have started to call him Tarzan.

I think he was actually a "mature aged" draftee - 19 or so.

Thornton was the real young'un picked.
