Kepler Bradley

[jacob]

This bloke is one that I would like to see us have a crack at obtaining. He has height & mobility and a was a mad keen swans supporter. I think he could develop into a swans version of Dustin Fletcher.
I don't think that he will be cheap some possible scenarios would be:
Buchanan & 2nd round pick
J.Bolton & a 3rd for Bradley & a 4th

or we could play a bluff & tell essendon that we will not bid for Darcy Daniher if they trade Bradley on the cheap.
How good would it be to get one back at the bombers say Bradley for Bevan.

Bolton and Buchanan are going nowhere. I'll hand in my membership if Bucky goes.

Ryan O'Connor of the noughties. Pass.

If the Swans were to offer EITHER Buchanan or a 2nd round pick for Bradley, I think I'd round up 4 mates and a dog and organise a march on Driver Avenue to demand the sacking of the recruitment officer. To offer both?

He's a player whose been unable to command a spot - other than sporadically - in the Bombers even when they've been hard hit by injury and much worse performed than Sydney. Regardless of Monty's worst season since he established himself, he is still a more than decent player (top 5 in the B&F in a premiership year) . He's also probably the only small midfielder in the senior team capable of generating clearances other than Kirk. Something pretty decent would need to be on the table to warrant trading him.

Bradley's problem seems to be that he's a small player trapped in a tall player's body but doesn't have the agility of players like Goodes that would enable him to properly play as a midfielder.

Once again another perfect assessment Liz, you shoot down people's ideas with your superior understanding and knowledge of the game. KB would be one massive risk, and i've never really rated him, certainly not highly enough warrant a swap with Buchanan. Essendon don't have many players who i'd want at Sydney actually.

He is going to the dockers and end of story. He and his Family all are mad wa Swans fans and that when he got pick up by essendon they where not happy. But the word is that the deal has been done with a little more money for Him. I hope i am wrong

Liz as we all now it is a sellers market when it comes to players with some height. I remember on this board when we traded for Jolly the uproar that it caused when we gave up our first rd pick & now this board is asking some pretty heavy prices if he was to return to Melbourne. Yes he is now a premeirship ruckman & has improved since coming to Sydney, do you not think that Kepler can do the same thing?
It is also a common thread on this board that we need a key defender & if we have the opportunity to get our hands on someone who may fit that bill I think we need to explore every avenue possible to obtain him. As for not playing at Essendon I think the recruitment of Michael & the fact that he is a very similar player to Fletcher curtailed his playing time.
Buchanan yes he is OK at the clearances but his disposal is & always has been very suspect. If he was such a key member of our team why did he not come straight back in for the final?
Yes it might be a high price but it is a sellers market.

I'd rather have Darcy Daniher at the Swans than Kepler Bradley.

If we're going after defenders, I say again we should look at Tom Murphy of Hawthorn.

I think his problem is that he is unco.

[Plugger46]

He can't play.

[Doctor J.]

That is not beyond the realms of possibility.

[dread and might]

Hack of the highest order. I have not spoken to any bombers supporters (god knows I know a lot of them), who rate him. Must have been a sheedy favourite to keep getting a game. Only Bolton (m) is worse on that list.



IMHO

No Kepler Bradley or Mark Bolton thank you very much.

[Layby]

I reckon we could start some recycling program. It seems a waste to let all these memberships be torn up without a use for them.

How about a large papier mache ephigy of bul@@@@ ?

[Jeffers1984]

No Kepler. We already have an unco player in LRT. 1 too many.
