Yes, we're doing the whole team. There are people out there who watch the ressies and like to rate them.

Rate away ...

Rate a Season #7 Luke Brennan

Fix....

5 when he is in i think he shows some good signs, he has not been given the chances of say a bevan who i would rate a similar player in terms of ability.

^ Ignores obvious line about that being tough on Brennan.

He's only ever going to be a fill-in when injuries cut people down; there are just too many flaws in his game. Whether they keep him around as a backup seems unlikely. For a season rating, maybe a 4.

He has talent, and you can see why he was a top 10 draft pick and why the Swans gave him a second chance. Physical, good contested mark and good reader of the play. However, his horrible kicking action is a big liability at either end of the ground and is probably 5 cm too short to play as a key defender.

For real Ugg? If you were to be considered a top 10 draft pick you'd expect them to be able to kick the ball properly. Brennan certainly doesn't fit the bill.

He's a trier i'll give him that but he just doesn't have the skills/nouce to have any real role around the ground to be worth persisting with IMO.

2/10 because he managed to snag a couple of games but will be delisted at the end of the year IMO.

Yes, but for his kicking he would be a solid player. He's solidly built and is not afraid to get stuck in.

I like how you gave him 1/10 anyway

Ooops. Did I forget the poll??

As for the stats I don't believe that stats always tell the whole story but if you want to go ahead and put them in, please - don't be shy!!

If every body thinks his only down fall is his kicking,i say we should keep him because he can be taught how to kick properly.

You never know he might go hard at his kicking over the pre-season and come back next year a great kick.

[Lucky Knickers]

3/10 + 1 for that bag of 9 in the Ressies.
I like Luke. Not only is he a great singer he is bloody fearless at the contest and I like that.
I hope they keep him on the list. Aside from being a bit injury prone, his terrible kicking hasn't lead to anything awful happening when he's played seniors - and his hardness has worked in our favour - caused a turnover or taken out an opposition player along with himself

You mean like how Jude Bolton has been taught to kick over his years at the Swans?

Exactly....Maybe they think Jude can kick well..

I like Luke, and rekon he gets harshly treated.
If he got a fair dinkum crack at it with injuries and game time he can make it.
Granted his kicking is is downfall and it will never improve .
I hope he gets another year though his spot is one they will look at.
