        Don't know why there is even any debate. He has fallen into our lap for free via the PSD so we'd be stupid not to take on a player of his quality.

        If we snaffle him I reckon we're a really good chance for the 8 in 2010, and not just as finals fodder like Carlton and Essendon this year.

        Not sure who will miss out on a spot, it may be a youngster, then again it may be an experienced player like Ablett or Richards. Who cares anyway? Until we are no chance at playing finals in season 2010, we should be selecting our best available team.

          Precisely.

          Apparently we are using our first pick (#5) for him. No surprise there.

            Funny.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
            Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                Agree. I just hope all those on the Bradshaw wagon were arguing for Cuz last year.

                  Huh? I'm pro Bradshaw and was anti-Cuz. But I didn't know that Bradshaw is a team-disrupting drug user!

                    Don't believe all the media hype. Sometimes it's the bad boys who prove to be the most productive role models in training and on the field.

                    Then again at Richmond any new blood with talent was always going to make an impression.

                      Think about it this way: if he'd been on our list in 09, would you be calling for him to be delisted?

                      Didn't think so.

                        Surely the opposition of getting Bradshaw are just saying it to balance the equation in the Matrix?

                          I can't fathom why anyone wouldn't want him.

                          - He's still a gun.
                          - We have a spot on the list to fill.
                          - We get him for nothing (salary aside)
                          - Will play a similar role to the one O'Loughlin played. O'Loughlin wasn't affecting anyone's development, so I can't see why Bradshaw will.
                          - Has shown throughout his career that can he work with multiple forward targets.
                          - Johnston may well need a year of reserves football. If he's not ready, throwing him into the seniors would do him more harm than good anyway in my opinion.
                          - He's not a midfielder, so there's no-one that he'll be keeping out of the side.

                          I don't buy the injury stuff, as you could say that about any player on the list. A number of people want to keep Playfair and he's a lot more injury-prone than Bradshaw is. And with about a tenth of the ability.

                          No logical reason not to take him.

                            The opposition to Bradshaw doesn't make sense for exactly the reasons you state above.
