Bradshaw.

[ScottH]

I thought he was pretty good last week.
But this week, he was bloody brilliant.

4.3 from 15 kicks.
11 Marks. 6 contested. 10 of them Inside 50.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

He's a legend, adds so much class and he has a cheeky flair about him sometimes. He's fit in so well at Sydney!

[Nico]

He covers a lot of ground in the forward 50. When it goes to him one on one there is a certain confidence that he will prevail. I tought he could have 8 today. A few times he was one out but the player with the ball didn't move it on quick enough. He could have also had a shhot from set shots instead of trying to pass off.

[Vonsteinman]

It's pretty impressive the way he's slotted in. I realise that there are a number of new players at the club, but at least they've virtually all had a summer of training and practice matches.

He's basically come in from a standing start and had an immediate impact. Really, an incredible achievement.

[Jeffers1984]

Most impressive guns in the league...no homo.

[msb]

He should of kicked at least 6 today, but he was very good!

[Foreign Legion]

Yep msb, he should have got a brace of goals today but he was still great to watch.

Sounds silly, but he is almost a 'full forward for the footy purists'. He just moves so smoothly and judges the ball so well. If he stays fit he will kick 60+ this year.

Hopefully he and Jesse can work things out a bit, I get the feeling Jesse is trying to get out of the way at the moment.

[AnnieH]

Jessie should go to Canberra. He'll be plenty out of the way then!!

Bradshaw is a dead-set gun. He looks like he's actually having fun, and makes it look sooooooooooooooooooooo easy.

Again, 11.5 out of 10 to the recruiters this year.

[desredandwhite]

You know, I don't think we've had anyone like this who could take a contested mark since... probably Lockett. Barry was always better on the lead, Mick conjured goals from nowhere and Davo's main source of goals appeared to be his arse....

I think it's currently a very exciting blend of enthusiastic youth and hardened experience.

We need to play White. He needs to learn to position himself well at AFL level. Needs to put himself in dangerous spots. Coaching & Confidence.

Roos summed it up in the press conference, he draws a good player, gives the side flexibility

[TheHood]

Dan was fantastic today but I thought Jesse played the perfect foil and besides, he took out Furito and whatshisname whilst getting air time. You cant beat that kind of legal brutality. Loved his hanger and goal.

Bradshaw gives the Swans forward line a brilliant confidence. His experience was worth the price.

Exactly.

Yeah we were talking about this yesterday, adds that required intimidation, class and cheek to the forward line without having us fans living in fear of a 10 week stint on the sidelines haha

[hot potato]

I enjoyed watching Bradshaw when he was a Lion, I'm loving watching him as a SWAN.

Would those who criticised the recruitment of Bradshaw care to tell us again why?
