Your expectations on Bradshaw tonight

[stellation]

Just curious- with White making way for Bradshaw tonight, what do you expect from Daniel to justify his selection?

[erica]

Goals - lots of them.

[hot potato]

This is a good game for Bradshaw to resume, he will have a most enjoyable night... 3 goals.

I expect 4 goals +, I contemplated 4 goals + and he's done his job but then decided that simply isn't enough; which is perhaps unfair on Braddy, as I imagine 4+ is the expectation on him and the win is the expectation on the coaching staff making the call.

Couple of goals, but really just want him to stay on the ground and keep Lake deep.

That's gonna be the interesting challenge. I really hope we put some pressure on tonight. The Dogs could hurt us coming out, especially at the 'G. It's my concern with having ROK. He won't be chasing down anyone and there's not many others around that will either, give or take a few like TDL. That part of our game is a worry.

[SthMelbDieHard]

Agree. There to keep Lake honest so anything above 2-3 goals will be a bonus.

Just got confirmation from inside the team that Bradders definitely plays. Although no word forthcoming on any other possible late changes.

No way. Lake is injured Bradshaw isn't. He's fresh and doesn't need game time with his age, experience and skills. I'd expect Jesse to score or set up at least three goals. Braddy: I'd hope for five. Less and I'm not convinced it was worth the swap.

I want him to do the sort of job that will prove to ME that he is more suited to this particular game than Jesse.

I just spoke to a Doggies mate who says Lake has big hip problems. He was happy to see Braddy in as they can both hobble around the goal square together. We agreed that it should leave whichever one wins well rested for the following Saints game.

Contested marks in the forward line is the main think we want from Braddy, this is where White falls down. In the heat of a final our midfielders when under the pump need to be able to send the ball into the forward 50 to one on ones and get contested marks or bring the ball to ground. A majority of the time Jesse gets outmarked in this situation. Bradshaw also has the ability to take a mark when out of position

I would like him to take out their best defender and the loose man they may have in defence. If he does that and doesn't kick a single goal, while at the same time allowing other team mates to score because of the gaps he creates, then I'll be extremely happy with his match.

The rational part of my brain feels the same way. The "oh em gee Finals Sydney aieeeeeeee" part has devout faith that he'll kick about 37 goals.

5 Contested Marks
4 Set Shot Goals
3 Goal Assists
2 Tackles
and a partridge in a pear tree.

I just hope he runs out the game.

[legaff]

If we win, and Bradshaw shows that he's confident with solid touch and presence, then i'll be satisfied, even if he only kicks 1 or 2. He needs a warm up before a big PF, and we will definetly need him to have a chance of winning the flag.
