    Congratulations Josh Bruce - 150 AFL Games

    With his third club, Josh has finally reached 150 games and has made a big difference to our forward line with his presence. He does a lot of little things that are not appreciated by many.

    After a slow year last year, this year he has contributed 45 goals, 7 GA and 32 inside 50s.

    Certain to break his career best of 50 in a season too. He looks very much at home, and bromancing Naughton.

    Congrats Bruceeeeee. Love what he is bringing this year. Seems to enliven those around him & great team player - seems to enjoy celebrating others goals more then his. Especially Naughty’s.

    I liked him at Saints & that much more now he is one of ours. Need more characters in the game like him.

    Congratulations, Josh. Love how hard he works and can't fault the enthusiasm. I can't believe how much better he's been this year!

    I always rated Josh Bruce when he was at St.Kilda. Yes, his first year with us was disappointing but it was a challenging year particularly for him - new club, stuck in a hub, child on the way.

    He has turned things around big time. Great team player.

    My thoughts also. I was super pumped at his pick up. Let’s feed him on his 160th and hope he kicks a bag.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Love Josh

    So happy when he came to us from that mob. I said to him: Welcome to the club, so happy you are here. I hate the Saints.
    His response was - So do I. Made me love him even more.

    Re: Congratulations Josh Bruce - 150 AFL Games

    After a pretty tough year last year he now fits with us. I reckon there's a lot of similarities with his last year and Mitch Hannan this year, but that's for another thread.

    The dude can clearly play, and even though 50%-75% of his goals actually don't count as goals he's still putting in a good return for a second year player at the club and he's a massive reason why we are where we are as a TEAM!

    I thought the shit that was given to him by his previous club after he left, in the form of a "joke" at their presentation night was pretty cheap. We've given a shit tonne of love to Adam Treloar this year in some ways largely on the back of how he was treated by Collingwood, Josh Bruce deserves the same level of tribal protection from us and he has it from me.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Congrats Josh on 150!

    He has had a good season in 2021 after a tough 2020. Been a good presence up forward. The highlight - 10 goals in the Good Friday match.
