I was very excited by the prospect of recruiting Bruce, I thought he was going to be great. One year on, I am considerably unimpressed.

I think he might be the player I have warmed to least out of everybody we have ever fielded. I think in my own internal rating system Jayden Schofield, Ed Barlow and Brennan Stack all get a game before Bruce if i had to pick a team.

He needs a monster preseason, where he gets his mobility back and relearns how to take a mark. Has a bit of the Crameri's and Gowers about him in that he is a big crash and bash style forward that constantly goes for dumb low percentage plays, he genuinely plays like we just unleashed a huge Labrador in our forwardline and just told him to "get amongst it".
