WOOF Welcomes Lachlan Bramble to the Kennel

[Mavericks]

No harm in giving him a chance. Has played AFL, has pace and adds depth to the list

[PR0408]

For those that watch training regular how’s bramble tracking?
Think the bramble selection was brilliant. Helps with depth in small defender role. Played some quality VFL last year also.

He's not participating in all of the drills and I assume it's because of an injured shoulder but the next week or two will start to tell the story. His kicking skills seem to have stood up okay in the various drills I have seen and from Hawks mates that was his biggest challenge. I'll try and have a closer look over the next 2 sessions.

Yep agree on that. He is fast too which is a great asset.

It is good that the club is focusing on bringing in speed, although i feel as though Bramble could just be Baker MK2, one of those in and out of the team, plays well for 2 weeks, plays a bad game and gets dropped, repeat.

Only watched parts of the VFL final v Hawks, and if he can bring that level consistency, then there is no reason he could play quite a few games.

I was thinking along those lines just the other day but I'm guessing that the point of difference could more around that Bramble can play as a defender or even as a run with role in the midfield as he has done with the Hawks. With Duryea not always on the park that might be a handy option for us. Here is hoping that they both stay healthy.

Shout out to
@westernbulldogs
Lachlan Bramble. Huddo informed me, in the call, he’s wearing my old number 29 because I taught his dad. That’s pretty cool

[angelopetraglia]

Loved watching #29 Cordy do his stuff when I was a young boy.

Neil Cordy on who he would support in the 2016 GF.

"But today, family comes first. I hope the Bulldogs do it for my nephew, Zaine, and his family. My family.

My three brothers Brian (Zaine and Ayce’s dad), Graeme, Roger and I all played for the Dogs and we have never seen them in a grand final.

My nephew Ayce was there for seven years until last year. Words can’t describe what a win would mean to all of us"

[FrediKanoute]

Thought he did well yesterday. In the batch that can hold heir heads up!

[bornadog]

Only Bulldog to get coaches votes

[Happy Days]

Just so everyone remembers I had this first. He’s good.

[Eastdog]

Been very impressed with his first few weeks with us. Been very good. Looking like a nice pick up so far.

Hear hear.

Looks great so far, I'm weary though as it's not uncommon for a player to get a bit of a rejuvenation at a new club then bounce back down to Earth a partway through the year. Think Sam Lloyd with us or Lipinski/Young at their new clubs. One of the many things mjp has educated us on which I partly remember.

Hoping he's more of a Biggs type though

TBH I think he is a different person player to them, Lipinski is an outside receiver and a little soft, no defensive skills ,Young sadly is soft.
Bramble is the hard at it player with speed and takes the game on.
I don’t think he has it in him to be any less.
