WOOF Welcomes Lachlan Bramble to the Kennel

[azabob]

This discussion about footy skills and what position he will play is all very well and good but what's his nickname?


If he doesn't have a nickname then he doesn't exist as far as I am concerned.

I'm suggesting Wilfred after the actor who played Albert in Steptoe And Son

Wilfred is my cats name, interestingly enough he is missing a number of teeth….

[jazzadogs]

No one willing to stick their neck out here?

McComb is probably a better centre bounce mid than Bramble, but I think Bramble would have him covered in most other roles.

[Rudgey88]

My first reaction to this appointment, was that he could be the Duryea replacement?

Although maybe with his athletic traits he will play half back flank and allow us to utilize Bailey dale on the wing?

[Bulldog Joe]

Anyone is better than McComb

Certainly more chance of a meaningful contribution.

That may change when we see him play.

I don't get the 'Dale to wing' obsession. He's an AA quality backman, and in the last 12 Months we've signed Williams, Scott, Baker, Poulter, Arty Jones and we just drafted Freijah and O'Driscoll, and Hawks fans seem to think Bramble's best position is either a running HB or defensive wingman.

I've never had a filling or a decayed tooth and it was because as a kid my grandmother told me that if I didn't brush my teeth properly I'd end up looking like Steptoe. Thanks Nan.

I can still remember my dear old nan (who died in 1980) watching Steptoe and saying 'oh that filthy old man'

The knock on Bramble from Hawks mates is that he undoes a lot of good work by missing his kicks so there is work to do there.
Both Hawks mates were surprised he was delisted.

Maybe Hawthorn had to make a difficult decision in order to fit Gunston and Giniven's wage in? After all they probably hadn't planned on either of them landing at the Hawks before the trade period so anyone without a contract would have been in the gun.

I doubt they've got a squeeze on the cap and they should be chasing some bug names next season.
Bramble wouldn't be on a lot. Probably just came out of contract at the wrong time and they already have a couple of taggers.

Is he from a 1970s footycard?

Looks like "The Axe", Simon Aitken.

Does Wifred willfully do a fred?

[Happy Days]

Man he looks haggard as shit (compliment maybe?)

[Twodogs]

"How long do you need Axe?"

"A quarter of a second. Just give me a quarter of a second"

I dont know why but when the VFL was on TV, it aleays seemed to show the weeribee games witb Atkins getting a heap of the ball. Really enjoyed his weekly player updates
