Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

If Brambles can reduce the clangers and improve disposable efficieny he be a good player. He is a decent mark.

He tackles and knows where to find the ball. I like to persist with him and see where he gets to at 50 games.

One thing we lack is another long kicking backman who is a decent mark . I wish Poulter could fill this void but marking is not his strength.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

To me Brambles cops a lot more criticism than he deserves. I'd be happy to keep him in the side a bit longer.

Where do you prefer he play?

Probably wing but withe Duryea probably in his last season and JJ injured then it seems that we need him to play BP.

Agree with this, Bramble as a player has some good attributes but his disposal is just so iffy.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

For me I would go with Richards and Khamis in

Ed in the guts.
Bont 50/50 mid forward
JOD & Khamis Backline
Bramble to the wing

Keith out as Jones and Doc provide the experience needed down back

Daniel as sub

Is it though?! His disposal efficiency avg for the season is 82%, rated above avg and the same as Dale’s. He has had a couple of absolute howlers which I think clouds people view of him.

Wow, there you go. Your last line applies to me then. I stand corrected.

Either way I think he's ok.

Bramble is good, don't get the angst. Not every player can be Athos Hrysoulakis.

Keath goes as 92% disposal efficiency. Defenders who take on minimal risk with their kicks will typically register the highest DE, and Bramble takes on a lot less risk than Dale.

Bramble goes at one clanger per every 7 disposals, the worst ratio of our small defenders -

Johannisen 12.2
Williams 12
Freijah 11.8
Dale 11.1
Coffield 11
Duryea 9.2
Cleary 7.3
Bramble 7.0

Don't disagree with you although I think his issue is decision making not disposal(the post I replied to was about his disposal). He has had a couple of dear in headlights moments that look really bad in isolation.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Richards to the back line GD?

I?d have him in the midfield and play CD in the backline. Bramble makes too many errors with ball in hand. I get what we?re trying to do with him but it isn?t quite working. He?s not an 80m player and he?s a liability when the ball hits the ground.

Bont spends more time forward. Treloar potentially some time in the back half.

Libba will have to spend some time elsewhere too.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 14 vs Fremantle Dockers

Just saw this re Buss:

“averaging 23.8 disposals and 9.8 marks per game across the past four games for Footscray.”

Deserves to play on form alone.

I agree he is due for a debut. Let?s be serious for a minute though. Possessions for key backs is irrelevant unless it?s intercept marks/intercept possessions. It?s all about how he competes in the air and how he can stop fwds on the lead or in a battle of strength. He is still developing all those areas but it?s time.

You're probably right.

What match-up does he get??
