Starting to get a Ben Cousins tank and game style!

I mentioned Cuz as his ceiling a while back. Before that I thought he could hit a Joey Montagna level.

If Brando starts kicking goals he'll be the complete mid.

I just have feeling that Brando needs to have a big game tonight.

Looking for a couple of goals, for him to have a strong second half and announce himself ready to become elite.

Wrote this at the start of the year just before our first game.

Goal kicking huge flaw in his game. Otherwise he is a ripper.

Yeah a bit hit and miss. I do remember in the Carlton game round 1 last year he kicked two Absolute blinders, both of which (in pretty sure) made our goals of the year for the tigers.

Yeah the goal kicking needs to be fixed. I was surprised in the Collingwood and Port games that he actually kicked majors, and I shouldn't be.
 
Another very good game.

26 disposals, 8 contested, 17 uncontested at 88.5% efficiency.

Some seriously good numbers yet not mentioned so far by the masses.
 
Took a speccie and kicked a really important goal too. Doing the things that matter. Gotta be in the leadership group soon.

Cue: SCOOP

First I thought he'd be a solid Stanton like foot soldier. Then I recalibrated and said he could get to the level of Joey Montagna. Now I firmly believe he could be as good as Cuz. Could win a Brownlow this kid.

Elite. Better than anyone thought he'd be.
Bloody oath he is.....I hope I don't moz him but I thought he'd be a 100-150 game solid citizen....thou I reckon his AGrade atm , not quite elite.........Yet ;)
 
If you look at the players around him in that draft there are some good ones but none who have exceeded Brandon. Greene and Devon Smith are good players , Adams meh, Docherty is a decent player but not in Brandon's class. You could argue that he is in the top 6-7 of that draft at the moment. Compares well with coniglio, Buntine, Haynes as examples.

Bradley Hill and Lachie Neale were the steals of that draft
 
Who went at 15? I remember we moved back one place in the draft because we brokered a sweetheart deal with Sheedy to let Morris come to us.

Ellis and Morris for 16 is the steal of all steals
