Was that when he went feet first into a contest? So not only did he not impact the contest in a good way, he lost his feet and couldn't then impact running back to goal. p!ss weak. The fact that he ran at -24 metres gained for a player that should be moving the ball forwards is shocking.

He has to be dropped. Was absolutely *smile* poor for a player of his experience. I don't care about injuries, we can't leave him in after this week.
 
It must be all in the head for Brando. Can obviously play to a high level, which he has proven. But doesn't seem to have that inner drive like a Cotchin, Grimes, Lambert, etc. to get every bit out of themselves week-in week-out.

You think the penny would have dropped by now after being on the outer for 18 months. But once again 10 days off between games and his performance drops off a cliff.

He is a very frustrating player.

very frustrating, especially considering the situation we're in. He is actually an OK one-on-one player, and as I've said before to a lot of scoffing, which I completely understand mind you, he is a good contested one-on-one mark, when he chooses to be. But he doesn't bloody choose to do it nearly enough.
 
Ideally your senior players are reliable. You know what you will get from them most of the time.

Unfortunately with Brandon, you can't trust him week to week.

Unfortunately he's not the only current player to pick and choose moments.
 
Isn't really that damaging when playing his best football. Goes to ground too often and weak in the contest. Give his spot to Naish.

He's one of the very few who doesn't, so it stands out when it happens.

A beautiful contrast to the old Richmond.

He is a good contested mark..................when he is bringing the contest. If the contest is coming to him not so brave.

Plays scared after 150 games. Nothing will change
He needs a new club and we need a new player

This is how it feels to me. Plays a, bit scared. Sometimes I feel he pretends to go hard but actually doesn't to avoid moment of impact.
 
Hey where is the love for this guy.

One of my whipping boys and I had him out but he was terrific. We needed leaders and he stood up (bar one slightly timid effort late)

If he brings the heat he is a pretty decent player.

Right on Lambo!

Played a great game tonight
 
I didn’t see his game any different from any other weeks.
I noticed he jibbed it several times and just held up play as soon as he got it.
Ellis out Big V in.,.
