Never gunna be a physical contested beast, something that we're gunna have to live with. But to make up for the shortage there, he's expected to perform very well in the other areas of the game that he's good at. Was a very good game by Bobble last night. I'll happily take that every day of the week, the killer is when he plays his brand of game poorly as well as having no physical presence.

I accept that, but I still want him out of our best 22. I can’t handle his poor attempts while we have so many kids in the side.

Herald Sun gave him BOG.

Surprised by that also - thought he played really well and he has actually been one of our mid tier players to step up while our leaders are injured.

He is having a good season so far - it will be interesting to see what happens to him when our full squad is back on the park as I reckon the stack, balta and even Bolton will push strongly for his position.
 
AFL Player Ratings for Rich v Freo. Got it pretty close to right from my observation.

The system determines where and how a player influences a contest and whether the player's effort then results in a positive result for his team. Equity Ratings includes what coaches love to describe as "pressure acts". As a result, players are rewarded for interrupting opposition passages of play as well as setting up scores for their own team. Players can receive a negative score in a number of ways, including when they give away free kicks and also when they turn the ball over. A turnover that results in an opposition score results in the largest negative score.

Which is why players like Houli and Ellis rarely rate as high as their possession count or endeavour. They're possessions are almost as likely to hurt us as help us and their impact on contests is lucky to break even.
 
He made some terrible blunders but kicked an important goal and made an important tackle. The tackle was done from the side so he was at no real risk of personal physical harm. He'll never be a physical player and too often panics and puts others I worse positions but he runs all day.

Hence my call around it being only a B+ for Menadue.

Bobble Ellis was good yesterday but his bad acts stood out horribly. Still laughable that Conca got a game ahead of him last year.
 
Making it very difficult for the list managers. Well done Brandon, back to 2017 form.
 
Yes was very good again. A slow start. But got better as the game went on.
 
Interesting comments by Hardwick in his presser.

Hardwick focused too much on what he was doing wrong and not allowing him to play to his strengths.

Ran 1km more than anybody else today. A great bloke to have on the wing.
 
agree, I have been a critic as well, but he is playing good footy atm. wing is definitely his spot, not deep defence.
 
Another good game from Brandon, if he keeps this level up I'll have to stop calling him Bobble.
 
Been great recently. Wonderful to see, has copped a lot of flack (some warranted, a lot undeserved).

Wish I could do that. Broke my hand a few weeks back after slamming it into the arm of the couch after a typical Bobble *smile* weak effort.

Good game today though
