Doing well is the Bobble but if I see him go one handed at another mark instead of two mits I’ll go spare

Really stands out when he does it... Pity because he is taking some very big contact these days ... Some very key involvements today.

Career best form and Adam Kingsley a big part of it congrats Brando
No 2015 was career best form that's why so many on here are pissed. He used to run up and down the ground, take bounces, kick goals make tackles and take contested marks with two hands and then in 2016 something went off in his head and he started to panic. Probably when he was trialled in the backline I can't remember. Some of the good stuff is back but the bad stuff hasn't gone away.
 
I wouldn't either. I think he's best 22, maybe not best 18. But after his first 2-3 years, he looked a lock to become best 10.
 
Well done to Brandon. He is usually No 1 of outs for me when our guns get back but looks a player reborn out there. Been a leader last two weeks and close to our best.

Well said Lamby, he has been huge last few weeks, like every player can make mistakes however his run and general positive involvements have been a pleasing change this year which has be enormous given our outs, keep it going Brando!
 
He has been very good Brando of late. He took some really good contested grabs vs hawks too. He has stood up when we needed him with our injury list but in all honesty i think we should let him walk at end of season. We have a good core of kids that really need game time too. we need to develop them also. Cotch, Jr, nank, etc etc will all walk back in to side obviously, so spots are limited. We have to play that next tier and give them game time.

Whats best for us is he continues this form and another team offers a big contract. maybe we squeeze end of 1st rd comp pick from someone when we don't match
 
Naish to take his spot next yr. He will be too expensive and with very few other free agents we can receive a good high draft pick for him. I predict the club will let him go. But will always be a tiger

If he keeps this form up, we may not be able to afford him

i was thinking this as well .... he is playing like a $600k+ player atm imo.
and can get that easily in a cellar dweller club.
i think he will walk.
 
With each week passing, his value is increasing and the compo pick becomes much more valuable.
Currently a early 2nd rounder

I've been one of his biggest critics but I thought he has his best game ever for us today; certainly in terms of decision making.

Well done :clap

Me too. He didn't shirk a hard ball today and just kept running and running. Great effort Brando

sounds like your upset he's playing so well, dont think you would have any idea really, if your still bagging him, he will never reach your crappy unrealistic expectations.

and you are probably a north supporter who has never laced up a pair of footy boots.
