Disco08 said:One of Brisbane's standouts in their two games so far has been Jarred Brennan. Another high draft pick, in his first 4 years he made Tambling look like Phil Carman, yet Brisbane stuck with him, played him at every opportunity and now he appears to be paying them off. Funny thing development.

Because they get drafted into a better enviroment with better resources and leadership.nwonash said:Why is it that Brisbane and Port Adelaides youngsters have stepped up so quickly ?

rosy23 said:Opinions of Richie shouldn't be prejudiced by his draft position or his contractual situation. He's a young, developing kid and obviously isn't ready to put in 100% for an entire game yet. He kicked 2 good goals today, one opportunistic and a nice long one. There's plenty to like about him and it would be better to support and nurture him, whether at Coburg or Richmond, than it is to place unrealistic expectations on him.

SCOOP said:Sorry that is just wrong. I support Richie but to say that you shouldn't expect more out of your pick 4 overall is not something I support or understand how you could think that. So the basic idea is that once everyone is on a list the expecations are the same?

benny_furs said:Lazy?
He put in more effort than 95% of our list all pre season.
He put in extra training sessions and pushed himself everytime he was on the track.
His fitness is improving but don't call him lazy for not having Robert Harvey's fitness at 19. He had 5 tackles today in case you didn't realise, great to see such a young skinny kid put on so much pressure if you ask me.
