Welcome Kaelan Bradtke

Not offered a spot for ‘24. I did keep saying he wasn’t up to it.

Thanks for your service Kaelan. Didn’t quite have the tools but that’s no disgrace.

No it’s because we have too many key forwards

It’s interesting, does his departure mean they thought they’re leading KF VFL goal kicker wasn’t up to it or there’s a plan afoot to get something better. Or both?

No surprise. Just didn't have any AFL attributes.

Weird considering we had all pre-season to look at him.

I’m not surprised. Nowhere near athletic enough.

eter German, ex North Melbourne player rates him as one of the best athletes he's worked with.
"Possessing great speed and agility, Bradtke was held in high regard at Rooland under with former Roos’ coach and185-gamer with North Melbourne Peter German describing him, “in the top five athletes I’ve coached in 30 years. He’s a unique specimen of an athlete, a quality tall.”

Reckon he's simply more athlete than footballer?

Or perhaps everyone is super athletic in German's eyes given he was a bit of a waddler?

As expected. Just wasn't able to influence games enough as a KPF. Has some tricks, just not enough of them.

Good luck Kaelen and congrats for being a Tiger, even if only at VFL level.

German must have spent the last 30 years coaching the Japanese national sumo team

The only time I saw him being athletic was in the last game when he sprinted away from an opponent & kicked that goal. Apart from that I thought he was a plodder, seemed very heavy legged.

I'll standby my previous comments that he is or was the worst player on our list and i don't think that if from lack of ability or talent either. Good luck to him for his future endeavors anyway
