Kepler Bradley and Daniel Wells

Since we are building a team of the future.....then we should've got the above mentioned players instead of trading for Sugar and Brownie as these guys will be finished when we get going.
 
Grass is always greener eh?

Brown only 28. He can probably last another 5 years if his body holds up. Your team aren't necessarily five years away from being strong.

Daniel Wells is an enigma. By now he should be a force in the competition. He is not. Kepler Bradley? Please. A handy talent but he is nothing spectacular. To be honest, I'd prefer your Brown.
 
mmmm i disagree, wells is close to one of the most talented players going around but he seems to be very lazy and rarely plays to his full potential, and what has kepler done to show his worth over a suga or brown?

the experience and leadership suga and browny will give to the young squad will be more valuable in the long run than a wells or bradley imho.
 
Kane Johnson, Nasher. BTW, Kepler Bradley?? :rofl :rofl :rofl What a dud!
 
Kane Johnson and Nathan Brown will bring infinitely more to our club than Daniel Wells or Kepler Bradley could ever hope to.

Wells is the Krakouer of North...certainly got talent, but goes missing a lot and is too inconsistent. As for Bradley...zips summed it up best.
 
No doubt we should have got Johnson for Ben Holland & the trade we ended up doing for Kane was costly.

agree. wells is overated
 
If Wells had a few more talented players to help him, he could be anything.

Happy with what we have at the moment, because, we have them...

too many if's but's and maybe's to list but go with what you got.
 
If we had taken Wells we never would've got Schulz, because that's who we picked up with 'Adelaide's' later first round choice. Personally, the last two weeks, seeing Jay emerging as a post-Richo full-forward, I would not give him up for Wells. Wells may be the more talented player but big marking forwards aren't exactly falling from trees like acorns. (And in any case, the pick we traded wasn't no. 2 at the time!)
 
I would've rather have had .........

...The numbers to the last big Superdraw in tatts.
...The phone number for that leggy blonde at university.

Agree.  As much as i love Browny, and Sugar is a well disciplined captain, it was once again a quick-fix band-aid approach by the RFC.  Frawley was coach at the time so it was no surprise.  Don't you remember, we were so close to being a premiership team after 2001 (even though Brissy smashed us in the prelim by some 11 goals) that all we needed was top up players like Hudson, Houlihan and the like to win a premiership. LOL. :o

GO TIGES!!! 
 
bradley is an absolute H A C K


Wells plays two good games a year.


Brown when he went down was the best player in the league

And Kane Johnson well we needed leadership and he is a great example on the training track. By the way we gave up Tim Walsh for johno ... the AFL gave the roos Wells. And that is a fact !
 
Nathan G Brown, is probably the most naturally gifted player in the AFL when on song his ability to hit a target either foot is wonderful to watch. Kepler Bradley on the other hand.......... i got nothing. He looks like the yokel out of the Simpsons. "HEY KIDS WE EATIN TANIGHT"
