Got my hopes up when he kicked 5 in round 1. Wouldn't have minded him getting another year, but will back the clubs judgement, as he did look a mile off it at the end of the season.

A good trade, Hayse-Brown for Bradtke, did the Wildcats throw in a draft pick as well.

Agree. Makes you wonder what made us pick him in the 1st place. Would've been better to try Narkle who was already AFL experienced.
Nah. Sparkle already had five years experience at AFL level yet still couldn't hold a senior spot again this year. At least with Bradtke it was a punt on the unknown and untried in the hope of covering a gaping hole.

Aged well. You can pick em! 😁
Hey Champ
You want to be “ half smart “ . I will spend time going through your posts !!
KB can play
Suggest go and watch every VFL game he has played this year . Round 1 and the game against Southport
This kid can play . The goal last weekend proves he has the ability
Confidence maybe the key
But the club exit him after one year
How many years we keep Garthwaite for ? Can you just remind me , it’s embarrassing Can’t even hold the ball properly .
And don’t get me started about Maurice Rioli Jnr and the two gifted games he got in last two rounds . We all know Rioli hasn’t the skills .
Pity KB wasn’t gifted 2 games hey !

Needs to be a far stronger mark than what he’s shown to cut it at afl

I had high hopes for the lad when we picked him & after the 1st game when he kicked 5 goals I thought he might be ok. He then got injured & when he came back afterwards was totally uninspiring. He just seemed to jog around & not get involved as much as he should imo.
Are there other factors involved, I don't know, we may find out we may not.
