List Mgmt. Welcome to Geelong, Tanner Bruhn

[CatToTheFuture]

CS said all player contracts are dealt with individually, i.e. one player's contract doesn't depend on any other player's contract. It's more likely Bruhn is trying to lift his stocks to get a better deal, e.g. a B&F would add $$$.

It's nice to say in theory but salary cap is not an individual metric

 

[Pure_Ownage]

i just want to know why hasn't he extended his contract yet

Bruhn is probably already contracted past 2024. The club never announced the length of his deal.

In fact, the salary cap isn't a 'metric' at all.

If you're saying that the salary cap encompasses all players' salaries and therefore they cannot be assessed individually then I disagree.

 

[David the Cat]

Some people just decide they don't like someone, and from then on nothing that person does can ever be OK.

Correct...I call it the Travis Varcoe syndrome....a class act much maligned by a vocal few

Is this true? Seems odd

 

[Turbocat]

The interview on CH7 post the Brisbane game ...he seemed very comfortable now . Cant find it on replay ..but he talked about the clubs and its history etc.

Has grown into a very presentable guy so who knows down the track..but one could see some sort of leadership role

Don't they all have player managers these days? A manager is gonna advise not signing anything no matter what until the very end. Bigger payday for the player equals bigger percentage for the manager. Help me help you show me the money. All that stuff.

Are you ok? Did you even read the context of the previous message before smashing that on the keyboard?

Has tanner ever won a game off his own boot?

No. A moronic take would be calling him Bruhnlow, a gun or star based on a a 20 touch 50% DE game as a midfielder. This thread was bumped by others based on his game against Brisbane. I certainly didn't think his game was bump worthy and I didn't feel the need to bump this thread after his average last couple of games.

That didn't pan out all that well for Doedee last year. Sometimes it's best to know the $$$ you want and take it when it's there, rather than trying to squeeze every drop of blood from the stone.

Threads like this really rreeaaalllllyyyy show up those David King types who use stats to base their football opinions around

Bridgey has taken Bruhn's improvement and development with a lot more grace and class. However since you are appearing seriously annoyed I will stop referencing those who wrote him off and seem intent on doubling down.

You don't rate him and I doubt you ever will, so perhaps you've said all you need to say in this thread.

Being right on the internets is very serious bizness for some

Warhorse was my wingman in the early days regarding Bruhn, and I'll forever appreciate him for that.

Like they say. If you're going to into battle on BF, you can use a faithful steed.

• likely to offend

I take offence to someone who doesn't know what he's talking about, as unfortunately some guys just happen to be clueless or rather have a vendetta against a certain player of which he has no justifiable claim to do so. And no, it's not a 'moronic take' by me when I say Tanner Bruhn is going to be a gun footballer whether it was viewed from last Saturday nights game against Brisbane Lions or any other game that he has played for the Geelong...... GO CATS

You take offence when someone has a different opinion to you? Go outside and touch some grass

I find this post offensive.

Can we stop the dick measuring contest and just be happy we have some good youth ?

only 95%....?

 

[Daitro]

I certainly wouldn't see the need to come on here chest beating over 20 touches @ 50% disposal efficiency.

Stripping his game back to number of disposals and efficiency is just a tad disengenuous though. 21 disposals is a little low for a fulltime mid but understandable since he only had 58% time on ground, it seems all our inside mids spend a lot of time rotating off the ground. He had less disposals than Bowes, but more than Parfitt, Atkins and the same as Danger. He also had a team high 9 tackles, 10 contested possessions and a team high 7 clearances. Those three stats are way more important than disposal effiiciency for an inside mid on a wet night.

Reducing his game to 20 touches @ 50% efficiency is like stripping a forward's 6 goal game down to: 'he only got six kicks'.

Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I offend people at least 99% of the time.

This is actually really tricky, as there will always be some pushback if Bruhn's contributions are praised (as, in their eyes it wasn't warranted). So we would have to be happy in silence. Then there's no point having a forum. So your proposed Utopian setting is admirable but unrealistic.
