Brew is a real heart and soul player so at the very least he'd be a guy willing to leave nothing left to chance.

 

[adogsfan5]

Worst comes to worst, he barely plays and spends 12 months with guys like Gallagher, Sanders and our other young guys.

Brew signing can also be seen as adding a playing coach to the list

He's got years of experience and done a great job helping develop those Werribee under 23 players

I kept quiet on it as I just didn’t really see it happening with the amount of players we could play through the midfield, so it’s a little surprising.

However, his determination and work ethic I don’t think can be faulted and it will definitely means players will be fighting for places. And that can only be a good thing - if we do add him on in the end.

Bloke deserves a crack, had a feeling it was Bevo when there was reports he spoke to a premiership coach asking for a chance

Hopefully his dedication and standards rub off on a few. I'd much prefer guys that live and breath the game rather then those blessed with skill who only play to fund their video game addiction.

Locker room presence sorta dude. I back it. He doesn’t need to play, just lifts our standards and effort on the track and in our VFL program. Best case, he kills it and we have an AFL standard tackling machine.

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Bevo will play him R1 off half back lol

Honestly having him be de-facto captain of Footscray would work, have him working closely with Sanders and the new lads to set the standard for them.

Apparently we have Internet In SANFL Ruckman Harry Boyd

AFL clubs with list spots for the SSP and the potential recruits

The Supplementary Selection Period opens February 3rd.

Love Brew’s story but I really hope we give the last spot to Boyd. He’s a little short for an AFL ruckman but he plays in a Ben Hudson/Brodie Grundy style that Bev might actually use if needed. Averaged 20 disposals, 40 hit outs and 10 clearances in the SANFL this year. Would be great to have him showing the ropes to Lachie Smith at VFL level, as his playing style is very similar to Smith’s. He can pinch hit at either end too, so we could still give Smith plenty of ruck minutes.

I thought Boyd was all but certain going to the saints wonder what happened

Yeah I’d seen that, possibly because they picked up Dodson at the draft unexpectedly.

It worked moving into the back line for Matt Boyd and we haven’t really had that contest one n one big bodied type in the back line since.

Would like to see Gallagher trialled in that role, think he could flourish

I watched a heap of brew's highlights and it has me pumped. Contested weapon, tackles and is a good field kick.
