WOOF Welcomes Lachlan Bramble to the Kennel

[G-Mo77]

To be fair our list management has been questionable.

2 year deal for McComb, long term deals for Daniel, Macrae and Hunter, multi-year deal for VDM, Baker, Poulter...

I'd prefer Bramble over Baker and Poulter but I agree with the notion we have too many of these types who aren't contributing enough now and certainly won't in the future.

My problem is the timing of it. Clubs are not going to be chasing Bramble and we could have waited. I get the feeling he'll get pushed out by year end and hardly spotted in 2025 so he'll be that guy taking up that spot just like a lot of the guys listed in TBB's post.

I mean, you forgot Shane Biggs and the one thing we told him we'd never do was forget.

What happened to you, man?

To be fair, there were times over the 2016/17 off-season where Shane Biggs forgot who Shane Biggs was.

Ha ha that legitimately made me laugh so I'll allow it.

Bramble for a year is fine.

I don't want him to play much in the next 18 months but I'm okay with him being on the list. Salary cap and player choice (FA, trades) mean that you will never have a full list of stars - at least he has some AFL attributes.

Congrats to him he is a good fall back when injuries occur and I think he has improved.

[Testekill]

He has been an amazing pickup for Carlton, given the injury problems Zac Williams has had. Crazy, ridicolous good pickup by Carlton. I don't understand how we could have missed him ????

He wasn't that good while playing with us in the VFL.

He was picked up as a rookie in 2021 mid season draft, so pure speculation

Has played 7, 9, and now 13 games

[Mantis]

Must've been really impressed by his 2-kick game against Collingwood and his countless turnovers last week to sign him up.

Hoping he becomes a depth player quickly.

He has developed into a really good small defender but nobody who was watching him run around for us in the VFL would have seen it coming. Sometimes players just have to get into a professional system and they make big improvements.

It's a fair point. A shame none of the guys we took from Footscray came on the same way.

And he remains in my heart to this day, but not in the AFL

[GVGjr]

16 games for the season, closing on on the 50 game milestone and after a somewhat slow start is now starting to show some consistency and is providing a lot of run for us. Is he starting to look like he belongs in the side or do you still have some doubts?

I like him. He cracks in and he's tough and accountable. Seems to have moved on from the odd disposal howler he was prone to early doors.
