Actual footage of Bryan enjoying the post match festivities on Saturday
Who the hell is that??
so you think he did run at light speed?
on previous post I agreed and pointed out how can bryan look so slow but was lightning quick at the draft camp. maybe he tires quickly from the heavyweights pushing contests.
it was a joke mate. calm down.
Stranger Things character and Nick bryan impersonator
It’s not even one person’s opinion. I think 95% of people do not think bryan is our most promising ruckman since 2000, its hardly a controversial take. but you can guarantee yourself these days it’ll be my opinion that gets picked apart on it, its like a obsession
You’ve heard of the old saying that opinions are like ■■■■■■■■, everyone has one.
I promise to never express an opinion again.
Time to step up
I just cannot get out of my head Bryan being beaten in the ruck by Sam Powell-Pepper. He needs to harden the fark up.

Go well son
I have Bryan tracking on the Tim English curve.
Their numbers at same age are about the same when you consider Bryan is averaging 42% time on ground at this point

English only really became an effective AFL ruck at 24-25
Yep, Draper destroyed him every time we played them. He looked soft and average but was very highly rated as a junior.
Sorry, where was i talking about any of that?
I just think the statement he’s the most promising ruck we’ve had since 2000 is ridiculous. Because it is
People clearly have short memories and forget Christian Bock.
He could have been anything but he chose to be a praymantis.

No, he played full back for Jerusalem
Was crucified by the umps.
Made a great comeback, though.

Subbed off
Reminder of how he went last time out at AFL level.
He doesn’t need to dominate or even play great tbh. All he needs to do is try his best to break even in the ruck( not let Geelong get clear taps and clearances).take some marks around the ground and compete as hard as he can when the ball is in his vicinity
I like Bryan as a ruckman. His biggest weakness that I have noticed is when he is out of position eg a throw in falls short, or a kickout goes about 5m from where he is positioned, he just goes half heartedly instead of going hard to get to the contest to make sure his opponent doesn’t get an uncontested hit out or mark. He just lacks intensity at times. He needs a touch of Nankervis or Draper to go with his natural athleticism.
