Standard Nick Bryan game. Decent at centre bounce when he can run and jump, not a whole lot else outside of that.
I don’t think he was particularly bad, nor particularly good, but he just has no presence when he plays at AFL level.

Pretty hard to stand out when sharing the ruck 50:50 and otherwise sitting on the pine (he played 50% game time). There was also quite low stoppages and, as Trotters said, no ruck (including the inform player in the comp, Jackson) stood out.

Need to replace him i would take Reily O’Brien over him
You’ve genuinely jumped the shark Nino.
O’Brien is a spud and completely cooked (as are you).

He was the same pre acl doesn’t do anything around the ground goes mia it’s why he’s stuck in the vfl you need to do more then just being good at ruck hit outs
Nino, he was playing well pre-ACL. He’s AFL standard, give him time to work back into it.

nah he’s not other wise he would be playing every week
Bryan played 8 out of the last 10 games before he did his AFL. He had just established himself in the side, as a 23 year old, which is still young for a ruck.

So play him in the 2s if he’s not match ready!
He is our number one ruck. So where does he start the game…on the bench
Top quality coaching right there

I’ve never see. It with Bryan. Not sure what his weapons are.
He’s a good tap ruckman with good skills. We saw it last week
He was just beaten by a better ruck today

I thought it was very even in there. Luke Jackson was no where near as influential as he has been last few weeks. I thought Wright and Bryan did very well against him today.

Bryans issue is that he is neither athletic, a good runner or a strong body.
He does have decent ruck skills and is a good kick.
But he also isn’t intense at the contest or an extra number at ground level.

Hopefully another Blitz ban - a long one - isn’t too far away. Some of the drivel hurts my brain.
His big issue is that he cant take a mark around the ground…..let alone a contested mark.
