#24 - Nick Bryan - thru 2027

Best game he has played

Some of his taps were were so clean to our mids

He was aggressive and fighting for ground balls and strongly competing in the contest

Would love to know his distance travelled, becuase he seemed to pop up everywhere

Yes.

I was just giving you some stick after you tagged me last weekend it’s not that serious.

Hopefully Bryan gives you plenty more reason to tag me. He’s been pretty poor so far. But I always put aside the year after an ACL when I’m judging a player.

We just beat a team that has knocked over Freo and Geelong in the last 2 weeks. The AFL often produces results that come from nowhere as today shows. A win for the Tigers will be important if they are playing for Yze in any way.

He still has a long way to go and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Vigo go past him

Played well today and to be honest you’d expect him to. Good signs but nothing to get too excited about.

Hopefully a boost of confidence for him.

Next year will be make or break for him

Any words on the injury? What it was, how bad it is?

I know he got the knee in the ribs from ADW, but he played on after that so don’t know if that is why he went off in Q4 and the AFL site listed him as injured.

He hit the ground early on in the second quarter, took a while to get up. Trainers came to him, but he didn’t go off. Looked like a cork or something, but he played on after that, and played a great game to boot! I wasn’t sure what happened in the end, I wonder if there was something in that contest though?

I reckon the one in the second quarter was a knock to his reconstructed knee. He then copped a knee to ribs from ADW in a marking contest.

Not listed on the injury list but omitted due to injury. I hope it’s not his knee and the club is trying to hide it.

He got smashrd in ribs about 5 times. He’s likely very sore.

How like very sore? A lot like?

Not freaking hard to let us know. I can understand maybe not doing so while he might have played on the basis he was sore and didn’t want the opposition targeting him (how oh how could they learn he might have hurt his ribs???), but as soon as he missed we should be given an explanation.

“Ruck Lachie Blakiston slots back into the side in the absence of Nick Bryan, who’ll miss through injury after copping a couple of very heavy knocks last week.”

Hopefully just out for the week.

Another underwhelming performance. He had 8 possessions and 0 marks. Not good enough for a first ruck. We desperately need an AFL standard ruck.

had an average game. In saying that both numbe rone rucks were average.

There were several balls up where Bryan’s jumper was pulled up to expose his midriff yet not one did he get a free. Really frustrating that so many tiggy touch wood frees are paid and they miss these obvious ones.
