ok fine lets for get hes been at the saints for 5 years lets look at the games he has played in the aflShaggy wrote:Forget the 5 years rubbish given his injuries.
He has come good the past season … 8 bests in 17 matches is not something to belittle.
He has not destroyed the opposition as I thought he would this year but if you see him he is still just a kid.
I believe he is wakening up to himself as a footballer. Now would be the most stupid time to get rid of him.
on decent game against a decimated lions team in the last game of the year and the rest substandard bench rotations games where he showed no passion no drive and no determination to keep his name in the senior team

in the VFL i never said he was a bad VFL play just not a good afl player shouldnt the fact we were lacking in the ruck department give you an indication that if he was AFL quallity he would of got a game ?? why is it easier to believe the coach doesnt like him then hes not up to it ?
diferance being when Hamish had his opertunity he didnt lack enthusiasm brooks cant say the sameDan Warna wrote:2007 was the year hamish macintosh came good after 4 years of SFA, macintosh was in the magoos for 4 years and didn't have injuries., he is 6 months younger than brooks.

Brooks has got talent no doubt, but his attitude is what holds him back. Players with less talent than him have made it in the AFL, his laconic approach is his biggest handicap. If Rix had his talent then we will have found our man. Maybe a trip to the local dog pound for an injection of mongrel is what is required. If he does get the chop then he has only got himself to blame.TwoTowers wrote:Not a chance Brooks will be delisted. He has been terrific this year. His real benefit to us in future will be as a forward who can help out in the ruck. Gehrig, Kozi, Roo and team balance meant he paid his dues in the reserves. He will be given his first real opportunity in the seniors next season.

I don't think we had anyone on the veterans list this yearborderbarry wrote:I believe Sweeney and Raymond have both been dropped from the list. If we cannot have 6 rookies and anyone on the veteran list, what happened this year with Harvs and Max, and the 6 rookies?
I dont know if Attard is too old to be retained as a rookie, but Jones certainly is.

a)- inside the list- withint the main list of 38 - as Max and Harves were this year
b) - outside the list- and included in the 6 next players- ie 2 veterans and 4 rookies
list total 44
you can have more than 2 veterans and from reading may be up to 4 ?

Brooks played some ruck in all of his last three AFL games. He's got the athletic ability to contest the centre bounces, but lacks the strength to compete at around the ground stoppages. Rix might not be a match-winning ruckman, but at least he's not going to get pushed around like Brooks.Dan Warna wrote:has Brooks been given a game in the ruck for the seniors in the saints in 07?
