Bombers delist Johnson & Bradley

[Footycardtrader]

Here is the article from afl.com.au

Both a bit of a surprise... Surely Kepler Bradley will be snapped up by someone in the pre-season draft...

all the essendon supporters i work with have been calling for that all year, particually with Bradley

he could work well with St Kilda..we need tall defenders

Thats big news; you would think that the Bombers would have tried to move them in trade week if they were going to just delist them.

Johnson has been a great servant for the club and hopefully he can latch onto another club.

Bradley was the #6 pick only a few years ago... played the 49 games.... You don't often see that.... usually they play either hardley at all or have a long career.... Pretty handy player i reckon...

A few teams could do with him...

A team like Melbourne or Richmond could really use a key defender like Bradley. Especially Richmond, with Gasper retiring the Tigers had been forced to use Joel Bowden as a key defender.

Port Adelaide should pick-up Mark Johnson as he would add some much needed toughness and aggression to the team.

WoW - Johnson hey !

I knew Bradley would be delisted (well suspected he would be) but I didn't think they would let Johnson go !?!

Bradley to Melbourne sounds good to me

Wouldn't surprise me to see Johnson end up at the Dockers with the Mark Harvey influence and their tendancy to love older players in their twilight.

Tiges have first pick in the pre-season draft....not sure who else is up for grabs...but Bradley would have to be up there....he'd be a good support down back with Bowden, Polak and now McMahon!!

Jarred Brennan still hasn't signed with Brisbane.... There's talk he might end up in the pre-season draft... I think he'd be ahead of Bradley...

Having said/read that though.... I doubt he will... He will probably re-sign....

There was a story on Sports tonight just a few minutes ago about exactly that....the Tigers reckon they can afford Brennan....I really enjoy watching him play....he'd be better off as a Tiger!!

I would have said Essendon were the prime candidate, but they just sacked him so can;t re-pick him up surely!

Kepler Bradley is not a defender.

He played the majority of his games back there?

Just because a senile old goat plays you in defense doesn't mean you're a defender. He was useless and shit scared down back. Kep's value is up on a wing or across half forward, he can be dangerous when he goes forward.

Agreed. I liked him roaming the backflanks and pushing up the ground the way Chad Cornes does when he plays back.
