What the Eagles fans have to say about Kepler
What the Eagles fans have to say about Kepler
This makes for some interesting reading. It from the Bombertalk equivalent:
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:06 am Post subject: Kepler Bradley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is he a potential trade target?
Would we be interested?
A young, tall key defender with signficant improvement left in him.
And a West Perth boy to boot.

He is very overrated...Jaimie Graham is a much better player than him anyways

Depends on the price. Potential there, but that will only go so far. If it was an easy direct-swap trade for another player then maybe, but I can't really think of anyone they would be interested in...Gards? Haha. I don't want us to give up draft picks to get anyone though.

Don't know if he can play true KP if you get what i mean, but nonetheless isn't the worst option out there.
Truth of the matter is though, are we game enough to go for anyone unless they desperatly want to come back to WA?!?!?
We have a fetish for draft picks.

Gee you lot are harsh. Uncertain what his best position is and forced to play wherever because of Essendon's dire situation.
Good player, will stay at Essendon, I would think.

He's a different type of player to Graham, will develop a more solid frame. The sort of defender who could handle a Jonathan Brown type.
I reckon get him - if the terms of the trade are right.

I would love to see us take a punt on him. For a 21yr old tall, he is relatively well developed. Give him another 2-3years and we'll start seeing his real ability.
Worth our 1st rounder IMO.

Granted. I just think this year we dont need young blokes running around in the WAFL. Our time is now and someone who could step into the 22 will help.

I seem to remember him rucking for West Perth with Mark Seaby a few years back. I don't think he'll amount to much.

DEPENDS ON THE PRICE? I wouldn't even accept him in the Blue & Gold if essendon paid us to have him!!!!
He is shocking!!! He is on essendon for a reason, and is one of the reasons they suck so much. He is as slow as my grandma, his kicking is as poor as poor as my baby neice, and his defencive skills are well below par.
I rate him as among the 5 worst players in the AFL (currently playing in a side).

Handle Jonathan Brown? What drugs are you on? Jonathan Brown would kill him. Kepler Bradley couldnt take on our worst player let alon brisbanes best.

You just made that up. You don't remember anything of the sort.
It didn't happen. I was there. He played as a running midfielder on the very few occasions he played for West Perth first team in 2003 before being drafted.

I'm a fan of Kepler Bradley. I reckon he'll develop into a key player for us. I've spoken about this in numerous other threads in relation to this player.
2007 is a new year. There has already been some change. Everyone starts again at 0-0. Go you Bombers!!!!!!
Gringo, I don't give a shit about what West Coast supporters think about our players mate. Your excessive bagging and negativity about our players has me wondering if their is a "rat in the house" pretending to be an Essendon supporter.
Is that right Gringo? Because at present I am wondering why you are an Essendon person because you have not posted by my recollection one positive post.

I'm sure he has a personality on every forum, like the one he presented here from WC site. Gringo aka "kilaw" wrote on their site;bombercol wrote:I'm a fan of Kepler Bradley.

Sounds very gringo-ish. It's nice to be a supporter of every club, that way you can bag 15 other club players and supporters while pretending to be supporter of the premier team. He's a class act our "gringo".

You continue to make me laugh, Benny Doolan. Your stint at Essendon as a footballer was hysterical, and it appears you have successfully transferred that form to this site! Well done.

For the last time, I'm an Essendon member and hardly have enough time for this site, let alone others.
When you decide you've had enough of life with your head firmly planted in your sphincter and re-emerge in the real world, I suggest you take a realisitic look at how our list has performed over the past few years. My posts represent my opinions on why we are struggling at the moment. I know people like you are destined for a life of second-best and happily accept that, but I aint.
For the record, where do you think we will finish next year, sport?
Now, now kilaw, don't lose your temper. Clam down, relax and put your dick back in your pants because you are embarrassing yourself.gringo wrote:You continue to make me laugh, Benny Doolan.

You claim to not have time to post on this site let alone others, yet, here you are PASTING a whole thread on Kepler Bradley from a WCE site.
You are;
1. A f****** liar
2. A f****** hypocrite
3. A f****** idiot
I Googled KB to try and find something out about his background. I was looking for something like "Kepler Bradley dominates in WAFL as a teenager to emerge as high draft-pick candidate." Put simply, I was looking for reasons, any reason, why in hell we drafted him at number 6. For the life of me, I cannot see how KB was the sixth best player in the draft, or the sixth best prospect in the draft. Anyways, what turned up on Google was this little chain of thoughts from WA. I thought it made interesting reading, so I posted it on BT. I’m not sure why that means I post on other football sites or don't barrack for Essendon.You claim to not have time to post on this site let alone others, yet, here you are PASTING a whole thread on Kepler Bradley from a WCE site.
Still, I'd imagine there would be very few things you say or do that would adhere to the basic ideas of logic. But as I said, I do find your posts rather amusing, so please continue. "Put your dick back in your pants" was not really very original though. I mean, I'm sure there was high fives all round in the Doolan household when you came up with it, but it really doesn't cut the mustard anymore.
