He'll be alot better then Leon has ever been thats one thing for sure... 10yr prospect this kid dangerous type...

Lets not forget he has just returned from injury too. His ability to bounce back and get back into the thick of it is a great sign for us. For too long we have suffered injury blights and the fact that kids like Daisy and Brad can recover so quickly and so well after serious knocks is a huge plus.

Go Brad!!!
Be yourself, obey the boss and play tough and more importantly, enjoy the moment.
We are all behind you.

Go Pies!!!

How proud are we of young Brad?!!!

2 of the very best and plenty of assists.

What a courageous team player this young man is.

Young Brad was just sensational tonight he played a pearler first up in front of seventy thousand people...he's only going to get better.

Brad Dick you little bloody ripper. What a blessing youthful exuberance is to a side. Cant wait to watch this one mature into a collingwood hero and assume cult status.

What a great performance from a young player.
Nice work Brad!

How did this bloke drop so low in the draft? Superstar material.

Yeah I can't believe he was in the 40s.. great left foot kick..looks like he can play midfield .. classy player!

- Infectious enthusiasm
- Brilliant endeavour (reminded me of Dale Thomas in that respect)
- Pace
- Composure (1st game in front of 70K people and he was loving it)
- Strength

Made tackles stick that guys 30kg heavier often don't. Wrapped up one of the Richmond big men (can't remember who) very well in the centre of the ground.

Very excited

Loved it when he tried to tackle Simmonds. Had no chance whatsoever and nearly knocked himself out in the process... but he got back up and kept going!!! And he didn't stop all night. Great first up effort.

Well done to Brad on playing a great first up game in front of 70 000 people . This kid is gonna be a star

Well played, Dicky, the first game of many it seems. His endeavour was outstanding.

Was he ok after the game? The Afl.com match report has him having an ankle injury.

I hope his is ok! I loved his celebrations after his 2 goals; this is a bloke who loves his footy!

His decision making was stunning for a first gamer. The delivery to Rocca in the forward line in the 3rd was superb. He put it too the fat side and gave the defender no chance.

And then again in the last. He ensured Medhurst would have to take the grab out front, and the kick also made the defender stretch and evetually give the free kick away.

Players that can deliver the ball into the forward 50 like that are worth their weight in gold. However there probably wouldn't be too much gold with Dick's weight at the minute.

Looking forward to Brad Dick game 2 against Port.
