For ability to dominate games Travis Johnstone would be the one but Bruce is a far more consistent player. As we need consistency I guess if we had to pick one it would be Cameron Bruce. Both would be nice though.
You guys have pretty much hit the nail on the head with your assessments of Bruce Vs Johnstone. I would agree and say Bruce if I had a choice between the 2, but I certainly wouldn't complain if we got Johnstone
Bruce is more of a sure thing , while Johnstone has more potential as a gamebreaker.
I'd play it safe and go Bruce because Johnstone's too much of a headcase.
"Are you an angry man? Are you envious? Do you get envious? I have competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people. At times, I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. "
Bruce is a much better option overall, but Johnstone has shown he steps up to the plate in big games and would come much cheaper.
Taking that into consideration I'd go for Johnstone and hopefully have enough trade bait left over to target another solid player, rather than spend it all on Bruce.
Johnstone has the bigger upside, Bruce will peak in 2005 and then level out for a few years. A healthy Johnstone has a lot to offer still, only thing would be that Johnstone may not have the 'personal attitude' the club is looking for given the recent spate of indiscretions.
I think Bruce's ability to dominate is underrated, he can certainly control a game when he's getting the footy, and every time you see Collingwood playing badly, it tends to be because they either can't get their hands on the footy, or their posession is poor, and neither of those things would be a factor for Cameron Bruce.
My vote goes to Bruce for sure. We have enough players who can play brilliantly, but don't. Let's get another guy that will perform week in and week out.
Bruce looks the more consistent out of these two. Johnstone looked alright in that first final, but he seems to get injured a lot, plus his haircut effects his hard ball gets.
In reality we have pick 7 in a draft where the best players will be gone by pick 6. To get anyone that can play we will have to part company with something. Pies are being mentioned so we have no chance it's all about pushing their wage up.
Look on the bright side for once Culprit better than having pick 17. Anyway it has been proven often late picks can be suprise stars why early picks never always live up to their ratings. Either Bruce or Johnstone would be handy. But I like Bruce more, better kick on him and less injury prone.
