You're a hollow individual.
Talking the tough game, love the misplaced image of being a tough guy, but realistically you're a weak little private school boy.
Very amusing to see him label someone else a sniper- you have been the biggest sniper in the game since you've been in it. Very good at the cheap shots, typical of a Hawthorn player, but not a great footballer.
Love the big talk to the Essendon bench- when you knew perfectly well that you would be shielded by your own- and the post match declaration- knowing perfectly well that you will probably never play Lloyd again. You had another 2 quarters to get even, but instead, you had little influence on the game.
Cop it sweet Hawks.

I thought Campbell was talking about his old man for a second, one of the filthiest, dirtiest dogs of all time on the footy field. His statement wreaked of double standards and he should've keep his mouth shut, and better yet tried to get a touch on the field...
He is a tough player but yesterday was a poor choice of words from him and if he doesn't retract the comment then he's an idiot. I can understand him making the comments he did at the time because he was fired up, but if there's more to be said during the week about the incident then he ought to take it back.

Lloyd will go at the tribunal, he has to, especially after Franklin. However Campbell Brown had a half of footy to square up and did nothing. He immediately ran in after the Sewell incident and bravely (as the third man in) tried to confront Lloyd, and couldn't manage to get to him then, nor for the rest of the game. What makes him think he can fool us into the belief he has got it in him to do anything next season? Brown is a phony.

He was going to belt winderlich again but realised that licha wasnt being helped off the field injured by two trainers this time and might fight back.

Cambell BROWN has made it official, he is the dumbest prick in Football. He had half a game to 'Get Lloyd' but did nothing but slap Monfries on the shoulder. The GUTLESS COWARD then gets on radio and bags Lloyd. How brave to talk tough about what your going to do next time. He is a spineless piece of shit. What a contrast to the way Lloyd handled himself in the interview after the game. Pure class.

Brown had 2 qrts to do something to Lloyd. Instead he chose to delegate that task to Bateman, and sledge Lloyd through the media and behind closed doors.

He actually sledged Lloyd face to face and I havent seen a grown man shit himself as much as Lloyd did at 3 qtr time..
Lloyd knew it was his last game at half time, cant keep up with the pace of the game, nice way to go out..

Exactly my point. Words not actions, if actions then they're almost invariably cheap. Indicative of Hawthorn's unfailing weakness as an entire club.
Suck it up champ.

Remember Shoemakers' 'effort' to get Lloyd back? :D:D:D:D
Just jumped on top of him, gave away a free-kick which we ended up goaling from! :D:D:D:D

Did he threaten to slap Lloyd? I'm sure he's scared of a garden gnome with anger management issues (http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/hawk-in-court-on-damage-charges/2006/02/03/1138958910128.html). What a classy guy.

What are you all expecting Brown to do??? Just go up and punch him??? I'm sure if he got half a chance he would have made his presence felt. Anyone who has watched Brown play knows he never takes a backward step to anybody. He was concussed after being hit during the melee (whether deliberatly or not, he did get 4 stitches out of the melee), was angry as anything, probably not the best time to interview him. Him and Lloyd have history, with Lloyd getting him in the jaw during a 'shepherd', then Brown punching him a few times later in the game.
Brown is tough as they come and always puts his body on the line, let's not get silly here.

Absolutely agree with that. However, he shows no restraint and almost invariably throws in an elbow or two, along with other cheap, weak, mongrel acts.
Furthermore, I'd say from his words rather than actions that he is a fake, and is not the real tough guy that both he and your club promotes. For an individual of that calibre to question a champion like Lloyd is simply laughable. Clarkson too should also have learnt to show some restraint and maturity, but perhaps this just further exemplifies the fact that dishonesty, hypocrisy and cowardice permeate throughout your woeful little establishment.
Brown is tough as they come and always puts his body on the line, let's not get silly here.Please. He's as tough as Cameron Mooney.
He reminds me a lot of wrestlers in the WWE; really trying to convince everybody of how serious and how tough they are, but sadly only making themselves look silly.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw the footage of him running off with blood on his face, pointing and mouthing off to the Essendon players on the bench while walking away.
I've seen his type out at pubs many times; get beaten in the actual fight (evidenced by his bloody face), then putting on a 'huff and puff' show as they walk away tough-talking; usually saying something along the lines of "you're just lucky he's holding me back, mate."
He had a half to hurt Lloyd, even in a tackle; he was playing in the vicinity of him, yet chose to mouth off and do nothing about it. To use an old cliche, he talks the talk, yet cannot walk the walk.
The myth of Campbell Brown being an AFL hardman was exposed on August 29, 2009.
Weak, gutless prick.

I know it's your board and all, but sheez have a think about it.
Dustbin - you've shown three videos that are 'borderline' fair. The fact that those are reportable says more about the media portrayal of Brown than the man himself.
Brown is and has been one of the most couragous footballers of the last decade, with many instances of his extreme courage/stupidity. He's also shown he plays on the 'edge' of the rules - and has to live with the additional media scrutiny his heritage, and team brings.
I have no hesitation in calling Lloyd a sniper - but that is heavily coloured by the multitude of incidents involving him and Hawthorn players over the few games he's played. (He's tended to miss a fair few with one week 'injuries')
Lloyd broke Thurgood's jaw with a reinforced forearm brace. That alone is worse than any of the incidents above. He wasn't any closer to the contest than Brown in the ones above, yet managed to 'push' his arm through Thurgood's jaw.
Lloyd broke Brown's nose with a punch off the ball. Brown ran after Lloyd (who was heading to the bench) and was penalised with his retaliation.
Lloyd broke Sewell's cheekbone and eye-socket with a terrible bump on a player with his head down. A fraction of a second earlier, and he may have put him into a wheelchair. IMO this hit ranks up there with the Hall punch of last year (and could well have a similar effect on his career).
Lloyd punched Sammy in the nuts, hard enough Sam sat out most of the rest of the game.
One poster also suggested it was Lloyd that got Brown again yesterday, a high hit which apparently required six stitches (happened immediately after the Sewell hit). I haven't see that one though - I actually thought it was from another contest when Monfries came in late with the knees, but nothing has been said on that so I'm probably wrong.
=======
Brown was put in a no-win situation. Hawthorn players are 'fair-game', and he knows the media (and subsequently the MRP) will jump on any minor infraction - especially from a 'bad-boy' poster-player as Brown.

Brown needs a good hard look at himself. If he put as much enthusiasm into playing good football as he does in playing the tough guy then the Hawks may have made the finals.
His performance this year is one of the reasons the hawks have been so average. Weak as p#ss.

brown is tough, he wont take a backward step but lloyd never has either. i dont care if they have history or if he was angry what he said was incorrect no doubt about it and he should never have said it.
the fact is that brown himself can be labelled a sniper, i would label him "the biggest sniper in the game" actually, all yo uneed to do is look above for a few examples.
even if lloyd did mean everything he did (which he obviously didnt), brown has still done a lot worse.
he is a complete hypocrit

Correct it is our board. I've thought about it and it's a no brainer, Brown is not tough, he is a coward and a thug who has double standards. A bit like his coach.
Dustbin - you've shown three videos that are 'borderline' fair. The fact that those are reportable says more about the media portrayal of Brown than the man himself.
Borderline? Huh.
He could've tackled or at least bumped Wells with the elbow tucked in. Did neither. The Kreuzer one was weak, Brown absolutely shitted himself when comfronted by Cloke. The poor Irish guy had no chance, Brown just ran straight over the top of the ball and ironed him out.
Brown is and has been one of the most couragous footballers of the last decade, with many instances of his extreme courage/stupidity. He's also shown he plays on the 'edge' of the rules - and has to live with the additional media scrutiny his heritage, and team brings.
This view is only shared by Hawthorn. The rest of the football community know how much of a coward he is. This was confirmed yesterday.
I have no hesitation in calling Lloyd a sniper - but that is heavily coloured by the multitude of incidents involving him and Hawthorn players over the few games he's played. (He's tended to miss a fair few with one week 'injuries')
Do you know what the meaning of a sniper is? Look it up, whilst your doing that look up the word tool as well.
I have no hesitation in calling you a wanker (Sorry Whomb).
Lloyd broke Thurgood's jaw with a reinforced forearm brace. That alone is worse than any of the incidents above. He wasn't any closer to the contest than Brown in the ones above, yet managed to 'push' his arm through Thurgood's jaw.

You're an absolute peanut. Try comparing apples with apples. The Hall incident was off the ball, Lloyd's was in play. Yes Lloyd was wreckless, no doubt.
BTW, Sewell has a fractured cheekbone. ;) Doesn't require surgery.
Lloyd punched Sammy in the nuts, hard enough Sam sat out most of the rest of the game.
That wasn't Lloyd. ;)

Are you having a laugh? He attempted to take Wells out with an elbow. How is that borderline fair? It's far worse than a bump gone wrong. And what about the third vid in the international rules game? The other player wasn't even in possession, Brown takes him out deliberately (sniping at its best) and then runs off the field after he gets his yellow card and celebrates.
Campbell Brown: you are a disgrace, and a coward, and a hypocrite.

That hit on Wells was almost the same as Lloyd's, except he didn't raise the elbow and Wells isn't made of glass and gayness.

30 Aug 2009, 21:47
Re: Wells - reverse angle footage (whatever) showed negligible contact with Wells head. The fact that Wells was up within seconds of getting the free probably helped. TBH most other players wouldn't have even been cited.
The Kruezer one - again the front-on angle shows Kruezer running accross Brown's path (who was running straight at the ball). Brown turned away and tucked in before hitting him so fair enough for him to go.
Lloyd on Mitchell was a couple of seasons ago. Absolutely certain it was him, because I was filthy he didn't get reported for it. (It was in the same run where Kerr, Hunter, KCornes and someone from Kangaroos all got him within about 18 months).

Re: Wells - reverse angle footage (whatever) showed negligible contact with Wells head. The fact that Wells was up within seconds of getting the free probably helped. TBH most other players wouldn't have even been cited.
The Kruezer one - again the front-on angle shows Kruezer running accross Brown's path (who was running straight at the ball). Brown turned away and tucked in before hitting him so fair enough for him to go.
Lloyd on Mitchell was a couple of seasons ago. Absolutely certain it was him, because I was filthy he didn't get reported for it. (It was in the same run where Kerr, Hunter, KCornes and someone from Kangaroos all got him within about 18 months).
Come on mate, get your goggles off. Brown went for Wells, and luckily for Wells, the elbow missed. It was a deadset snipe attempt and shocking really.
Kruezer - you have got to be kidding that Kruezer moving into Brown's path was the reason for the collision. That's ridiculous! Geez it's not that hard to swerve to avoid contact in that situation. It was a bump in a contest and another aggressive brain-fade from the hypocrite.
We're not saying Lloyd is perfect but we're saying Campbell needs to look in the mirror before firing off accusations. He disgraced himself yesterday.

As Jack Dyer would say, CB is a good average player.
He's living on his dad's reputation so he needs all the smoke and mirrors he can generate to hold his position in the team.
He's a poor man's Max Rooke.
Would definitely not go that far. Max Rooke at least puts his head over the ball unfailingly, and is undoubtedly fair when he attacks the football or the body. He hits hard, and hits fairly.
Campbell Brown is a gutless little prick whose anger rules his game. He lacks control, reflects the mentality of a typical Hawthorn player, and stops at almost nothing to see his opposition hurt. Of course, this notably changes when he is scared of the opposition- ala Lloyd- and instead he resorts to projecting unsubstantiable claims to a festive media.
Hawthorn, just recognise that you had 2 quarters to get even with Lloydy if you ever will. Professing the near death of Lloyd next year, with full knowledge that he may not be playing, is gutless. As I have previously mentioned, you are a hypocritical piece of shit who have very little respect in the wider footballing community- you betray the tough image that you so desperately seek to profess with weak, immoral acts, and whining, obsequious ultimatums, as seen this weekend.
You heartless football club.

Look...he think he is 'incredible hulk' and was trying his best to see if he could change in to hulk. But the poor man couldn't. So he goes and slaps Monfries in the shoulder. hahahahah :D
He is dumb as a donkey. Read his below comments...
He said he expected Lloyd would be suspended for the clash.
"It’s for everyone to see … I was out there and I thought it was pretty similar (to Lance Franklin’s clash with Ben Cousins but) the match review panel will look after that."
Hahahahahaha So he is saying his best mate Buddy is a sniper. He thinks Richmond should go out and kill Buddy when they play each other next. And when him and his team were out there trying to get Buddy off suspension, he really wasn't trying to say that Buddy's hit was fair but rather he plays for Hawthorn therefore he should get off. :eek:
You stupid stupid boy.

I think he is a very ordinary player. He had 1 kick and 1 tackle after half time. I believe his comments after the game are a form of deflection, trying to sell the illusion that he is a "hard man" and not the fact that he couldn't get near the ball in the second half.
And that slap on Monfries. What a joke! Even Angus was laughing if you look closely enough at the footage.

Brown is typical of all bullies, if things don't go there way hey cry and run to their fathers. The media love refering him to tough guy, can they now temper that by showing that classic photo of him sooking. As much as I hate to say it I'm firmly in the Bombers camp on this one. I can't remember Lloyd taking any low shots on our players throughout his history (I may be wrong) but Brown's hit from behind on a young Kruezer who was 18, 6'7 and weighing 80 kilos at the time was a dog act. I was there and afterwards I could remember Brown strutting off as if he was the biggest dog in the yard and the media referring to him then as a tough man. I hope this now can be put to rest.

[B]HAWTHORN won plenty of respect for its pluck during its defeat by Essendon on Saturday.
But it lost even more in a few minutes of complete petulance after the game was over.
You would hope the cooler heads in the Hawthorn camp are feeling a little embarrassed at the moment about what happened after the match. Because the intemperance of a leading player and its coach certainly did the club no credit.

Dustbin - you've shown three videos that are 'borderline' fair. The fact that those are reportable says more about the media portrayal of Brown than the man himself.
Brown is 'borderline' footballer. Deadset useless on Saturday, slapping and sideline chest pounding aside. He's had an ordinary year and was a passenger in last year's premiership. I hope he plays on next year, because he makes Hawthorn a worse side.

Young kid in his first season playing on the Great Matty Lloyd; give him a break mate - that wasn't an attempted square up, that was just Schoenmakers getting beaten on the lead and clumsily trying to catch up.
FWiW, I hope Brown retracts his statements, because they're out of line and not correct - fair enough made in the heat of the moment, but in hindsight, I hope he's got the balls to admit he was wrong.

Just want to clear something up beneath all the hysterics and bias opinions from both sides. Brown shouldn't have said what he said, particularly with a history of whacking blokes like the Winderlich incident, he is in no position to label anyone anything. But, people saying that Brown isn't tough or courageous are off the mark. I find it staggering that people who have watched him play would say this, and frankly I don't think they even believe it. I not talking about punching people, im talking about putting your body on the line and going hard at the footy when it's your turn. Im not one of the embarrissing sooking Hawthorn supporters and this is my first post on the incident, and I don't even mind Lloyd's bump apart from the fact that it was against my team which disadvantaged us, not the bump itself. Hate Campbell Brown, call him a sniper if you like but I don't think anyone who has played the game or has any football knowledge honestly doubt's his courage.

I agree with you that he is a courageous player. But he embarrassed himself and his club carrying on like a bitch and making threats, which he then utterly failed to back up. He had half a game to square up, fly the flag, or whatever else he could have done. Instead he made a lot of noise and in between had, I think, one kick and one tackle. A pathetic effort, and one which Hawk supporters should be bagging him about.

You're a hollow individual.
Talking the tough game, love the misplaced image of being a tough guy, but realistically you're a weak little private school boy.
Very amusing to see him label someone else a sniper- you have been the biggest sniper in the game since you've been in it. Very good at the cheap shots, typical of a Hawthorn player, but not a great footballer.
Love the big talk to the Essendon bench- when you knew perfectly well that you would be shielded by your own- and the post match declaration- knowing perfectly well that you will probably never play Lloyd again. You had another 2 quarters to get even, but instead, you had little influence on the game.
Cop it sweet Hawks.

LOL @ Campbell Brown.
The tough players in the AFL go back with the flight of the ball, they put their noses over it when it needs to be won and they fight to the very end.
Brown ticks every one of those boxes.
The last time your football club was close to being competitive it was on the back of guys like Wallis, Hardwick, Barnard etc who may have mis-timed the odd bump (similar to Brown on Wells) but in general earned respect for their hardness.
Brown is in that category.
Brown is a premiership player, an All-Australian, an Australian representative and a Victorian representative. He is a quality player and person.
He was asked a question after the game and said what he felt. Good on him. Isn't the whole 'taking it one week at a time' type answer getting a little boring?
He had a tear in his eye - it shows how much it means to him to wear the jumper. You guys wont win another premiership until that kind of passion is there.
Although Essendon and Hawthorn will go nowhere near a premiership this year (you lasted a week longer than us I guess), we should be excited by what shapes as footballs biggest rivalry. We both have promising young lists and we will no doubt meet each other in some massive contests.
His comments showed up what a sore loser he and his coach are.

Lloyd will go at the tribunal, he has to, especially after Franklin. However Campbell Brown had a half of footy to square up and did nothing. He immediately ran in after the Sewell incident and bravely (as the third man in) tried to confront Lloyd, and couldn't manage to get to him then, nor for the rest of the game. What makes him think he can fool us into the belief he has got it in him to do anything next season? Brown is a phony.
campbell brown= biggest wanker in the AFL, what a show he put on on the boundary line yelling at his own player to hurry up so he could get at lloyd then basically shit himself....if he had any go he would have snotted lloyd like he was carrying on that he was going too....probably for fear of lloyd smashing his face in too....ha ha ha ha god i hate hawthorn thanks for beating them up guys! they fluked the GF last year anyway

Exactly. 100% agree with you. However, I'll complete the true depiction of a tough player in the areas that you've clearly failed:
-Does not king hit his opposition
-Does not betray his professed courage with cowardice
-Does not throw elbows, knees or the likes upon unsuspecting players
-Does not inherently provide double standards for his own disgraceful actions with relation to the actions of others
Unfortunately, such criteria sees 95% of the Hawthorn list eliminated from being classified as "tough".
Jonathon Brown is tough.
Joel Selwood is tough.
James Hird was tough.
Campbell Brown is entirely concerned with the superficial elements of his game, and his words and laughable actions highlighted the true contradiction of his Scotch College, private school boy nature. He will never be tough.

I don't think anyone questions the way Brown plays.
It was the complete double standard that annoyed me. Brown plays the game hard but has also got a record of belting blokes so it was hradly appropriate for him to be throwing stones from within his glass house.
Buddy got his 2. Lloyd got his 4 and the Fat Controller got his way in continuing to remove the physical eliment fron the game.

The thing is, you never heard a word out of those guys, whether they were knocking people down or getting knocked over themselves. They played hard, but were pretty clinical in the way they did it.
Brown alienates himself from non-Hawks supporters with the whole "biggest peacock in the pen" bravado. His huff and puff are tiring, and opening his mouth to the media simply provides proof of his hypocricy and weaknesses. Guys like Hardwick and the Johnsons didn't need to pump out their chest constantly at the opposition just to remind the fans how tough they were. I for one don't believe the chest beating is all for the opposition in Browns case. It's for those watching in the stands and on telly ... "look at me, look how bloody tough I am" ... it's getting old Campbell, you need a new trick, because your game isn't keeping up with your mouth and you're getting found out on the field by those players a bit too talented for you.
And no, in keeping with this, I don't doubt his courage, in fact I think he has had a self preservation bypass at times, but is that enough to be a good to great footballer? Maybe 20 years ago, but these days he is getting found out and is desperately trying to find other ways to stay relevant in the modern game. He is an anachronism in todays footy.
I remember the days when Dipierdomenico, Ayres, Brereton, Duckworth, Andrews, Merrett etc bashed the crap out of each other - but there was no complaining to the media.

The captain and smokey oh! short memory
Watson, Stoneham, Van Der Haar
Brownys hit on young Licha short memory
The story of Al Clarskon, the battle of Britain
Draw a line in the sand short memory
Short memory, must have a, short memory
Shoo-oo-oo-rt memory
