Delisted #24: Alex Browne - Now at Northern Blues - Retired from footy - 2/5

[BrunoV]

If Browne is named sub over NOB my TV may become accidently on purposely broken.

Nick O'Brien may just be the player who is least suited to being a sub on an AFL list including ruckmen!

Whilst I realise that, he is pretty much the least suited in the 22 to be playing at AFL level as well.

saviors come and saviors go..... but if we keep playing these kids and finding out they dont have it.. will have no savior left

It's great isn't it?

We all got fooled into thinking that the look toward the next generation was also part of an acknowledgement about the types of players you need if you are going to be a good team, and yet I'm here as pissed off with the selections as I've been at any time I can remember.

We're playing our All Australian key defender forward, refusing to select a second ruck (when we don't have that or a second key forward target) seemingly to play Steinberg who, as much as I respect his VFL performances, has about as much chance as I do of being an AFL standard key defender, playing O'Brien as a midfielder who could not win a meaningful clearance to save himself, holding on to Howlett who has the same problem and have now dropped Kav never having given him a run as the centre square midfielder he was drafted to be.

I am trying desperately to understand but I can't seem to get there.

Too harsh. He's not that bad, he's simply a player who magnifies every deficiency we have as a team and therefore someone we should not be wasting our time with.

Nah surely Kommer takes that award.

Have had this bloke aa a spare defender in my afl fantasy team for the last 4 weeks. Really happy for the both of us that he's finally getting a game.

I like how vetsatile he is, as a winger as well as a good rebounding half-back flanker. And i think there's reason to hope he can eventually improve his inside game and become a more even player too.

Considering it's his first game since 2012, what are we expecting?

30 disposals, 7 marks and 5 goals.

In all honesty I'd take 20 disposals and a goal.

At least 3 brownlow votes, maybe more.

30 disposals, 7 marks and 5 goals.

In all honesty I'd take 20 disposals and a goal.

Would be a great result, I'd think closer to 12-15 touches, maybe a goal assist.

 

[2one2]

I want him to kick more of those snaps that go 60m in the air. Even if he's taking a set shot

Get through unscathed

 

[BrunoV]

I take it that it 'just' concussion?

The meds were just talking to him, not looking at anything else so it doesn't look like anything physical.

HT: Essendon 3.4.22 trail the Demons 3.9.27. Still a very scrappy game of footy. Day over for @AlexBrowne24 who has suffered a concussion.


footy is just ******* cruel at times

Got smashed in a sling tackle.

 

[DT2000]

so unfair, hopefully a speedy recovery and back out there.

 

[Doss]

On a brighter note, that was the first win at senior level that Alex has ever played in!

The Alex Browne Effect is finally broken.

Amazing to think he was taken the same draft as Heppell, and Heppell was captaining his first game for the club while Browne played his first win!

Got smashed in a sling tackle.

So the MRP rule of thumb is?

Injury = suspension? How many does the tackler get?

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Hird say he might need a week off....................

Heppell captained the other game without Watson this year, so no.
