Past #50: Ben Brown - Traded to Melbourne with 2020 #28 + 2021 R4 for 2020 #26 #33 + 2021 R4(Bris) - 130 gms / 287 gls - thanks Ben

[The Big H]

He's had persistent calf problems. I reckon they'll rest him for next week, get him right for the run home, bring in Daw or Black

No way, not in Hobart!

 

[Rod Stroker]

No way, not in Hobart!

Shouldn't matter where it's played. They need to prioritise his fitness and team success, over him playing less than fit in front of his home crowd.

 

[Deadeyeroo]

He'll play.

 

[Arden]

That split-second handball to Boomer streaming past on the half-back flank. Guhhh…..

 

[utility]

Don't know what his stats were today but he was physically imposing when the ball got near him... just wasn't clunking them as usual.

 

[WA ROO]

Needs to play every game he is fit enough to play
Doesn't look like a footballer/athlete but will be one hell of a footballer

Agree, I wouldn't play him this week if not 100%.

Give a fit Daw another go

Why he's a ruckman resting forward, thats it.

 

[Northtobeunited]

Play Brown next week as his are best forward

 

[LuvtheKangas]

he's our?

 

[Shinbonermagic]

If he needs a rest we should give it to him because the games only get bigger and more important from here, if we are going to do anything this year we need a fit and firing BBB.

 

[TwentyNine]

Loves putting on a show for the home crowd, love to see him tear the Saints apart today.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Has kicked 25.13 this season.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

The thing I like most about Ben is his smarts. The guy always makes the smart, team option. Top 5 smarts perhaps at the club.

 

[Twinkletoes]

A couple of blokes I know on faceache ran into BBB in downtown Hobart yesterday arvo, and they asked him if he'd be having a rest this weekend to get the leg right. "No bloody way, I'm playing and the leg's fine. I love playing down here."

He's playing (according to that).

Well Benny Brown turned up, not sure he played.

Eight disposals,1 mark, zero tackles and two hitouts- might find himself majaked next week.

Yeah, he played like a man who should have been rested.

Yep and here's another example of why some posters get frustrated with the MC and Brad Scott.

 

[Roo Beauty]

There is absolutely no way he gets dropped for Majak this week.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Largely unsighted quite a few people in the crowd asking where he was throughout the game.

Looked tentative at best in the contest.

Even warming up he seemed to favour the leg.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Wasn't right.

 

[naturally north]

There is absolutely no way he gets dropped for Majak this week.

No he won't get dropped and no one mentioned Majak. Might have been nice if Ben was fresh fro the important clash against Freo though. I mean you'd think we'd have the cattle to get over lowly St Kilda?

I agree, he was poor yesterday and should've been rested but we can't risk meddling with the forward structure this close to finals, especially against the best defensive team in the league. Not to mention Majak struggles when he plays.

Majaked isn't referring to Majak more the system we use when judging our talls. Clearly an eight disposal, one mark, two hitout, zero tackle game = can't plat AFL and should be delisted.

Apologies, I had no idea what you meant by 'majaked', I assumed it was a direct reference to him.
