Wow end of a era for a great of the game, awesome player and will be a big loss to the AFL and to the Lions.

A relative of Jonathon.

Great career Browny! True champ and an absolute gun!

 

[master bate]

End of the year or immediately?

End of the year or immediately?

End of year but he thinks Leppa might tell him to go immediately.

 

[Mofra]

Gun, but not really a surprise - nobody could see him going on next year.

 

[TerryWallet]

Had to happen.

Poor bloke just can't run or jump or chase.

Caught in a bad situation as a Club Leader at the end of last year.

Probably wanted to retire but couldn't join the exodus.

Rock and a hard place.

 

[Shane Hird]

Should've done it at the end of last season.

But in saying that..he's a legend...massive, huge legend of the game..and so on and so forth.

 

[Forever North]

Really felt for him last week watching him play. A shadow of his former self, it was embarassing. Pointless carrying on.
Still, a true legend of the game and an all round good bloke. All the best to him.

 

[Impunity!]

He's no Drew Petrie but still a solid forward, congratulations Jonathan Brown on a decent career.

 

[Dom PC]

Not sure this is thread worthy if he is retiring at the end of the year. Hardly ground breaking news.

 

[Jaeger]

He's no Drew Petrie but still a solid forward, congratulations Jonathan Brown on a decent career.

Shouldn't be mentioning them in the same sentence.

Well done Browny

Her ?

 

[Quivorir]

2 years too late.

 

[Squadron82]

Pity he couldn't play on for one more season, but all good things must come to a end.

 

[Carlo]

Hope Essendon look at him.

 

[andrew23]

A terrible season for the Lions continues.

 

[ManOfClay]

Hope Essendon look at him.

Trolling?

He's been about as effective as Jake Carlisle this year.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Is it actually confirmed?

 

[Slax]

End of year but he thinks Leppa might tell him to go immediately.

Now that is just trolling.

The crazy thing is this isn't news, it has been known for 6 months that this was going to be his last season and would've taken a remarkable turn around in his form and body to change this. His body is falling apart in the same way we've seen others before him who played in a similar vein do. Don't know a single Brisbane fan who thought he would go on after this season.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Trolling?

He's been about twice as effective as Jake Carlisle this year.

Agree.

Assumed the rumour part being highlighted was Brown retiring imminently( days, weeks). If Leppa or Brown are about to make that call, then more power to them.

Best for all could be the only presumption one could make.
