Browne to Debut

[The Coach]

Watched Browne last week in the Ants and was quite impressed. Had a tagging job and did quite well. Good Luck to the kid, hopefully he can play in a first up win

Maybe that is why I did not notice him - tagging in the 2's is a worry

They've made the right moves. VERY happy to see Hartlett in the team. Bentick is very unlucky. Got to feel for him really.

As he is my man, I will put it bluntly - it would seem as though Carlton owed it to AB to trade him last year, they are certainly treating him like crap.

Is Browne coming in to get a job on Andrew McLeod? Tough way to debut if it is.

Can't think of anyone elso to play on McLeod!

Good luck to Browne....i thought he was agood pick up after the draft!!! and he is just more natural than Armfield at the moment....

Would Grigg be set for this after the game on the unaccountable Shaw a few weeks back!! McLeod is very similar, runner off half back and doesn't care for his opponent??

Really is fantastic to see.

All changes to the side this week are good ones and I can't wait to see them in action on Saturday.

Go Browney!

When did that last happen @ Carlton???

Possibly Gibbs last year in round 1 vs Richmond.

Bentick is done. Slow, crap skills, no good.

"Can't act, can't sing, can dance a little".

Legend has it, Fred Astaire's first audition assessment. Understand this isn't AB's first performance but perhaps there's a message there for us all.

 

[Korn]

I am extremely happy with those chances, Good luck Browne!

 

[Silvagnis]

Jackson must really be on the outer when Walker, Bannister and Houlihan are injured and Browne gets promoted for his first game. Ryan's chances of staying on the list aren't looking good ATM if he can't even make the emergencies ahead of Armfield and Bentick.

Yeah. There was speculation about him perhaps heading off to Sydney but that never eventuated.

He's an AFL standard player, too good for the VFL.

 

[The Coach]

Bentick is done. Slow, crap skills, no good.

Come on. If they were picking The Bullants for no other reason than to win, he gets a game well before Browne.

Did someone write you off at 22 or are a long way off 22?

Before you reply, remember he is not some Collingwood player you are bagging but a member of the Carlton family who at the age of 21 finished 8th in our B&F last year

Drop this ridiculous Russell escapade for crying out loud. He's playing his role every week, what more can you ask? Bentick just doesn't fit into the side, especially with Hadley in this year.

the call for russell's head is justified he may be doing his job but I would still prefer to see Armfield in the side... he has equal attributes of russell but his 2nd and 3rd efforts are much better and his courage is ten fold better...

however good luck to brownie, and to Harts... hopefully he can begin to shine for us and final repay the believers and become a genuine CHF for us!

Jackson played first round if i remember correctly and played all pre-season games and looked to be apart of Rattens plan. Unfortunately at this stage he can't work his way in.

He's not in danger of anything - he's only a kid! How can you make those sorts of claims?

Bentick is done. Slow, crap skills, no good.

Because he's been playing in the reserves he's done? He's far from possesses 'crap skills'. That's just ridiculous. He's finding it hard due to Hadley being in the side. That's it!

Why do people think that because mids are playing in the two's that they aren't up to standard? Look at our starting midfield! It's called depth. They're only young still! Bentick is 22 and Jackson is 21. I think we all forget about this. There's still improvement to be had.

Good ins.

Gibbs has taken the grunt role,
in the guts.

Hartlett is being given his chance,
gotta put the aggro at the ball.

Browne, never seen,
should be interesting.

Seem to be working the list into a bit of depth now.

Selection of Number 2 is confusing.

 

[Blue Dawn]

VERY pleased with this week's changes. All the very best of luck to Brownie but i've a feeling he won't really need it.

 

[Thrawn]

It's on the house guys.

Good luck to Browne on Saturday, I hope he rips 'em a new one.

that actually looks half decent...

cup of tea is due now

 

[Thrawn]

I'll take some to the game and eat one for every possession he gets!

god help your waist line should he have a debut like Walker!

Memories of my dad in The Corner Hotel thinking it might be a good idea to have a beer for every goal we kicked in the 72 GF.

 

[HBF]

Imagine there are some butterflies in the stomach right now.....good luck Brownie

Forget about Browney, how are you feeling Gilly?
You called Browne a fair bit prior to the draft last year.

 

[BlueBelle]

How did you know? BIG game Satty!

Because he knows everything!

Keep up!

Yeah I saw that except Guns was tongue in cheek

Happy with the ins and outs, all things considered. Browne sounds like a very exciting prospect, hopefully he has a good one.
