manager may be banking on (or knowing) that free agency eligibility will be reduced so timing his next deal with when he expects him to be eligible?
Or maybe Brown feels his game is on the rise so 2 years is a comfortable term that allows him to negotiate from a stronger position after 2 years of further development.
Id suggest bit of both of these factors at play

Another very handy signature, I like it. I can't help but notice that pretty much every signing is spouting the "Team First" mantra, not sure whether to read anything into the Danger situation with that or not.
Like this. It just further reinforces that AFC has turned a corner after all the years of doom and gloom. Perhaps the club will soon be in a position to been a destination club. Yes I know we will need to do better on the field first but their is a change in the air at the AFC.
Not really,
Considering we had from memory around 27 players coming out of contract this year.
If anything, after a slow start the pace of signings will probably continue like this for most of the next few months.
Probably still a dozen or so to be signed plus delistings.

may need to have another read!
7 goals in 12 games this year i believe was the stat (although we are yet to play 12 games this year I'm sure that was just lazy journalism not factoring in the bye)
Laird is a level above Brown.Surprised it is only 2 years, considering he's comparable to Laird in age, hometown and potential, but Laird gets a year longer?
Very happy with this one though, he's a quiet achiever and has been pretty solid. He's well on his way to becoming a 200+ gamer for us.
Different defenders... brown is lock down.. laird is not of that type and when sando tried to play him in that role he didnt do too well... glad we have both though... brown is very underrated imho.

Currently he is, yes, in the last 12 games, but it could be argued that Brown has been consistent for longer.
Not saying Laird didn't deserve his contract, he definitely did, I just thought Brown would be getting around the same.

Nah, they play different roles. Laird more creative, Brown lock down.Currently he is, yes, in the last 12 games, but it could be argued that Brown has been consistent for longer.

Brown weighs 89kg? No idea where he's hiding all that weight

I believe that be some lazy readin'
Brown, 22, is a key part of Adelaide’s young backline. He routinely stands the best small forwards in the competition and has conceded only seven goals to his direct opponents in 11 games this season.
Recruited from SANFL club Norwood as part of a trade with Greater Western Sydney in 2011, Brown has played 57 AFL games including the past 44 in succession. He hasn’t missed a match since Round 11, 2013.
Lairds first season was better than Browns, Lairds second was as good as Browns and his third is a level above Browns. Laird is pushing for an AA spot, Brown isnt.Currently he is, yes, in the last 12 games, but it could be argued that Brown has been consistent for longer.

Laird will be getting paid more than Brown.

Perhaps I should've quoted Cleric.

far enough, i read it this morning and knew it was a goals this season quote, jus assumed that the "since 2012" was a misreading of them possibly saying 12 instead on 11. In that case, not sure where the Barneythecrab got his mistake from!
This is an opinion based on simply watching the last 3 years. Brown is very very good in a 1 on 1 contest even against the best small forwards. Rarely loses them.
I think Laird is good, but have seen him struggle 1 on 1 more often.
If Laird played the amount of time on the best small forward like Brown does, then we could compare goals against.
Browny!!!!
