Was he still injured? Couldn't take a mark in front of goal, couldn't kick a goal.

You watching a different game, cuz?

Every shot at goal I saw went about 20 m to the left of where it should have.

Really? I thought he was solid, worked his way in to the game. 2.1 and 7 marks. Most influential key forward on the ground, again.

What game were you watching?

He was solid.

Yeah probably a bit harsh. Just thinking of all those marking contests with two swans all over him.

Rather browny today upfront than Petrie daw thomas ziebell anderson.

 

[tazaa]

Think back to the Essendon final, I'm much more confident when he leads to the left pocket even though it's the opposite side for a right footer.
Suits his kicking action.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Good player this bloke. A nightmare for defenders one on one

 

[Roo Beauty]

First quarter was sex. His strength has really improved. After the first he went quiet, which speaks more about the shit delivery and pressure the midfield served up.

Which is why they grab and hack him.

Fair dinkum gets no love from the umps.

Has been a gun this season. Love him.

****ing Heath Shaw took out his legs in that marking contest after the grouse kick from Anderson. One of the smartest non-free kick free kicks I've ever seen. Would've liked to see him end up with a bag but he was a shining light last night.

That was a text book case of why Waite would have taken that mark. He would have stuck out the leg and Shaw would not have got close. Needs to use his body more and learn from his team
Mates.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

He would have kicked five if he had gotten 50 metres for the two times he was dragged down late after marking.

I was so pissed of with those last night. That's what the rule is for FFS, not the pedantic rubish like the 10m rule.

 

[Viper2Jester]

Future Captain?

Leads by example, humble, speaks extremely well.

I hope it might be considered one day if his career keeps elevating

 

[shintemaster]

Has been in exceptional form the last couple of months. Gives some confidence heading into finals and 2017. I'd like to see a bit more nasty in him but I suspect he simply won't ever be that type. Hopes on McKay to be that player. If we can get Daw on a treadmill for 6 months straight he might be able to be the wrecking ball, certainly doesn't hesitate to smash bodies when he can.

 

[tazaa]

When he and Shaw were one on one isolated inside 50 and Shaw went to ground and took out Ben, I was ****ing livid.
Would have ran into an open goal.

Apologies to those around me for the language

 

[The Big H]

Should of also been awarded a free on the goal square for front on contact. Was an energy sapper that on as well.

 

[SMaturin]

Phil Davis was giving him a full body rub in every marking contest.

 

[Moti]

Good player this bloke. A nightmare for defenders one on one

Really? Almost unstoppable on the lead and if he gets the stretch but isn't much chop in body contests. Getting better year on year though so hopefully next year will be an even bigger threat.

Seen him extend and clunk em more regularly one on one recently. Made Davis look second rate at times last night.

I think David worked him out, hence the 2nd half dropped away. Borderline legal of course but once a bit of body is put on him from the side he struggles to reset. Still only 23 and has been better each year so no reason why he can't tick that off next year.

Yep, borderline tunneled a couple of times, opponents hanging off every limb, still no love from the umps, would like to see him get a bit of shit in his game at some stage and rag doll a few defenders at some stage, but that may take a another season or 2 in the gym.

Props to you for getting the ''grouse'' in there also, haven't heard that for a while!!

If that was the one LT pumped in from around the 50 at the cheer squad end, i agree, bullshit umpiring

Correct what you're saying but they are 2 different players with different attributes etc.....Brown has a certain skill set and he works hard with what he has.
