First, Tom Hanks... Apollo 13. Loved it.

Second, only because it's his player thread, Ben Brown...

Hey guys sorry to intrude but found out a great stat today and wondering if you are aware of it.

Ben Brown needs 9 goals for 100 career goals and it would make him the player wearing the highest number to kick 100 AFL/VFL goals.

Good luck for this season.

That's brilliant.

 

[mikey127]

That's brilliant.

Currently 45 is the highest number to achieve this done by both Cameron Ling and Ricky Jackson in that number

Not in people's round 1 teams but i suspect off his VFL game he will be.

He and Waite, with quality terriors like LT, Turner and Simpkin around with Higgins pure class is pretty exciting.

If he gets through I reckon he will play. At worst, he keeps a WC defender honest. With Woood out and McKay not ready, Waite would get triple teamed.

Brown underdone is a better option than a fully fit Majak.

 

[Horizons_00]

Brown is a gun and he has played injured pretty much his entire career lol

He comes in for sure

It's true but Goldstein needs a chop out of some kind and it shouldn't continue to be Brown.

It has to be Brown.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Brown is underdone. He'll play.

 

[Heaps of fun]

It has to be Brown.

It's not good for us and it's not good for Brown. We have to try something else. Daw needs to improve as a forward or we play him in a different role. McKay should be training as a back up ruck but I haven't seen any evidence of this. Wish we had of had the ability to draft Two Metre Peter.

 

[shniko11]

Yeah after what i've seen from Daw all Brown needs to do is get through the game and he'll play round 1.

 

[tazaa]

Was annoying watching Maj keep being lead under the ball. Mother****er hold your ground and earn a free. Frustrating as hell.

[king of the road]

By the sound of this - he'll play next week. Good.

Also exciting to hear Anderson is coming back strong too.

Reading about Brown and Daw I for one would always play Brown ahead of Daw. Although not in the ruck, actually feel Boomer would be a better ruck option than Brown.

Interestingly we ( NMFC) have been working hard on Brown not getting pushed under the ball which happens countless times per match. The interesting component is no one around here tends to see that happen with Brownie.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Looking bigger. Love for him to go nuts and kick 60 this year.

I don't think Brown or Daw is the equation to be fair.

Get him to watch waithey. The way he protects his space is very good.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

All three will play. No doubt.

 

[roojor]

All three will play. No doubt.

Brown is a smart footballer knows were to lead to and gets in the right spots wouldn't say he was that great today but to be fair he has had no preseason. Maj took some great grabs when he is allowed a free run at the ball, come to the conclusion he is never going to be great one on one is more aggressive when the ball hits the ground
