He took some awesome contested marks this week. Loved it.

Gave him a clip last week for his ability to be outbodied against the number one defender.

He learnt his stock this week. Held his ground and competed all day, bought the footy to ground and allowed the smalls to get involved.

Clearly the input of Waite helped, just hope that can be McKay in the future

All the media are frothing over 'young gun' Joe Daniher, but guess who also kicked 5 this week and also has 26 goals for the season?

7th in the race for the Coleman (equal 6th) is BBB.

Browny is starting to look like he really belongs on the forward line.

A couple of great contested grabs and a great game all round. 7 contested possessions, if that includes marks he still had 5 loose ball contested possessions on the forward line.

In a game that I thought was going to say much- it ended saying a lot- great all round game from Benny. Attacked the contest hard and looked likely every time he went near it.

BBB better than Vickery.

Just saying.

Mate this guy looked like he belonged in our forward from the day we drafted him

To me he always looked like a work in progress, until recently. Mind you a very good work in progress who was as good around his feet as in the air and 2m tall. So far he's been stronger in contests and more of a presence this year. Two hauls of over 5 goals helps too. Forwards get judged by the score on the board and kicking over five is part of their job requirement imo. He's doing that now and our 3 wins this year have all come on the back of 5 goal+ hauls from him and W80. Its not his forward line till he's kicking regular five goal hauls. Once he starts doing that he starts to own it.

He was always a good player with the potential to be a great player and I think he might have taken a few steps down that road now. If he keeps this up he could kick 50 or 60 goals this year. Maybe more. He's averaging nearly 3 a game at the moment and will have equaled his second highest tally for a season before the halfway mark if he has another big haul next week.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Has always had the ability to get his couple of goals every week, even when having a stinker. Has now added the odd big bag too, and should kick 55+ this year. Gun.

 

[Caracas]

Once we structure up to allow BB to lead up to the ball, Benny will always manage 6/7 shots at goal. It's just a matter of accuracy after that and he goes pretty well in that area. However, when we lose our shape like last week, he looks all at sea because he can't lead up.

Where else would he belong?

The most underrated KPF in the comp - currently on pace to kick 64 goals for the season which would be an incredible season and already ahead of Petrie's best. If he can continue to improve his contested marking, there will be little to stop him as he'll always provide a contest and at the very least get the ball down to the ground for his small forwards, mark, or draw a free kick (when umps start to respect him!)

 

[ferball]

Until this year he hadn't kicked a bag of five. That is compulsory for a KPF imo.

Before he did that there were still question marks over what he was actually capable of.

One of these Coleman Medal leaders is not like the others:

Kennedy - Given up in Chris Judd trade
Cameron - on ~800k a year
Betts - Free agent on ~700k
Tom Hawkins - F/S bargain, could have been #1 pick
Buddy - on $1m a year
Daniher - F/S, but could have been #1 pick and the second coming of Jesus, Mohammad, Gary Ablett, Nelson Mandela and Beyonce rolled into one.
Ben Brown - pick 47 on absolute peanuts

You forgot to mention "plays for NMFC".

 

[Heaps of fun]

Anyone else notice how good his pressure work was on Sunday? Never seen him bustling around the 50 and hassling defenders like that. If he could improve that part of his game he'd be a complete player.

 

[KiwiRoo]

he looks like 2 giraffes mating when he runs which is so deceiving as very coordinated & skilled
what will he be like with a preseason or 2 under his belt ?

Some of his crumbing goals have been as good as anything anyone else has done that week and barely rate a mention in the regular goal of the week highlight packages every media organisation comes out with.

Totally agree
Can you imagine the publicity if he played for Collingwood and they'd got him in the draft for sweet fanny adams like we did ?
