Yes.
That's literally what our head of football Brady Rawlings decided.
Hmmm, who to believe, Brady Rawlings, or MAIL dreamed up by some internet dudes lol.
The medical department can definitively judge what Brown’s knee is going to be like in three years, but can’t manage their way out of a paper bag wrt player availability?
As LTK said, I’m sure the knee had a part to play, but it sure a sh*t wasn’t the only thing that had him out the door.
If it was the only issue, they’d have kept him.
And if he were 24 again right now, on track to kick our first tonne since Malcolm Blight, we would be giving him all the time he needs for whatever off field sh*t he wants to do.
It was his knee.
Whatever, this is simply factually incorrect.
You can believe MAIL from BigFooty if you wish.
I'll stop here, it is ruining the Will Philips thread.
Thought Philips actually went OK for a debut in a shitty game.
He'll be better for the run.
Im not going through this again. He’s gone and I really couldnt give a stuffNo, true.
The whole "Browns off field views made us chuck him" bullshit falls down at the very first hurdle which is that Brown's off field views mirror the club's stance to a tee,.
Brutal first game to be apart of but great learning experience when the shoes on the other foot, once you sniff blood, go for the jugular.Thought Philips actually went OK for a debut in a shitty game.

I did too. He hit targets and was not overwhelmed. He hit packs hard and even put his body on the line. A perfect replacement for cunners. I didnt watch live (first home game ive missed since I can remember) so I couldnt grasp how quick he is. Would have been good to see if he was as quick as LDU as others suggestThought Philips actually went OK for a debut in a shitty game.

Some mail on BigFooty is wrong, of course, but some is corroborated by solid outside (BigFooty, not the club) sources.
But I'll stop here as well.
He’s a good 5 inches taller than Caleb Daniel. Phillips and Rowell are about the same high, 1.78 if I recall correctly. When you are in an under ball winner, height wont matter too muchShowed some good traits.
Is a little shorter than I expected. Was dwarfed by most of not all of the dogs mids.
I think a balanced way to put it would be there was certainly some friction off field, and his age/knee/awful form meant the club wasn't prepared to overlook it.
Why anyone would be comparing Victoria draftees to kids that played a full season in 2020 right now is beyond me, too. There's a reason Powell has adapted quicker and it's not because he's more talented than Will.
Off topic, last one from me. If you told me we could swap Ben for Stepho, I would have in a heartbeatBen was great at some of the basics and failed at others, one simple rule as a key forward, you don’t let your direct opponent out mark you..
nothing to do with knee, outside beliefs, yada yada. We were going through a rebuild and we needed to find more rounded footballers, that we could build a game plan around. Unfortunately Ben wasn’t that man, so we move on, no hard feelings.

Caleb Daniel is a seagull who teams need to learn to exploit.
Smart footballer though.
Its changed a few times since he was drafted. Ive looked at this a few times. It was 1.78 just looked again and it says 1.8. Appears as though no one knows1.81m.
Yeh, if only LDU bounced the ball you could almost jump the hobbit and he’d be done for trippingAt his size, he can only be a seagull. But as you point out, being a smart footballer with elite disposal skills makes him a very effective seagull.
I agree with the poster from a couple of days ago who said LDU should have just run through him rather than trying to go around. I reckon teams should start doing this - telling players to run straight through Daniel - and he'll be less effective as the games go on.

This exact moment went through my head when I typed it
