Brown

[big d]

Lacks a ticker to play AFL. There are a few of his type that are being carried along and it's more about the coach / match committee that refuses to acknowledge this and continues to play him that I have a bigger issue with.

One 'second effort' input over 4 quarters is the only real impact he had yesterday. Should be banished to the two's immediately.

Prob need to him to do something so we can get something for trading him at the end of the year...no club will want him if seen as a discard and we wont get much for him; if that is other clubs want to take him on

I'll say this til I'm blue in the face - he's no good.
Too slow for defence, too small for ruck, not good enough overhead to play in attack.
He has no role to play.
He was a good junior footballer because he had a mature body and could use that to dominate.
Now he's playing against other strong bodies and has nothing else to fall back on.
His disposal is sound, but he is slow and only going to get slower. That is why Freo was happy to trade him.
I would love to be proved wrong, as he is a great bloke, but I can't see how he can turn his career around.

Geez.

Tad harsh there TAS. Browny is only in his second year with us and as a big bloke he's going to take his time developing. What would help is if he got to play one position for a while. He looks best filling the hole down back, then bursting off halfback. But he does need to work on throwing his bulk into packs and not drifting in and out of games. I think he can prove good value if he gets a chance to settle. He's big, not injury prone and shows a bit. I think we need to wait and see where he is at next year - like half our team it seems.

And if Bruce tears us up one more time.....

Some good comments here too.

Couldn't agree with me more on that one.

Mate there is no doubting you.

Hopefully Papa Gede can possess Brown and turn him into the player he should be.

Scotty he always has the "green green grass to fall back on".
If great blokes made good footballers, you and I would have one a brownlow by now.
