Brown

[Bartram_Class]

Has to be dropped in my opinion. Had a fantastic year last year but thus far this season has been pretty awful, you coudnt even call his performances inconsistent because hes hardly had a good game.

He is very often run down or pressured into a turnover. I also think his decision making this year has been very poor because he is often very loose on his opponents who he isnt giving enough respect.

A run at Sandy would do him good as we all know he has the skills to play at a very high standard week in, week out. With Bell and Ward ready to come back in as a replacement, we would not lose much at all and Brown would be able to get his season back on track in time for the finals.

brown - bell possibly

I've been saying for a while now that's he's overrated. It's all good and well to get 20 easy kicks every week, but most of them go straight to the opposition.

He is also incapable of holding a good small defender.

Drop him.

 

[melbournemartin]

thats his main problem he cant stop a small defender. i dun mind his runs from half back through the middle but he needs to be more acountable

he isnt in our main leadership group is he? i forgot

i reckon for next week nicho may play cos they will have Lade but i'd prefer fergeson play on him. rivers will take tredrae i hope. KEEP MILLER THE ******** AWAY FROM HIM

 

[dees_best]

Drop him.

Has a lot fo heart but he annoys the hell out of me with his dismal kicking and poor decision making.

Has given away stupid goals every week this season.

Nathan Brown is crucial to the success of your team. He provides so much run from defence. Sure he turns the ball over occasionally, but how often do you see him running out of defence and creating oppertunities for the forwards? He isn't that unaccountable. I actually thoguht the game against the Crows was probably his best, where he played about half the game on the wing, kicking two goals.

 

[The Shev]

Yes he does provide run Drummond, but at the same time it's no use getting the ball if you can't use it properly. He makes too many clangers and make poor decisions. I wouldn't midn if he was dropped, giving an opportunity to Ward or Bell.

 

[StingaArmstrong]

Sometimes i get the feeling the opposition actually let Brown get the ball because he turns it over or his delivery into the forwardline are up and under balls rather than low stab passes to a lead. I know if I was on the opposition i'd want Brown delivering it to our forwards. Having said that, i can not fault his courage and hardness at the ball...but he still should be looking to pass to someone who can actually give the forwards a chance.

 

[davey_magik]

Runs very hard and has heart as dees_best said but I agree with you all, his disposal has been abysmal. If we could go back to the Collingwood game, I remember he baulked about 3 opponents running through the centre then when about 70 out tried this **** chip pass to Miller on the lead when Miller was 15m away.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

DROP HIM NOW.

 

[Jimi]

DROP HIM NOW.

who for?

 

[The Shev]

Drop him for Bell. Or if McLean comes back in. And why aren't we giving Ferguson a go?

Again, another match where he had too many skill errors, mostly under pressure.

 

[davey_magik]

Drop him for Bell. We lose some run but Bell is good holding a small forward and I really want to see this kid keep developing. He's got great body strength and will develop into a very strong midfielder. Also get rid of Heffernan and Jamar. Give PJ a run, give him some time and he'll go alright, what I like is when the ball hits the ground he keeps trying to keep it to advantage and does some good things just aside from rucking.

 

[Drummond]

IN: Bell, McLean
OUT: Heffernan, Miller (inj)

 

[Sylvia Saint]

IN: Bell, McLean
OUT: Heffernan, Miller (inj)

If that happens I will explode

 

[Supermercado]

He isn't getting any younger. He may have had his career year last season and hit the wall.
