Brownie is back

[tigertiger]

Does anyone feel that Browny is getting his mojo back seemed to be really involved on the weekend and looked always looked dangerouse. Forwards like him run on confidence and I reckon he is starting to strut.

yes he is getting back to his old self we will need him at his best on sunday!!! along with the rest of our team, i think deledio needs to lift once again to inspire the team along with foley

Half a second off kicking the winning goal/point on Sunday. But yeah he did play much better over the whole match.

Actually 8 seconds

Actually 8 seconds

even worse, it just really pisses me off that these sort of mistakes can happen this doesnt excuse us for practically throwing the game away

Yeah, Brown was real close to winning us the game. When Simmonds had the ball and needed a boundary line option Brown, with all his experience moved towards the middle of the ground, played from behind and was completely outpointed by Morris near the 50 arc. From there the Bulldogs went down and tied the game.

Exactly the personification of the "individualistic" culture Glenn Archer referred to on Footy Classified. Sake, that's something Pettifer would have done.

If he'd gone to the boundary line and the ball had gone over the back, you'd have made basically the same post. Moving toward the middle of the ground was the more defensive option, which was apparently the way the players were being instructed to play in those last minutes. Not really a good example of being "individualistic".

To comment on the original post...yeah, he does seem to be getting some of the old magic back. Not where he was in 2005 yet, but showing glimpses of it a lot more regularly.

even with a busted leg he plays better than pettifer and bowden combined.

I thought that was pivotal, he should have punched.

Brown has been good all season. Pretty good against Blues, freo and Dogs and decent against roos and pies in a losing team and congested forward line. He's averaging about 2 goals and close to 20 possessions a game. That is almost Brown at his best and he will get better

 

[Bojangles17]

he's pretty good browny, his marking has dropped off a bit, more too do with a 30yo player than a busted leg...his use of the ball adds value with bursts in the Mid and his guile as a FP adds value with 2-3 goals even in a quiet game...Dont mind browny at all

Yeah given he thought the tiges were in front he would have kicked backwards to hold on to the ball

im sure one of the runners or players would of gone up to him and told him to take the set shot, and he was well inside 50 so i doubt he would of kicked backwards
