Player Watch Callum Brown (Delisted 2022)

[Kirby]

I cant express in words the reverence in which I hold Gavin Brown.

The bravest player I've ever seen. Fearless.

Those too young to see him missed something very special. I have him above Buckley and Daicos. Just loved how he went about it.

His kid seems to have inherited the same instincts.

Callum back into full training according to Neil. Hopefully shaken it off for good.

He did things sometimes that made you hold your breath just in case you might actually witness a player die on the field. Bob Rose played the same as did Des Tuddenham but Rowdy (particularly early on) was just a weedy looking kid compared to those two grown battleships! Watching Rowdy and Millane on opposing wings was like watching two warriors taking on 5-6 scared little guys. Rowdy and Pants were never beaten and often beat 2 or 3 opponents at a time. Contested ball took on new meaning when those two were anywhere near the pill.
And WW I too shed a tear when Rowdy came back on against Daniher in 1990. He'd never be allowed these days but somehow he got back out there and to see him chesting Terry Daniher (who was 6" taller and 20Kg's heavier) and showing him Collingwood would not be intimidated....you just knew we had it won, even in the third quarter!!
Gavin Brown fearless warrior, ultimate champion, modest magpie legend.

Well spoken and has the hunger to succeed. I'm excited about his future with us.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Looking forward to seeing this kid play

Callum Brown didnt get glandular fever, glandular fever suffered from Callum Brown.

 

[Buckley is my hero]

Looking forward to seeing this kid play

Don't read too much into his VFL performance this weekend. I reckon he's lost a month of match conditioning. He won't come into his own until at least a month after the season starts.

Buckley didn't leave Callum Brown out of the JLT games, Callum Brown just wanted to give the rest of the comp a false sense of security.

 

[Ulahoopski]

Did he say "Bill (Davoren) has done a good job ....."? Obviously fake news - brilliant dubbing though.

Rowdy was the most sensible mild mannered guy off the field, but what a lunatic on the field. I loved him.

 

[DWil6]

Loved Gav. Along with Daicos, he was my favourite player. Incredible one on one. Never beaten in a contest. Similar sized player to myself only one of us had skills and bravery and the other was Gavin Brown (I wish). He stood next to him at the urinal at Bobby McGees one year after we just got knocked out of the finals. Had a brief chat. A lot of the boys were there that night including a young Nathan Buckley who got kicked out for throwing ice from one side of the room to the other aiming at his team mates.
I have high hopes for his boy, Callum, as well as Daicos's boys. Would be a dream come true to see these boys light up the MCG as their fathers once did.

Fair call... Browny did courageous things on the field that no one else of his build would have considered..

for those who watched the game how did young brown do

Think he only played the first quarter and a bit so not a huge amount to report

thanks for the info

Need directions to a thread for Callum Brown, I seemed to have stumbled into a thread about his old man.

Annoying that every other time it's bumped it's talking about Gav man love rather then news on Cal updates.

may be there should be a thread for reminiscing to avoid this

Great idea have a look here

Howdy, couldn't find your supercoach thread. Have an interest in brown as a floating donut then to play when fitness improves after glandular. Do you guys see him getting much of a go second half of the season?

Thanks
