Drop Brown

[astro_toby]

Honestly - this bloke has really provided bugger all this season, should be proving a lot more, doesn't work hard enough and is quite possibly one of the most egotistical players on our side.

Drop him, show everyone of our players no one is safe from the axe - if Terry Wallace's love child can be dropped to the VFL, than anyone can

Brown is seriously pissing me off this season, i am certainly thinking that he should be traded at seasons end - with the Gold Coast coming in and us looking like having to rebuild again (for a record 10 time in 27 years) lets try and get as many picks as possible to do so - lets give Craig Cameron a decent crack at the draft

agree. if we drop a senior player in brown. it will show everyone even if you are a star that your spot is never safe.

not really - that thread is about someone thinking Brown has lost his passion for the game - mine is about the coach having the balls and the integrity to drop a bloke who is quite obviously playing well below his best and showing himself to be an extremely lazy footballer.

The only thing they really have in common is that its about the same player, but cheers for that Kainokaino - The unelected Hall monitor of the Big Footy boards

Hah nah i just come out of the other nathan brown thread and saw this one, so i thought i would give you a quick heads up.

And btw i think Brown should be dropped but if we are going to do this we have to drop Simmonds aswell, Patto is ready to come back in so play Gus and Patto.

I don't think we can really afford to drop Simmo, at least with Brown we have another 10 players who are the same size, similar speed and can actually play the same position. If we went in with just Graham and Patto, it would be a disaster. Bring Patto in this week and use him down forward, god knows that needs to be re-arranged in a massive way, its a joke at the moment.

Agree. Needs a run in the 2's he has had a poor start to the season and he needs to find form.

With all due respect dude....i would leave him in the line up, dropping him will only result in himbeing back the nextt week. Reckon his reputation would be under the hammer more, if he continues to produce shitful perfomances.

patto could not do any worse than simmo this week. i know he is ageing but 8 hit outs. he has to do better than that.

What do you expect, he's playing significantly less time in the ruck and the club doesn't seem to want to back him in as first choice, seemingly favouring the more inexperienced Graham over him when the club needs experience the most. His team is 0-4, under intense media pressure, and you expect him to have the confidence to perform? Look at his stats in the first game, when he spent more time as the ruckman and when his spot was seemingly secure, with young Browne being the clear second fiddle - then compare those stats to his stats with Graham in the side, from rounds 2 - 4.

 

[kainokaino]

Astro if you look at Simmonds last few games he has done sweet F all.

Gus has been better then him in the last couple, and you know Patto will give you 100% and work his arse off all day.

Last year i would of taken simmonds over patto in a heartbeat but at the moment he cant take a mark, he cant beat vfl standard ruckman and he cant run.

In patto Out simmo

 

[KickIt2Cotch]

Totally agree can't stand this bloke! could vickery do any worse than simmo or gus. I dont think we will play finals so why not let him get some experience

don't have a real issue with patto coming in - just would probably prefer him to be used forward. Simmo has definitely been a bit shitful, but another tall would be nice for a change. Bring in Patto and schulz - and drop Brown. I just don't trust patto's body yet to handle the ruck - goingin with graham and patto, jeez both are not very strong and would get bullied all day long against Norths rucks.

Lets do something crazy for a change and have a forward line with a player or two over 6 foot

 

[Sausage roll]

Yep..bye bye pretty boy.


Too busy promoting his own business, doing media.

get a kick at Coburg your spud

 

[Bojangles17]

yeah id agree has been uselss in 2009 which surprised me as I thought he looked the goods in pre season...Time to go Browny

 

[_RT_]

Caro has just said she would never play Brown again if she was in charge

I agree with her. Brown is a passenger.

 

[krustyman]

Riewoldt, hislop and connors were bigger passengers than brown.i disagree with the witch carro!

caro has always been a wicket witch and should jump on he broom and retire and stop all the drivel.

 

[stopsign]

He is a good player, needs to be dropped for a couple of weeks though

 

[a_fighting_fury]

He's one of our better players, he just needs to find some form. Quick.

Not any more. His form is woeful and is all talk. "Best preseason ever, fittest I've ever been, raring to go," blah blah blah.

there were worse out there than brown, lift you head and look up at the full picture rather than blaze away.

5 posessions to half time??? Nup. You're asleep im afraid. Got one of his 2 goals on a platter. Beats his chest on the footy show and has given nothing. Time for the boot.

wrong again. Brown was woeful. Jacko has a crack at least. Brown just has deep pockets.
