What a champion! I met him once on the gold coast after Brisbane won in 2002 I think it was, is a really nice bloke and got his autograph for a little girl standing near me. I hope he stays in the game as a coach or something.
 
My all time favourite player from an opposition club bar none. Never grudged him for any goals he kicked against the Hawks and I loved his off field character as well. A bloke you would want in the trenches beside you and he ALWAYS stood tall when the whips were cracking. See ya Brown Dog.
 
Anyone know of any links to the presser yet? it is still not up on the Brisbane website, I have been refreshing every 10 minutes, I know for a fact it only takes about 20 minutes to edit and post a video like that on a website.. hoping they get it up soon.

Has been a pleasure to watch such a player, even more so being he played for us. So many great memories, ill never forget watching him kick 10 v the blues.
 
Sorry guys I have to take to take the blame here. I have been to three games this year.

The first - Rich ACL

The second - West ACL

The third - Brown concussed leading to retirement

I'm worried about what will happen at my next game.

Well... that's all she wrote folks. The last of our champions from our three-peat. Wouldn't change anything for what we did there. Thanks for everything Browny - from the huge roll you played in the premierships to the hope and excitement you gave after it.
Ash McGrath?
 
Mega spud. Completely overrated and absolutely unworthy of the recognition he has received.

Seriously - Enjoy the time post AFL and actually am hoping he has an incling to try to coach or become a part of development. Great guy for this. Congrtulations on a massive magnificent career. Can say the calls coming that the guy was obscenly overrated are amazing piles of crap. Guy's one of the best bloody CHF ever and actually much more esteemed then the two that were put into the AFL hall in 2014.

Oh dont worry about that. You wont be allowed to another game. Pictures are being circulated as we speak.

So, it wasn't the footy gods...it was you!!

Please keep away from any future games if you don't mind, my blood pressure can't take anymore!

Think Browny will enjoy spending some time with his family. Dont think he will look at coaching or anything like that, at least not straight away. In saying that, we will draft a top rated talent KPF this year, and I hope we can use Brown in a mentoring role for him. Brown was strong and courageous, but he is also a very smart player.

Would also be great to have him as part of our academy providing some of his knowledge to players there. Would be a great experience for young players to have access to such a star of the game. Along with some media work I think he could juggle those part time positions to keep himself busy enough, and still allow plenty of time to spend with the family.
 
True champion, on and off the field by all accounts. A shame he couldn't play on until the end of the year and get a proper farewell but there's no doubt this is the right call for him and his young family.

Congrats to the big fella on a stellar career, particularly getting three premiership medals when most players would die for just one :thumbsu:
 
The plethora of tributes from other clubs and supporters speaks volumes for the esteem in which the big fella is held.

Well done all.:thumbsu:
How could you NOT love the big bloke??

Absolute superstar. Loved watching him play.

Not seeing him out there is going to take some getting used to.

Great player, seemed like a great guy. Can only wish him all the best.
 
Ash is also a premiership player, our last man standing now.....he helped us win the 2003 flag
Not sure how long he'll be around for as well.

Could very well be his last year
