In the news! As far as I'm concerned wish he never played for Richmond .

I'd like to know how others feel about this guy.

Didn't he play 14 games? As much of a Tigerland hero as Clinton King, lol!!

 

[bluespooner]

Lol to compare the splash that Campbell Brown made on football early 1970s and through to his coaching in the WAFL with Clinton King.

 

[Bojangles17]

underlines exactly what many of us thought on a thread a while back, a Grade A ****wit, I'm only sorry we can't erase his 14g meaningless connection...it's a blight on us every time it comes up

 

[the ranger]

What a tool. Madden must be kidding. No excuse for that kind of crap. I hope Buddy, Cyril and co beat the shite out of old Mal next time he's around Hawthorn footy club.

 

[mcuzzy]

....who!?

 

[ata33cro]

Disappointing he would make those comments especially after what happened with in this week in the NRL and Johns.

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

David Parkin & BT ( who both know Mal pretty well ) seem to think he is a great bloke and he has done a lot for indigneous people.

I think people on BF are too hard sometimes. Sure the guy f****d up, but there was no malice involved. If you go a pub on a Saturday night you would hear 10 times worse things said flippantly or in jest

 

[SteveoTheTiger]

I'm sick of this goose being labeled a former Richmond legend. His claim to fame with us is a few games and setting the club back 20 years as an administrator.

Campbell Brown played early 70's and coached through WAFL ?

The main issue here is that he made his comment at a public forum that the media had access to. You can't compare his remarks to one made at a pub.

 

[corporal]

Stupid comments yes,

But Mal Brown has done a hell of a lot for indigenous people so yes call his comments stupid but unless you have lived with and helped indigenous people (which I have not) then get down off your high horse.


The media is even worse, sure I can understand its a story, but they don't care about the aboriginal people, they care purely about whipping up hystera and selling papers.

What a sensationalist, politically correct and greed (media) focused society we have become.

 

[happy_punter]

I personally dont hate aboriginals, but i despise all this bullshit! so what who cares what he said, how many black players do you think out there have said amongst themselves white man slurs/jokes? i would say the majority. Its very overdone, i've had enough and i despise it all, mal brown shouldn't have said that but still, not only is it blown out of proportion, but the aboriginies need to get there hand off there tools as well.

I'm just waiting for 1980 to say Sheedy put him up to it...

he wasn't at a pub ya knob, he was a guest speaker , and should have known that anything he said is effectively on the public record, he deserves NO sympathy, im only sorry he continually get's bought up as a RFC identity. In my mind he's as much a tiger as Bin Laden is a Yankee

not quite true wrong in fact. you ought to go to some club luncheons ive heard worse from dippa hawkins sam and others the unwritten rule is what is said at a luncheon is not reported.

anyway who says its unacceptable to make a joke down race lines most people still do its only the noisy do gooders and wowsers who are loud and heard.

oh dear me browny made a joke about blacks or wogs ot what ever get over it it was a joke and should be treated as such and nothing else.
browny wont change and rightly so i thought the comments humorous which is what they were meant to be a bit of black humour if you like.
its just plain old tough if people cant laugh at them selves its the australian way to take the piss out of everyone and every thing it actually helps us become a more tolerant assimilated lot imo.

 

[Bojangles17]

don't be ridiculous santa, you're just trying to be mischievous in defending him, his comments in a public forum cannot be justified in any way shape or form, He's Grade A ****wit and seriously if you think that's funny, i pity you

 

[Haggard H]

Just happy that he's lost all credibility (again) just when he was starting his usual rumblings about upsetting the admin at Richmond.

 

[Tassie27]

Does he have any official capacity at Richmond anymore? Why am I seeing footage of him outside the rooms at Punt Road, then other footage of him talking to Geoff Raines and Richo? Why can't I see him talking to Campbell at Hawthorn? I don't like the constant connection being made between him and Richmond.

Even before this I thought this guy was a trouble maker and very opinionated. He does nothing for the cohesion of a club.

 

[mcuzzy]

sums it up, what a crackpot.

at least he got a few laughs out of the crowd before he was slapped across the face

exactly! what did he give us - 19 ordinary games, wasn't it? a w***er.

I thought it was 14 including the windy hill brawl.....but i could be wrong about the no

 

[telsor]

Generally, I'd just ignore it and let it go, but...

Considering this guys 'contributions' to RFC over the past 20 years or so, I'd take the opportunity to make a statement...

Ban him from all club functions for...12 months?

Sorry, have to disagree. There's right and there's wrong. If he can't work out what is correct to say at 64 years of age in a public forum, then Mal the Mouth should fade back into insignificance. He has hurt the club behind the scenes more than helped it. How could anyone at a publicity launch with media there ever think it wouldn't make the papers? Head in the sand stuff. He's a racist and a bigot. And a mouthy ******** at that.

pppffftttt there are plenty in fact i would say the majority wouldnt give two bob for all this political correctness clap trap.
so browny isnt politically correct lets hang draw and quarter him the last time i looked we were all still allowed to voice our opinions.

browny is at a footy function as a speaker and is expected to entertain the people there just like a comedian would. as i said all a storm in a tea cup and i have never heard of the media reporting on what is said at luncheons.

i could understand the furore if browny was a racist but hes not, wog wop abbo sheep ****er pom etc etc etc all politically incorrect but not racist.in fact terms of endearment to many.

great to see dippa get hung out to dry by dimwit for saying what exactly oh yeah wanganeen could play for an abbo to me its a backhanded witty way of complimenting him. why are we so precious. abbo its nothing more than an abbreviation only those who are lacking in some way manage to read more into it.
