Reckon Riewoldt will like now having Brown against him and Brown will like not having Paddy to mark.Thanks for reminding us.
I wonder how those two will go being on the same team now.

Why?
**** yes!
Welcome Nathan Brown
Haha, he ain't that good. He's an ok defender. Will do his job usually, but don't expect much.

In b4 Pies fans calling him the worst defender on the face of the planet
Edit - too l8

Perfect timing
Geez what a difference. On the Stevens thread the Doggies supporters have come over and been civil and positive in their posts. Most Pies fans on this thread however...
I'm not overly surprised I must say.
Anyway Nathan is only 27 so a good few years in him yet. A change of clubs may well invigorate him and he'll be back at his best hopefully. Regardless it's a great pick up for us. He was in Collingwood's Leadership group this year so he'll be a great mentor for our young blokes too.
Very happy

Slight upgrade on Delaney, Dempster and Roberton no longer ragdolled easy pickings for the likes of Kennedy/Hawkins, Gilbert no longer has any business being down in defense anymore, Goddard and Coughlan can develop without pressure. He's for free. Loves it
Wont make sense to many I feel, but it makes perfect sense for us.

To a stkilda supporter that sounds like the greatest tall defender ever.we literally haven't had one since the end off the ross era.
All brown needs to do, is defend. He doesn't need to be a star. Just play his role
Two good Pies supporters, two campaigners so far.
Contrast them with the Dogs supporters about Stevens. All class.
I suppose when you land Mayne for 500 large a year and lose three KPD's in one trade period you are entitled to gloat

I think this helps Carlisle a bit too. Imagine after having a year off "welcome back to footy, now off you go keep Tom Hawkins goalless for us".
Chris Mayne lmao
Fair enough.
Put it this way, he has no tricks and you will get frustrated with him at times. He sometimes tries to do more than he is capable of, however when he sticks to the basics he is a decent defender. After losing a couple of backs, I was keen to see him stay.

Good to see a Ballarat connection at the Saints again, like days of old.

We are not stupid enough to let him be the main kicker out of defense
Any word on chips stav?
MAYBE a rookie spot??
Or do you reckon that's it for another club great?
Gee would still love him reading the play as the third man now he doesn't have to take on the big forwards

Pretty sure that's all she wrote. Can't see the need to rookie fish.
He didn't do it for us very often either.
His issue has been when he tries to kick across the ground, or to take players on.

And he won't be doing that
We have blokes like Webster Robertson Dempster Geary (ok granted he can be a little iffy but has improved remarkably) Carlisle and Joey
Brown is there to take a gorilla and get a fist into a contest
The end
hayes

It's fine he can just handball it to Montagna, Savage, Roberton or Webster running past.

He's a personal favourite of mine and I'm sad to see him go. He was in our leadership group and won our best clubman award last year and in my opinion he's still an elite lockdown defender.
Good luck to him, and you guys. As long as you don't let him kick it, he will be a good pickup for you. He has a rare talent for helicopter kicks to opposition. But he's a solid one on one. I reckon your coach knows what he's doing.
We didn't ask him to do it either. He just tries to do too much sometimes.
Sure you did
