Sorry, I wasn't really taking sides on the issue, I knowingly made points for and against, but I like doing that
I certainly wouldn't call Brown a money hungry theif, that's just ridiculously sensationalist, but what else would you expect from daniel?
I think calling him a mercinary is reasonable and while the deal in hindsight wasn't the right move, prior to "that match" against Melbourne in 2005, it was looking like we did pretty well out of it. Given how crap the 2003 draft turned out, I'd say it's close to a draw.
No worries. I read it a bit incorrectly. I took serious offence to daniel telling lies and calling someone (who I have know personally) a thief, and I probably had a very short level of tolerance when it came to reading your comment. I challenge anyone on this forum to put their hand up and say that they haven't or wouldn't leave their current job for a new one if the offer of more money was sufficient. And to have that lying twerp then call Brown a thief for doing just that was not only disgraceful and slanderous, it was also just another example of his immaturity and absolute disrespect for anyone else. The sooner he leaves this forum to the rest of you who actually have something reasonable to say the better for all other posters.
My apologies to all other posters for my personal rant - I just hate the downside to a public forum where any discussion can be hijacked and polluted by a nobody with nothing worth saying or listening to.
to answer your question about leaving for money. In this game its a resounding NO. You really have got issues about this haven't you.
you can challenge all you like but Brisbane lions players of the famous era never left for money as did the Bombers of their era, hawks of the 80's ditto.
SUCCESSFUL TEAMS STICK TOGETHER AND DONT LEAVE FOR GREED OF THE $$$ Read Kruzer's article today. " we made a pact to stick together"
Now i ask you this if both Cotch and Lids go to the Gold Coast i wonder if your opinion or others on here would change. ABSOLUTELY!!
your reasons are flawed and i repeat my opinion for the last time
NATHAN BROWN IS A SELFISH FOOTBALLER ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND A MONEY HUNGRY INDIVIDUAL WHO LEFT FOR CASH.
Teams have to stick together to achieve a common goal( premiership) not leave whenever someone offers up a bigger price tag.
you can argue all you like, thats fine but my opinion still stands as it does regarding Judd when he left the Eagles. Although in Judd's defence there was an ever growing drug culture he wanted to distance himself from.
Did i ever hear Judd say he left for cash....NO but does that mean he didn't, WELL LETS TAKE A POLE ON HERE AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR ANSWER.
Actually better yet lets go back and read all the negative posts about Judd when he left the Blues.
Lets read all the comments that were made about his character shall we.
