I would not lose sleep if we rookie browne

I think the club was planning this all along regardless of whether Angus was going to get traded or not. IMHO Browne adds more. Note Dreamtime 2011 has Gus ever played a game like that. :shh

Dreamtime 2011 I actually thought we had a ruckman and have been hoping to see him build on that. Unfortunately he only went downwards but has time on his side and IMO would be a better option than most of the rookie prospects from state level.

Andrew is a few years younger than Gus and is more combative.
I would certainly give him another year over Gus. Essentially no harm.
If he fails we lose nothing and we move on. If he succeeds great. :thumbsup

Yeah, though despite his instructions being "just handball"  :lol

Wasn't that the start of about a 7 game block for Browne? Unless I'm thinking about someone else.

Gus came back in after a while. Let's move on from Goose and Browney. pee Derrickx off as well. may as well use Tuck in the ruck next year if Maric goes down

Was hoping for more from Derickx :( But judging from his NAB cup games he just looks so unco when he has the ball and the rest of the time looks lost.

Agree Coach.  I think there is still some upside to BrownE - he has shown glimpses that might be worth persevering with, especially if he's only on the rookie list.  If you apply the same criteria to BrownE that you applied to Graham then a rookie list spot is relevant surely?

Is Orren Stephensen worth a look?  A one year so so player?

No, he hardly set the world on fire for the cats and isn't he like 30 something?

No. If he is worth anything then another club will pick him up. Graham & Browne are completely different. One was a kid who became a #1 ruck at a young age and the other struggled to break in (nothing against young Andy).A premiership contender has picked up Graham on a two year deal for 400k a season so he might just have ability. Although those with vendettas will never admit it. ;D

For a club with no other ruckman, although people rooting for him won't admit it
