TRIPLE premiership Lion Jonathan Brown donned his walking shoes over the summer and watched several clubs train across Melbourne’s sporting precinct.
And when he got to the Holden Centre, he didn’t like what he saw.
Brown said he was left stunned earlier this year after watching a Collingwood pre-season training session where he sensed a lack of urgency.
“I get my benchmark — I look at Richmond … they train with intensity, they train with an urgency of a premiership team.
“I go down the road and watch Collingwood — there’s a lethargy. There’s a lack of urgency, a lack of intensity … blokes dawdling between drills.”
“The main thing for Collingwood is their kicking inside 50. They murdered the football last year — I would not like to be a forward playing for Collingwood at the moment. What do they at training? They do exactly the same thing,” Brown said.
“I’ve looked at the premiership team the day before and I’ve come to look at a very mediocre side the next day and you know what? There’s no wonder why one team won the premiership and one team was a mediocre team that didn’t play finals. That’s the difference between Richmond and Collingwood.
