Yes, I think there is something in this as well, but I think the original plan was for both of them to go to the Hawks but Brown was put off by the upset of a few key Hawk players in Brown going their. The Hawks didn't want to take the pay cuts and Brown didn't want to go their with team mates that were possibly going to resent him so he chose the Tigers. This then opened the door for us to get Wallace because both teams Hawks and Tigers had big problems with their respective coaching set ups and the writting was well and truly on the wall that changes would be made within 1 to 2 years especially at Richmond.
Brown was always going to go to richmond or where Terry wallace coached.
Brown and Cambo are good mates !
