I didn't see anything in Browne that fills me with hope at all.

Anyway why must we put up with crap players just because they are tall.

There has already been questions on his physique so there is already a question about his commitment to succeed.
You've got to be kidding me. Unless you are a freak of nature and are a star in the making you might get away with having a body like his but you must question a guy that is already 20 and he looks like he does.
He is slow.
He is unfit.
He can't read the play.
He is a red head.
He can't play.
You don't pick someone just because they are 200 cm tall!!
Good to see you completly avoid all the points I raised earlier and just start laying into a young player again
I only posted an opinion on one young ruck purely on his first two games.
It's a fact he isn't ready. It's a fact that Darren Jolly probably wasn't ready when he played his first two games you mentioned.
I'm waiting Mr Infamy.......Apologise!

you got more chance of getting a lap dance from Moi than Infamy apologising.

His stats are better than Darren Jolly's first two games
The fact he's been BOG for Coburg and in the bests for Coburg regularly, if not every week show that he's earnt his spot

What else can he do?

Good logical well thought out post.

Pity you are such a dick about Jack.

Actually what is funny here is that BrownE has played 2 games with limited game time and people are writing him off

Gus Graham is currently in his what 4th year  ??? and is finally playing (bar the last 2 weeks) consistent, strong footy..... it takes more time for the big ruckman to develop

Give the bloke a chance - he would have learnt a helluva lot on Saturday against a really good opponent in Jolly and he should take note of the way Brown uses his big solid body to stand his ground

Very very funny WP.  At his very young age (for a football big man) he has shown plenty of developing ability at the next level down.  With another year under Lade and a dozen or more games under his belt then maybe we can start to form a credible opinion but until then..............what was it being discussed on another thread?  Something about 'internet nuffers'?

And fwiw, I still strongly believe he will become a much better player than Graham.

Are we talking about the same Browne who was elevated prematurely early last year to cover injuries? The same Browne that everyone has been itching to see in the ones for a large part of this? The same Browne who now everyone has decided to lambast after his first senior game in a year and a half? I am with you infamy, one swallow does not make a spring, give him a few games in a row and see how it pans out!

The only problem I see is that he's a similar ruck type to Angus Graham, you can have one of them in your side, but not two
With Vickery's form drop and Simmonds retirement, we have no one else to play so we need to have both of them for now

Hopefully we can pick up another mobile ruck type with one of our picks in the upcoming draft

Can I please have a list of who hates who as I am getting so confused.

List should include players with matching OER posters. It should also include OER posters with matching OER posters they hate.

I might then understand some of these threads.

As for Browne - Since when did any ruckman look good at 19 or 20 years old that wasnt picked in the top 10 of draft. They all take time and some of them can take up to 5 years.
I do however agree that once developed he would be a similar type to Gus which may be a problem, who knows is far too early to tell.  Let them play and grow, thats what this year is about from day one.

we should do what we should have done last draft/rookie draft and that is get a 25-26 yo solid seasoned ruckman from the VFL/SANFL/WAFL and let them do what they wanted simmonds to do and that is hold the fort without putting undue stress on Vickery.

Dunno about that but he definitely has the body of an inbred mountain boy.
