Well done to Andrew Browne who showed a fair bit of improvement in only his 3rd game of AFL football
1 kick & 7 handballs @ 100% disposal efficiency with 3 contested, 2 marks (1 contested), 16 hitouts, 1 goal, 1 tackle, 1 clearance & 2 clangers (2 frees against)

Considering Angus Graham had
4 kicks, 6 handballs @ 80% disposal efficiency with 4 contested, 0 marks, 14 hitouts, 0 goals, 2 tackels, 3 clearances, & 1 clanger


I'd say he did a pretty decent job for such a young kid, which is exactly why you don't write off a player after 2 games of AFL football

I think Mr Tigra owes Andrew Browne an apology ;)
When I meet him Infamy I will apologise.
If we ever meet, will you apologise to me then.

I still don't think he's ready yet. But he had an ok game. I was wrapped for him when he kicked the goal. The thought that crossed my mind though was that he reminded me of a Mark Blake @ Geelong.
Is that a good thing?

usually when a ruckman moves forward and kicks a goal it's what is expected from a ruckmans good work.
But when you laugh at your ruckman when he kick a goal it reminds me of Mark Blake and the Geelong supporters.

Be honest, was I the only one Suprised and laughing?

I wasn't surprised and I was celebrating, not laughing Mr T.  I have said a number of times on here that I believe BrownE will quickly become our #1 ruckman over Graham and am more firmly convinced of that than ever before.  He was much better this week than last in picking up the tempo and contesting (both in the air and on the ground) and even though he has a long long way to go, I am comfortable with what I have seen already.

Young Tigers ruckman Andrew Browne added some comedy in the second term when the umpire signalled in the wrong direction for a free kick.

Browne took the umpire's lead and shaped to kick in the wrong direction.

"He is a guy who gives everything he has got - he is not overly blessed with ability, but he gives everything he has got and he puts his best foot forward every week," Hardwick said of Browne.

"He was very good and I thought our rucks broke even with (Mark) Jamar, who is close to All-Australian ruckman."

Browne will be better than Gus for mine.

Browne is very very good in a pack where as Gus is easily beaten.

I don't think he's any good. Reminds me of Blake @ Geelong.....dopey.
I hope I'm wrong though.

Sandilands is dopey. Last time I checked Ruckman aren't rated on their looks or IQ?

Leunberger is dopey. Seaby is dopey. David Hale is dopey.

He's played 4 AFL games don't forget.

Can take a nice pack mark, something that I think he's ahead of Vickory and Gus in that area.
Go Tigers!

I meant dopey in a footy sense. Not in IQ.

He's no good. Just has no footy idea what he's doing where he should go and why he's there. Reminds me of a bad version of Robert Schaefer.

Browne is a far better prospect than Vickery at the minute, thats a fact.

DerickX in 1 game showed he is better than the lot
Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.
