Browne > Graham

At the least he should be given a crack after his recent form.  Any upgrade on Graham would be a quantum leap forward.

 He's learning Browne, his size helps a lot but he still has a way to go. One effort today, he dropped a simple mark under no pressure and looked like a giraffe with MS trying to pick it up for a sec, You guys would be all over him faster than taliban into a hillside cave.

Maybe CUB but I couldn't dislike him any more than Graham.  If you have nothing else as a player then at least have some heart.  Graham = Peaheart

BrownE repaid the coaching staff who brought him in this week. Also copped a nice shiner under his left eye  for his troubles.

The big fella's performance would have meant a lot of contented tiger heads as they passed out last night. If he improves on that we wont see graham back in, in the short term

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I was content after the very first bounce  ;D

We had a ruckman watching the bloody ball !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And guess what - he did for the entire game

Can't have it! Can we?  ;D

Seriously, I thought he was great, for the amount of work he did, I thought he did a fantastic job. He is still very raw but I reckon he showed there's a fair bit to work with

And a well done to Jayden Post - he was a reasonable foil when he went into the middle when teh gave BrownE a rest

If Browne's performance last night doesn't highlight how much difference having a fair crack from your ruckman means to our team then I don't know what will.  Goodbye Graham, don't bother coming back.

Poor ol Browne worked his clacker off last night, he was almost falling over from exhaustion but kept on fighting for the ball lol  He needs more games imo

agree wp

and the postman just needs a confidence builder, only if he kicked that goal , he will be a dominant player if he just gets that confidence

spot on WP. He was awesome. Did a great job all night. He proved me wrong last night. I hope he can go on to be a permanent. Already passed Graham IMO.

Browne’s big night out
richmondfc.com.au
By Tony Greenberg
Wed 25 May, 2011


The 203cm, 105kg, ‘Man Mountain’ from Mansfield,  was a valuable contributor, winning a game-high 24 hit-outs, to go with his 15 disposals, six marks, four tackles, and plenty of ‘one-percenters’.

“He was fantastic,” Trent Cotchin told the 3AW football panel.
“He promised the midfield group before the start of the game that he was just going to create a contest.
“That’s what his role was within the side - and that’s what he did.
“He was up against three really good ruckmen in Ryder, Hille and Bellchambers, so to be one v three for the majority of the game, and give the effort that he did, throwing himself at some contests, is just fantastic.  And, that’s all we can ask of him . . .”

He promised blowies to the leadership group and the coaches. Could be the only possible reason he has ever been picked to play seniors.
