I thought he was one of the only shining lights, got in and mixed it for a few touches.

Wasn't bad for his first game.

I think it's more to do with the fact that he was better than any alternative

Thats a pretty damning indictment on Putt and Graham, who I confess I havent seen play for the 'burgers

Graham yes, Putt not so much

Well it says that we are failing to coach our other bigmen properly & concerns me greatly when he gets a game before other ruckmen

Listen to the wolves circling!  ::) TW had a crap night but he is not responsible for every $#%^& mistake we made on the field.

Browne was overlooked by every other club but competed well against the liked of King and Gardiner in the pre-season so was given a chance. I thought he was better than Simmonds who was a discrace last night. I watched him tap down to our players but their midfield swapped ours afterwards. Is that Brownes fault? Browne was also good at ground level with good kicking and handballing skills.

I think he will prove to be a real asset in the future but if he does that won't be because TW recruited or coached him well now will it...lets keep some perpective please. TW was ordinary last night but the bushfies, 9/11 and sinking of the titanic were not his fault OK!  :P

I agree Stripes. I dont get what it is with Simmonds ruck work. Why does he jump early or not at all. He never really seems to go for a jump and tap. Has this always been his way ??. Is he being told to do this ?? 

I hope the other young guys are not being tought to do this as to me its just a sign that he cant get up and win a tapout.

As far as Browne goes,  18 years old, MCG. 85,000, rookie elevated.  What more would you expect in a ruckman that normally take years to develop. He did ok.

l was stating that if Browne is getting a game before our other Ruckmen that we are failing somewhere in the development of the other Ruckmen,
l didnot state anywhere that Browne didnot play a good game & anything about his talent
Yes l agree Simmonds had a night to forget he was aweful
did Simmonds have a full preseason ?

I think it's because he is so short for a ruckman. He tries to jump early to get a ride on his opponent to the ball or to at least try to nullify his opponents run at the ball.

Even if TW was the skipper of the titanic you would say he did a good job.

Infamy is right. The large circle restricting ruckmen run-ups favours taller 200+cm ruckmen so Simmo being "only" 197cm tall jumps early to try and nullify the ruck contest and give our mids a better chance. He's been doing it for a few years now. The one thing Browne has in his favour even though he is young and inexperienced is that he is very tall (205cm) and big (101kgs). The type of tall ruckman that we've lacked.

What ruck in our team are you trying to compare him too and against other rucks in the competition he has a long way to go apparently.

Browne not ready yet but would rather have him than Gus any day.
