2011 Richmond Player Review - Andrew BrowneRead full review here: http://fightingfury.tumblr.com/post/12959488589/2011-richmond-player-review-andrew-browneStrengths:When Andrew Browne plays you know you are going to get at least one thing from him and that is effort. Browne constantly battles the other ruckman and provides a contest in ruck duels and around the ground; when the ball does hit the deck he is not afraid to put his body on the line. When Andrew does win the ruck contest he is actually a pretty handy tap ruckman who can palm the ball down to teammates on most occasions. Around the ground Browne has shown that he can occasionally take a good grab and his handball is quite adequate for a big player, particularly when at ground level. Time is definitely on Browne’s side with 205cm, 105kg lump of a lad only turning 21 during the 2011 season.
Weaknesses:Like so many young tall players in the league Browne struggles a little with his stamina. Towards the end of some games you can see that Andrew’s mind is willing but his body is not, often exhausted from battling against more senior, bigger bodies in the ruck. One big area of concern in Browne’s game is his kicking. His skills are not really up to scratch in this area and it shows when Andrew looks for the handball options even if none are there. While he does not need to become elite with his kicking, he needs to work on it to the point where he feels comfortable and confident in passing by foot if all handball avenues are cut-off. Despite his size, Browne would also like to improve on his contested marking a little as even though it is not terrible, improving in this area may take his game to the next level.
