He was finished 3 years ago. I put up a thread that we should trade him. And people as usual got all emotional and said it wasnt worth it, Brown was a champion etc etc. So what, we should have traded him and gotten an early pick.

Once again Richmond was not tough enough with player management and trades - and if that doesnt change, then we will stay at the bottom.

Brown would never have landed us an early pick since his injury

We would definately have gotten a late 1st round pick from a club that was close to winning a flag.

Absolute rubbish. No team is going 2 offer a late first rounder for a cripple.

you might want to take that statement back you clown.

One Richmond football club paid for one Jordy Mc stuffwit Mclovin for a pick just as good.

who cares about what pick we could have got! He's a pathetic excuse of a tough Richmond player. Just another limp dick jelly fish who only thinks of himself. He wouldnt know how to spell fight let alone ever be in one. The quicker this guy is out of the club, the quicker this club can build a team with toughness!  
The club that keeps giving.

Yep Browny is gone sadly. Too slow and has lost that zip and agility he use to have to outwit opponents. The smarts are still there but the body can't respond. The broken leg robbed him and us of his best  :(.

The Club should give him a send off game next week. Add Simmo as well.

yes he is finished.  but what's with the obsession with giving everyone a farewell game?

to me only long time servants of the club and club legends deserve farewell games (eg with bowden today).  brown hasn't done enough for the club to deserve one.  neither does simmonds as i heard someone mention him as well.

Collingwood wanted him!

And the only people kidding themselves are the Richmond board and its management who are wasting peoples time at the moment with the coaching process. These are the same people who stood by and watched Miller be on the board whilst being an employee, watched Wallace give away a top draft pick for McMahon etc etc.

If it wasnt for the Richmond supporters the club would be dead. And we deserve better management.

Collingwood wanted him when he first came to Richmond
However even if they did still want him, to think that they'd offer a first round pick for a player that had yet to recover fully from his potentially career threatening injuries (effectively they were career ending) is just fantasy land material.

He is worse nothing  now and should just retire.
