Those of us who grew up watching footy in the 60's and 70's will remember West Australian Mal Brown seeking to make an impact in the VFL by going the biffo. It is amazing to see his Victorian son, Campbell Brown now doing the same thing as a 'queenslander' by indulging in similar tactics. At least he has his luxury apartment.

He has always done it, with or without his luxury gold coast apartment. He seems to think it is his job to make a stand - when its just stupidity which is now going to put his team back further than they already are. And it couldn't have come at a better time.

They have very few mature bodies like his, now another debutant to line up against us next week. Will make life just that little bit easier for our forwards.

Nothing tough at all about that kind of act. Pure thuggery and a stain on the person's character.

It's a shame because it's not like he can't play hard, aggressive and fair football.

Wants to be remembered like a Mark Harvey or a Glen Archer does Campbell Brown. But won't be.

There is a difference between tough and stupidity

After 10 years if the lessons aren't learned its called stupidity

He is on a guaranteed contract regardless of games played which is dangerous to the mind of one C Brown

Love him but yday wasnt good engh

Spot on. Has aggression instead of guts, and that's what will keep him from being remembered in a positive light, if at all.

Funnily, first thing I thought when he plonked Ward off the ball was that Brown is just as much a publicity stunt signing as "Harmichael", brought in to get some headlines and get some "tough guy" footage on the Gold Coast news.

Watching the game, I don't think I've ever been as keen to see Barry Hall get back to his old punching form as I was after he'd been head shunted by Campbell... Shame.

I thought this thread was about him doing cabaret.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Campbell involved in a bit of drag burlesque...

This is going to be interesting. On what I saw Brown's gone for 2 or 3 weeks at least but does the AFL want the new franchise to lose a key player at a point in time when it's fast losing credibility in the eyes of the fans?

Surely, there are technicalities for the MRP to consider ...

Just an article released in the HS saying how Brown thought it was unnecessary to apologise because he's done nothing wrong. The man is an out and out arrogant [censored].

Good, The [censored] will not be playing next week.

He is an over rated [censored]...What a waste of a senior recruit for the Fold Coast.

Campbell Brown a leader.....NOT.

The apple never falls far from the tree does it ...

He was on the radio a while ago and said it's just the way he plays the game. Problem is throwing an elbow at a guy's head while he's not looking and after play has stopped has nothing to do with "playing the game." It's a simple act of cowardice. He will long be remembered as a sniping little thug and a mediocre footballer.

I love him. He plays the game like an animal. Sometimes he overdoes it, like yesterday, but he also shirtfronted Barry Hall, too, and no sane person does that. I'd love him in our side. Melbourne needs an animal or two who just compete fanatically.

I love strong courageous players. Campbell Brown is neither.

He is a dirty sniper who regularly acts like a dog on the footy field out of sheer frustration.

He is an ordinary player and an ordinary person who clearly goes in "hard" but doesn't have the balls to admit when he's crossed the line.

Give me strong courageous players like Selwood any day of the week over cheap-shot wankers like Brown.

Hope he cops plenty of weeks for what he did.

Agree.

The thing that I will remember Brown for is mouthing off after the Essendon game about getting even with Lloyd if he sees him again, but he had half a game to do it and did nothing. Big mouth sniper who is trying to convince himself that he is a tough bloke.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
