Campbell Brown goes cabaret


bush demon

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
