exactly. unless his form was related to injury as in tmac.

Absolutely we cannot recruit a long term injured key Forward 

It’s time the midfield and other forwards learnt to kick properly. 
 

The Bullet Pass

 
 

Brown can only mark and kick goals on a lead?

Can we kick properly to a goal kicking target?


I’d take him in a second for a reasonable price, if expected to recover from this knee injury. Would add plenty

Weid marking forward, Brown the lead up forward

 

The question is why was he so pizz poor this season? Injury? Norf gameplan? Finished as a player? Confidence?

He's a 200 cm leading forward that has the runs on the board. Worth pursuing.

He had a pretty tragic circumstance in his family and I think this took a huge mental toll on his well being especially being locked away on a hub.

Glad he's seeking a fresh start.

From our end its definitely worth asking the question? Read some crazy stat that hes kicked 60 plus goals 3 years in a row... amazing.

60 Goals, 3 years running

When did we last have that Target

Ring his Manager

It only took rookie coach Rhyce Neeld...um Shaw one season to ruin his career.

 

 

Definitely an upgrade on Tmac. 
 

We need to go very hard at BB. 

He usually gets four free kicks in front of goal per game so that's perfect for us!

Yeah who knows what happened over there


I think he’s a very good option. Strong mark and an accurate kick. And he’s still only 27. I think he’s worth a second rounder. Not sure how much coin he’d demand but if we can move Tmac on then he would be a definite upgrade.

I agree with the comments here that anyone who can kick 60+ goals 3 years in a row (??!!) is obviously worth pursuing, but if that's really the case, why would North be so keen to give him up? North didn't kick many goals this year, so I would have thought he might be useful to have around next year?

So, what's happened then?

Injury?

Drama?

Finished?

We don't need any of those things, as we have enough of each, but if we can do our DD and his body/heart are still up for the job, it might be worth a punt if we can turf TMac - can't be worse, if fit and good to go.

Hitting leads on the chest, or hell, even directing the ball anywhere near him is another question altogether...

I'd be wary:

Shaw believes Brown's lead-up play is not suited to his preferred game style, which in many ways mirrors that of his former club Sydney – slower, considered ball movement that prioritises contested possession.

So not sure he would fit our game plan, either.  He needs space to run into and ops are learning to shut down space.

It seems he turned down a three-year contract at the start of 2020 worth upwards of $750,000 per season.  May be regretting that now.

I'd ask the question for sure.  You don't lose your ability overnight, just your confidence.  Shaw is a terrible coach and many North players are shadows of what they were under Scott. Anyone averaging better than 2 goals a game over a reasonable length of time can certainly play the game.  If he could give us 40 goals a season he'd be twice as good as anything we currently have.


The 27-year-old's management has been actively shopping his services to clubs including Essendon, Collingwood, Melbourne, Hawthorn, Gold Coast and Brisbane. 

"Opposition clubs believe Brown's value on the open market could net the Roos a second-round pick."

How's BB worth a second rounder when Daniher (last year) was deemed to be worth multiple picks, madness.

Well he’s in luck Lucifer as we don’t have a game plan. 
 

He will fit in perfectly. 

That mop of hair will be much easier stomached in a Melbourne geurnsey. 

 

Bargain buy. The melts on north’s bigfooty board suggest he is still very highly rated by their fans. If he passes a medical I’m all for it

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
