Leigh Brown

Featured Replies

we keep saying we're looking for another key backman... could he be the man? would certainly give us another option down back...

downside is age isn't exactly on his side, he turns 26 in february, but could still have another 4 or 5 years in him... would give us a pretty solid back 6...

Carroll/Frawley Brown Whelan

Wheatley/Petterd Rivers Bell

 

Depends what the price is...

He's no real improvement on what we've got.

Disagree, however not sure he's worth it.

With Carrol, Rivers and also Frawley and even Bell able to take taller forwards we may not need another tall back.

 

Everyone seems to forget we have some guy called Ben Holland. The bloke has destroyed everyone he has played on the last 2 seasons

No, we need another tall back but...

Watt was pushing him out of the side...

That's enough for me to say no.

Holland has a year left, if that.

If we trade Carroll, we need to get a ready-made replacement. Brown could be someone we can look at.

We won't be upgrading skills, or defensive ability, but clearly that is not why we're putting Carroll's name on the table...

Totally exaggerated comment, and the fact that he's been dropped many times within those two seasons for 'team balance' tells us something.

As Jaded said, he's on borrowed time anyway.

I was speaking recently with a long time North member and about where our respective lists were at. I questioned him about Leigh Brown and why he was trade bait. My perception was that he had all the necessary attributes to be a solid KPP, but couldn't cement a spot. His comment was that he's soft, there's a lot of bluster and bravado about Brown, but when push comes to shove he doesn't go when it's his turn. He said a lot of North supporters wanted him to be traded for those reasons.

 

Leigh Brown = Brad Miller without leadership skills. Steer well clear of him.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
