Most of that shit was due to his manager. Not Ben himself. He wanted to stay at North.

You can say what ya want about the situation but Ben is a top, kind-hearted fella. The world would be a better place if there were more like him.

looking for a new employer ?

 

[DuckYeah]

Ben Brown looking for a new employer ?

Why?

 

[Hojuman]

Why?

Subbed out, BIG knee bandage, looked proppy......>>>>> Van Rooyen. Big mark, big tackle, goal assist's, kicked 3.

 

[Luke72]

I’m glad Browny found a new home and got a premiership. Seems a nice bloke. I still think it was the right decision by the club to move on.

 

[Hojuman]

Playing this week ?

Van Rooyen the new shiny toy.

Bye ***

With Melbourne done for the year, Brown is apparently a player Melbourne might put on the trade block for the final year of his 2024 contract apparently.

I'd welcome him back to North. Sure, he'd be a 1 to 2 year player for us at most, but this is his home and he'll help Larkey even more.

Open to it but he isn’t getting a big pay day

My inclination is to say no, as bringing Ben back is a backward step for the development of our future forward line

I don’t like this idea at all. He’s cooked. I’d get him back as an AFLW assistant coach as I think he was really invested and did a great job while he was involved with that. He seems like a good bloke.

Nah, pass. He can go mow ramanauskas lawns instead

 

[big_e]

Loved him, didn't want him to leave but it would be madness to bring him back.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

In my darkest moments I've considered this but in my darkest moments I've also considered Preuss too.

Fact is the guy is as shot as he was in the covid year with us. Even in the premiership year which was his best he had supreme service and still averaged less than two goals a game and he's been pretty much a VFL or casualty ward fixture since then. He's not going to improve on any of that at 31.

Let's just remember him fondly, as the guy we made socks out of (well, not literally).

 

[The acurate one]

Larkey has developed nicely without bumbling Ben Browns in the way.

We’re need to move fwd not backwards.FFS amd I think I’m mad.

 

[amaz199]

He's cooked. We won't ever again see him anywhere near 2019-Brown. Love the bloke and all but he's just not the same forward we once had.

If he's struggling with a team that finished top four three years in a row then his deficiencies will be further exposed with us.

 

[Merlin007]

People were screaming blue murder at Rawlings for letting BB go, but events have proven it was the right call. Imagine having two years still to go on big money.

The point Rawlings made at the time - we got what we could when there was only one bidder - is currently being confirmed in spades with the auction that McKay's manager is orchestrating. If we got unders for BB then it's the reverse with McKay. Things have a habit of evening out

 

[RightWingRoo]

Was a genuine gun from 2017-19, and should've got at least one AA selection in that period. But the knee we were worried about in 2020, is utterly cooked now. Only another 10-15 games left in him.

 

[Rockstar6]

Hope he gets thrown on the scrap heap. Do not want (back). Charlie Comben is the future pairing with Larkey

 

[hellas_johnny]

Rumour Richmond might be in for him

 

[Horizons_00]

No to BBB. He’s done.

 

[tazaa]

F*** him. The way the media ragged on us after they won the flag in 2021 was bullshit.
Stick the medal and your contract

No deal

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Bens only elite skill was his hard straight leads and ability to finish. His knee is cooked and can’t get out of a trot. He was a gun and I’m glad he got paid.
