Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
reckon that means Glass is done .... half way through the year word was he was already gone and had people hunting out places in Melbourne to live (i think even his mum was heard to say both her boys will be back in melbourne ) ... its amazing what a few weeks of consistantly being picked to play can do to change the mind ...

Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
Thank God West Coast knocked back what we offered last year. He is, and will only ever be, a GOP.

Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
Dodged a bullet there, hopefully we can find a good defender, someone better than Brown .
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
He can play a bit and would have done a reasonable job for us. That said, the price rumoured last year was way too expensive. Surely we can get someone reasonable without paying through the nose?
Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
When teasm keep banging the ball high to the goal square like Essendon did for Gumbleton and others, Port did for Schultz and Westoff, Geelong Will do for Pods and Hawkins, and we get our undersized back outgunned and/or penalised, then dont complain about not having a GOP fullback.
Brown is not a world beater, but the sum of the whole is more valuable than the individual parts. A Brown type strengthens the backilne as Gilbert and Fisher and Gwilt and Dempster and others dont have to take the monster and can play the 2nd and third forward better.
Would free up Stanley to go forward where he belongs.
So easily dismiss Brown as a GOP and no great loss, but the fact remains - we have no decent fullback and an undermanned undersized backline.
And while we do the Reiwoldts, and the Schultz's and the Gumbletons and Pods and hawkins and Roughhead and Buddy and a whole gaggle of tall forwards will have a field day at our expense.

Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
We can find a cheaper and more than adequate FB from elsewhere. I didn't understand the Mitch Brown obsession that has taken hold of our club. Surely we can find a big defender from somewhere. To be honest, I was surprised that we had no back up plan last year if the Brown deal fell through.
Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
Cam Delaney us playing for north thus weekend, his older brother Luke , is yet to play a game this year and must be keen to look else where. I thought he looks alright when given the chance

Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
St Kilda's defensive structure is not doomed just because it didn't get Brown, it means the focus is elsewhere, which it probably was anyway.
The Pelican is just not silly enough to get on his soap box and tell everyone who wants to listen what their plans are, they would prefer to show
us if and when their plans succeed.
We'll know by the end of the year.

I agree its not doomed. I agree with many that Brown was only a GOP, but many were looking at his game in isolation.
I, like you, am sure that the Pelican is looking further afield for a Brown type who is of similiar ability.
We certainly need one though.

Couldn't get the deal done in the draft,
Now he s signed for 3 years.
WC obviously rate him.
Maybe SW and pel could show the same interest in Buddy perhaps...

If it's that easy why haven't we had a half decent full back for two years?

No interest for Frawley? Or was that all just a pipe dream?

Re: Mitch Brown Gone - West Coast
Brown is a good player - fair amount of sour grapes in this thread ... but that said brown was not the be all to end all so him signing with WCE doesnt really hurt us that much as we now focus on another player
