Re: Mitch Brown
I would take him personally... We do have a fair number of key position players but depth?
Sam Fisher - past his best and will retire at the end of next season
Sam Gilbert - significant concerns about his durability and if he manages to stay on the park, is he actually any good anymore? Say whatever you will about his injuries, but he hasn't had s good season since 2010.
Luke Delaney - seems relegated to depth player at the moment, many don't reckon he'll play past next season
Tom Lee - I rate him higher than most but he is absolutely playing for his career this season
Jake Carlisle - will pbly be ok but has WADA, and reportedly a bad attitude with illicit drug concerns hanging over his head
Paddy McCartin remains likely but unproven
Though they're not going anywhere, i think it's fair to say that both Longer and Hickey at least have their share of doubters out there.
Pbly the only lock ins we have in our spine at the moment are Roo and Bruce
I guess what it comes down to is how much we rate this guy. Yes we absolutely need mids, BUT we need good ones and this is rated as a shallow draft and we only really have one good pick.
Personally, I would pull the trigger on Ray and snap Mitch up. He's bigger now and ready to play with a good attitude.

Re: Mitch Brown
Don't think he will last to the Rookie Draft, might get taken in the ND.
If there's no decent mid the Saints rate, at whatever pick - ND or Rookie - I wouldn't mind them taking Brown. On the short list of delisted Likes, along with Adcock.

Re: Mitch Brown
Good player
Far better than Beau Maister, Luke Delaney, Adam Pattison, Will Johnson, Steven Gaertner, Arryn Siposs, Tom Simpkin
And we drafted all of them
Brown was easily above VFL standard as seen by the fact he dominated most games either fwd, back or midfield. He was pretty much like CJ, Farren and Schnieds when they played VFL... Above the standard.

Re: Mitch Brown
Would definitely draft if we had a late draft selections - he wont make it through to the rookie draft! Would make a very good back up or could displace Membrey as our third tall....
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

Re: Mitch Brown
You'd think he is a certainty to be in the AFL next year but I doubt we will go for him given we have Fisher, Delaney and Tom Lee as depth down back. Dempster, Roberton, Goddard and Carlisle will be first choice youd think.

Fisher will still be first choice. He isn't playing to help at sandy or if we have injury. He thinks he is in the best 22 and baring injury I think he is ahead of most you have named ahead of him. I know we need to get games into some but there is no rush. I think he will play ahead of Goddard for most of the year. Goddard will get his chances but like McCartin there is no rush.

Re: Mitch Brown
Geez, I don't know R66. Goddard came ahead in leaps and bounds last year and was near to our best defender by the end of the year.ripplug66 wrote:Con Gorozidis wrote:You'd think he is a certainty to be in the AFL next year but I doubt we will go for him given we have Fisher, Delaney and Tom Lee as depth down back.

Re: Mitch Brown
The PSD/rookie list is beginning to flesh out though...if Carlton or Essendon don't take Zac O'Brien or Matthew Wright with their first picks I'd be very surprised. Personally, I'd prefer either of them over Brown, but I'm only going off past AFL form not being up to speed with MB's Zebs form.MCG-Unit wrote:Don't think he will last to the Rookie Draft, might get taken in the ND.

Re: Mitch Brown
Reminds me a bit of former Saint, David Grant (in playing style) . Could be worth considering in case Paddy and Membrey don't give us much next season...anyone who can take a strong contested mark in the forward line is a bonus.

Re: Mitch Brown
I concur. Minchington and Brown nearly won the prelim for Sandringham just by themselves. Brown looked a cut above nearly all on the field, especially in the air. He can really clunk them.BigMart wrote:Good player

Re: Mitch Brown
He was good but he's a huge unit and he will tire. You really can't expect him to play more than about 15 games with out risking injury or fatigue. I think he will still play plenty of VFL. Carlisle is a lock. It will be interesting to see if Fisher can have 2 injury free seasons. Generally we were lucky this year with injury to key personnel.Bunk_Moreland wrote:Geez, I don't know R66.
