Delisted #28: Mitch Brown - Retired - 20/9/22

[Its Manbearpig]

A bit shocked over this one. Hes seemed like a required player with our makeshift forwardline of late

 

[DapperJong]

Hmm.

I mean we should aim to be a team without him on the list but I don’t think we are there yet.

 

[andleanback]

Kicked 3 goals and had 20 on three occasions this year. Good depth player surely deserved 1 more year.

 

[Haychh]

This makes no sense. Don’t like it at all. Must be supremely confident James Stewart is going to be ready to go Round 1

 

[Duckworth]

Was serviceable, but he can't take an overhead mark or play as a KPF. Made a game out of being a hard running medium forward. Was the right call.

 

[Lore]

Makes me wonder what else we have up our sleeve if we feel like we're in a position where this is an appropriate move.

 

[Milanista28]

Hooker or Langford with more forward presence next year? We have plenty of options if you think about it.

Probably the right call

 

[jmoo wan]

sad. with him gone, Tippa is now the last of our top ups - its almost the end of an era.

 

[Shanghaistu]

That’s 7 delistings and 3 retirements. Big clean out - is Truck sending a signal of what type of players he wants by 2021 round 1?

 

[Bjchan13]

Buzza or any other DFA could be lined up?

Interesting call, but if we are fully fit he's well and truly down the pecking order.

All the best Mitch you always gave 100%

Buzza immediately came to mind as a possible rookie pick up

 

[greysong]

Satisfied with this. Glad the club has the guts to move on a C Grader in the hope of developing others into B Grade or better.

 

[Doss]

Poor call in my view.

Still got Hartley.

 

[boncer34]

Poor call in my view.

Indeed. We must be super confident on Daniher and Stewart as being fit to move him on.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Was serviceable, but he can't take an overhead mark or play as a KPF. Made a game out of being a hard running medium forward. Was the right call.

Disagree. He’s our best kick for goal out of the key forwards and was our best link up player. Played well in several games when in reality he should be playing as a roaming half forward rather than KPF. He also could play back if required which would’ve been handy considering Hurley and hookers ageing bodies.

We’ll now definitely draft KPP instead of midfielders.

Stewart does not replace him. Daniher replaces him.

Our optimal forward line is

Smack and Daniher crashing packs.

Tippa, Fantasia and Smith adding pressure and class.

Stringer adding X-Factor.

 

[Kettles]

Nup. Poor form from Essendon. I feel sorry for the bloke.

 

[ghostdog]

Well, no sign of a holding pattern.

 

[Vindicater]

The Hurley who is all of 2 months older than Brown?

 

[Haychh]

Stewart does not replace him. Daniher replaces him.

Our optimal forward line is

Smack and Daniher crashing packs.

Tippa, Fantasia and Smith adding pressure and class.

Stringer adding X-Factor.

Either/or for mine. Daniher is touch and go to be right for round 1 as well. Brown is the perfect depth player, cheap, versatile and you always knew what you were getting with him. I wouldn’t have been opposed to giving him 2 years. This makes no sense at all

 

[Bjchan13]

Hooker or Langford with more forward presence next year? We have plenty of options if you think about it.

Probably the right call

Id like to see both Hooker and Langford forward all year.

 

[Don Won]

Thanks Mitch. Hope someone picks you up, still got game left in you.

 

[eth-dog]

I'm thinking one of two things:

1. He's been offered 2 years elsewhere and we're making it easier for him

2. We're committed to Hooker forward.

 

[MarkG]

He played some good football. His biggest problem was his body holding up. If they got Jenkins, I can understand his contract not being renewed. Any chance they are looking at Henderson as a replacement?

 

[Bjchan13]

Disagree. He’s our best kick for goal out of the key forwards and was our best link up player. Played well in several games when in reality he should be playing as a roaming half forward rather than KPF.

Mitch's delisting opens up the ability to now use 3 ND picks. Im thinking/hoping for 2 mids and a KPF.
