Past #50: Ben Brown - Traded to Melbourne with 2020 #28 + 2021 R4 for 2020 #26 #33 + 2021 R4(Bris) - 130 gms / 287 gls - thanks Ben

[marklovesbeer]

this choice suprised me.

not because I know minimal information about the kid but the fact that he is a ruck man...

Planning further ahead...?

 

[Yianni]

How tall is he?

Could he play KP defence?

Petrie succession plan?

I know some aren't happy with this pick but I reckon he has some x factor about him.
Watching a few Foxtel cup games last year he stood out, has raw talent but I'm rapt he's a roo.

Welcome aboard young fella!

Can play forward and is very agile for his size. Dominated a game in the wet in Perth earlier in the year, and when I mean wet it was pissing down all night.

More of a forward than ruckman according to his own opinion.

Stoked with 'Side Show Ben' - a speculative pick no doubt but has ridiculous capabilities for a bloke his size

 

[TommyVercetti]

Welcome Carrot Top.

I'll also add, Scott West is a huge wrap for BB, I didn't think it was possible but I'm glad he is on our list.

 

[Psicosis]

Nothing really available after 47, definitely worth a risk.

 

[Maddocks44]

Could this be the return of the big ugly defender??

 

[trooroo4life]

Surprised, we will give him a go though. Still a very raw talent, but he is going to have spend alot of time in the weights room if he wants to play as a tall forward in the AFL.

 

[Roopassion]

There was a few notable that never got drafted. James battersby and Eli templeton are 2 of the top my head

 

[Event Horizon]

Awesome highlights package from Brown. I'd play him ahead of Tarrant almost day 1.

 

[hottieburger]

Video highlights look impressive.. If he was 18 how much higher would've he gone? Very happy with the selection.

 

[gustev]

Got to a 3-4 bees games this year. BB certainly impressed me. His influence on the games I saw was up there with Maj's and Currie's. He has got good top speed for a big bloke, judges the ball well in the air and is shows great intent and attack on the footy. I'm stoked for the bloke and for us.

Our recruiters said on sen that he was recruited as a back up if Goldy / Currie went down as a ready replacement but also mindful he had the potential to rest up forward and do well

 

[Dan]

Watching the highlights...he has a bit of Corey McKernan about him.

 

[Booze Nasty]

Early this year he took a mark at Frankston, at full extension, that Royce Hart would have been proud of.
I like this selection.

 

[Daz]

For starters, I don't like picking tall forwards late in the draft full stop. As for Brown, I've always thought he doesn't move like a natural forward.

 

[Daz]

Strongly disagree on both points.

 

[Event Horizon]

Strongly disagree on both points.

Time will tell

 

[Deep We11s 1]

Strongly disagree on both points.

Well our full time recruiters think differently and I think they've got a better handle on potential talent than you.

Welcome BB, the comparisons with Cory Mc are well founded.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Well I called it! LB2Snake back me up!

Impressed with his game in Perth for the Foxtel cup. I'll back our boys. Should have been a rookie selection though
