Strength.

That's what this kid needs. Lock him in the gym and get him strong.

 

[Roopassion]

Sorry utility, this guy is a shocking mark and he showed it tonight.

Needs a huge preseason working on his marking and how he judges the flight of the ball. Such a gigantic player, you can't have him dropping marks like that in a big final when he has so much size on his side..

Really let us down tonight.

Nothing wrong with his judge of the flight, just needs to stick them more. He's always first hands to the ball but they just don't stick

 

[Event Horizon]

Unfortunately Ariel Steinberg wasn't playing for West Coast tonight...

 

[Deadeyeroo]

Gets his hands to it but drops the pill too offen. Needs to improve in that area.

 

[naturally north]

Bloody good player who had a poor one. I look forward to having him on the list for the next 10 years.

I like the next bloke want him to succeed, that would have been his tenth poor game for the season.

 

[NMFCARSENAL98]

Don't think he's the great white hope as everyone seems to think he is.. To put it lightly he is an
A Grade plodder

 

[nelroo]

Ease up on the kid.
It will burn in his guts all preseason I reakon.
It will drive him for next year I have no doubt.
He is made of the right stuff.

To put it lightly you are a moron.

yeah he's no great talent, has a few on here bluffed though. Once the ball hits the deck he's done, can't tackle to safe his life. Is ok at marking on his terms can't handle body pressure and isn't a great kick. Adding he can't ruck either.

Apart from that he may play 200 games.

This thread is about Brown not Majak.

Is this, is this for real?

 

[Psicosis]

His last month has been horrendous. I'm not really sure why, whether it is a confidence issue, it seemed like tonight. I saw similarities to Aaron Blacks 2015 finals campaign in Bens this year. I think he will learn a lot from this month of footy though and improve, which Black didnt do.

In regards to the great white hope. I think he is going to be a good key forward. Do I think he is going to be elite? No. Which is exactly why we need to get another key forward to help him out when Drew and Waite are finished. To put things in perspective, imagine how poor Brown would have been if he had McGovern playing on him tonight.

 

[naturally north]

In what part did I get it wrong?

one hitout?

one tackle?

I like Brown, I just don't think he's streets ahead of others.

He's good below his knees.

His marking needs work. His ruckwork is vastly improved.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Hasn't had a pre-season yet, lost a bit of confidence this finals but proved he was up to it last year. Will be a great player.

 

[Black2Blue]

He was playing a great game against the Demons, when he hurt his knee. Has struggled since then. I think he has lost confidence in his body and it has affected his whole game. Wouldn't be surprised if he is in for some knee surgery/clean up next week.

It was frustrating watching him tonight, but the writing him off is a bit rich.

 

[archereleven]

Its easy to say he was poor, but he was mugged consistently. Needs to mark and convert. He hurt the team tonig

 

[Duck king Carey]

He tired towards the end of the year, he will get his first pre season before 2016 the club will know what to work on over the summer. Marking and upper body strength.

 

[Ry009]

This.

Big 2016 for BBB.

I give him the benefit of the doubt - Maj travelling was obviously an insurance policy - he's been carrying something

 

[Harris 10]

His upper body strength is ok, it's his core strength that's the problem.

Never been able to work on it, but hopefully he gets a crack at it this preseason.

 

[Junk yard]

22yrs old. Picked in the 40s, attacks the ball hard, loves the club and plays with passion. Will be a big part of our team for the next 5 years or so. To call him a plodder is ridiculous.

 

[jess_1804]

Gee, people have short memories around here. Some absolutely pathetic posts.

He's 22 and never had a full preseason. Yes, his finals series this year hasn't been too crash hot, but he has the ability to win the game off his own boot (EF vs Essendon, anyone?).

 

[Only Forwards]

33 games 6 of which have been finals.

One of which he kicked massive clutch goals to sway the tide.

But nah he's a plodder.
