not sure about the fraser Brown comments. in 1998 he got 18 votes in the brownlow and won our best and fairest. finished 14 votes behind robert harvey. played 1999 when he made the famous tackle and 2000 and then retired. hard to imagine how he contributed to our salary cap woes in those 2 years as i dont recall him holding the club to ransom or being on big money. i recall him giving his all every time he pulled on the jumper and continuing to support the club to this day.Matty Allan was a classic at doing this and then putting us over a barrel at season's end with threats to walk. But the one I recall most was Fraser Brown, who put together an almost Brownlow winning season going into negotiations for the final contract of his career and scored a massive payday. Never had a season like it before and he never did again. Both these blokes were contributors to our salary cap woes.
