Universal Love Brown signs on for 2 years

Reliable defender Luke Brown has agreed to a new two-year deal, which will see him remain a Crow until at least the end of 2017.

Brown, 22, is a key part of Adelaide’s young backline. He routinely stands the best small forwards in the competition and has conceded only seven goals to his direct opponents in 11 games this season.

Recruited from SANFL club Norwood as part of a trade with Greater Western Sydney in 2011, Brown has played 57 AFL games including the past 44 in succession. He hasn’t missed a match since Round 11, 2013.

The unassuming backman is the fourth Crow to put pen to paper in the last fortnight, following midfield duo Rory Sloane and Richard Douglas, and fellow young defender Rory Laird.

“I am really enjoying my football at the moment, so I jumped at the opportunity to re-sign,” Brown said.

“We have an exciting group of players at the Club and I look forward to working hard to achieve team success.”

Another one ticked off the list!

Woohoo!

Quiet achiever. Enjoyed the podcast interview with him as well. Great news.

Under rated on here. Surprising it's only 2 years though.

 

[CIDA]

Is 2 years long enough?

 

[Cap]

2 doesn't even get him to RFA does it?

 

[Moonwatcher]

A bit short, maybe trying to put his contract out of sync with the rest of the playing group?

 

[Vooligan]

Surprised it is only 2 years, considering he's comparable to Laird in age, hometown and potential, but Laird gets a year longer?

Very happy with this one though, he's a quiet achiever and has been pretty solid. He's well on his way to becoming a 200+ gamer for us.

Will take him to 6 years.

Then you sign for 3

Here's a comparison for you all to ponder.

very comparable

i like this signing, don't mind that its only 2 years - puts him out of sync with all the other signings this year. that needs to happen at some stage, don't want all our good up and coming kids coming out of contract at the same time

 

[beartoo]

Anothery! Would have signed him for 5.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Awesome news! I've appreciated what he brings to the team every time he plays. Such a consistent performer and you just know that however he is playing against is going to have a fairly quiet day.

I love the way he goes about it and rate him highly -- glad he's signed for another 2!

Browny needs some gif love

Is anyone concerned that all of our signings are happening at once? And that something larger may have happened in the background?

Danger's gone.

2 makes sense for Brown. He'd aim to improve his game and get a bigger, longer deal in two years time.

This year vs last? Was that a mistake?

I think he's comparing Brown this year to Nick Smith's AA 2014 season.

I know the Sloane deal was holding things up.

Two years and then he walks to Geelong

No wait


Good signing, rate Brownys work in the last couple of years

Tex has signed with Port again?
