Toast Jonathan Brown appreciation thread

[POBT]

How I will remember him:

In celebration of his career, I am going to spend the rest of the day with one arm in the air, pointing at an imaginary crowd.

 

[SRH17]

Already some disgusting comments on the mainboard, by a Collingwood supporter no less, saying us forcing him to retire is confirmation of us tanking.

The supporters of that club really are a stain on society.

Morons, they still cant get over the fact that it didn't matter how much money they threw at him, he couldn't stomach the thought of playing for the filth.

Just wanted to stop by and congratulate Jonathan Brown on a wonderful and successful career that's lasted 15 years. He was one of my favorite Brisbane Lions players and was an integral part of the three Premierships. He's achieved so much during his career and he goes down as one of the best center half forwards of the modern era. Well done to Jonathan Brown on his career and good luck to him in the future.

What a champion, both on and off the field. Sad day in footy.

Browny did the right thing today. He'll go down as one of the all time greats of the game. And as far as characters go, they don't get any more likeable than Jonathon Brown. Loyal to the end, and courage that was at time ridiculous, and absolute legend. Massive shoes to fill.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Could sense it coming, but still difficult to prepare for when he did call time. Upsetting to know we'll never see him pull on the boots again.

Thanks Browny, you're a true legend of our club.

 

[Only Forwards]

Played the game the way it is intended.

Was a deadset up, who often tore us to shreds.

 

[Dom PC]

Well... that's all she wrote folks. The last of our champions from our three-peat. Wouldn't change anything for what we did there. Thanks for everything Browny - from the huge roll you played in the premierships to the hope and excitement you gave after it.

 

[MacMum]

That's that then......feel flat as a tack.

 

[luthor]

Probably a good idea to change the title of the tread.

 

[Der Kaiser]

One of the all time greats, sad to see him go as he was a great footballer to watch. One of the most courageous players ever, goes out a triple premiership champ.. can't be to disappointed with that. Hall of Fame awaits him. Good luck with the future Brisbane fans.

 

[Panthera]

Thank you big fella

 

[Eons]

Sad, sad day. What an absolute champion. You will be sorely missed but never forgotten. Hope he stays on in some capacity at the club in the future.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I hope anyone that gets up for a hot dog at half time on Saturday chokes on it.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Won't be the same without him. Thanks so much big fella.

 

[Powerstufff]

Hats off to the big man. Funny how when a champion like Browny hands in his guernsey you feel the game won't be the same. Yet a year later they are commenting on a footy show and new stars are coming along. He was a fearsome opponent and I feel a selfish relief that we won't ever be taken apart by him again. But I will miss watching him against other teams. Best of luck big fella!

A legend of this club and a champion of the game.

Thanks JB.

 

[CarloLion]

What a classy presser....

Jeez he'll be missed. Good to hear he's sticking around for the year though

 

[patfullfankezz]

Today is also the one year anniversary of the Miracle on Grass - I think as fitting a day as ever for him to retire.

Just went outside with my co-workers and had a kick of the footy for him.

Thanks JB for giving your everything to the club. Not a drop left in the tank ever with that guy.

 

[Armadeo]

Great career. Well done to the big man.
