Lol he'll be 6 months from 35 when he retires. So ok 34. What player is ok 500-600k at 34 and who gets a 3 year deal on that coin at 31-32

Wouldn't have a clue, I'm not saying it's a great deal, but saying it's terrible is a bit much. If he stays injury free I think it will be worth it and our club has faith that we can do that. Clubs take risks all the time, yours did last year giving up a second rounder for Freeman. He could never play a game or become a very good player. Like Wells we're not going to know if the deal was good or bad for a few years yet.
Chris Mayne - Strange signing.
Nathan Brown is no champion but I think he is a good fit for us in 2017. Last 3 years, Saints more than any other team has been destroyed by gorilla forwards - Hogan, Cameron, Kennedy, Walker even Cloke have all kicked bags against us. Brown becomes an option.
Surprised Pies did not counter because they seem to have a similar need.

Didn't actually say that we were a chance for finals. Or that Leuey was elite. So keep trying.
Browns a spud. Ask an pie supporter with an ounce of intelligence.

You'd hope he's only back-up now that Hurley and Hooker are back from their syrnge siesta.
No need to bag him, he'll be delisted before too long and that other VFL spud will then become the back up. Francis is it? Show a bit of respect mate, you need those plodders in case of injuries.

With Marsh out the door and Reid fragile, very perplexing.
I think the Saints are doing well with trade period, Brown is handy cover, Steele is decent and Stevens will be value.

My comment still stands from another thread - D&T board is worse than Bay 13 for trolling.
Wells is a decent enough player and a good fit for Collingwood, Brown is a decent enough player and a good fit for St Kilda, why make the condescending malicious comments for?

I thought we didn't get compensation because we already signed other free agents?

Doesn't matter if restricted or unrestricted.
Michael Hartley would be good right now.
Thanks Pies

Fairly obvious Gubby Allan has come in and decided the club needed a bit of a clean out. Brown and Cloke were extremely disappointing this year given the amount of young kids we played due to injury and these experienced players showing absolutely no leadership. Their best is well and truly behind them and the club need to replenish these funds experienced types.
Having said that, the saints have been in need of another large bodied defender so a reasonable pick up for them. It seems they haven't really offered him that much $$ so a fairly low risk pickup anyway.
Can't help but think the pies have their sights on someone given they were happy to let brown walk.

I'm not sure but I assume it is because his Saints contract is not above the compensation threshold?
2 years on small $.

Brown just isn't very good, was never the same after the knee, was consistantly outbodied this year, good luck to him though, always gives his all.

Very surprised to see any comments about this insinuating it's a bad move for us, not just on here but twitter and fb. Yes he's not an amazing footballer but I literally can't remember the time we 2 genuine AFL quality KPDs, hell we haven't even had one since Zac Dawson and that's clutching at straws saying he's AFL standard. We got him for free and ideally is just depth by 2018 if Goddard comes along, not sure we can lose here unless he starts becoming a genuine disadvantage giving up goals but I think he'll surprise a few next year and be a very solid pick up.
