i know, right. i think the term top-up is disrespectful. he helped out in our hour of need!

.

(yes, i know)…

He’s been really good this year. Holds his marks, usually kicks pretty straight and keeps on leading all game every game. Very glad he’s staying

Gives us depth and flexibility. If he’s not best 22 then he keeps a number of other players honest. Love how hard he runs to positions on the wing, keeps defenders honest and out of the way of Smack or JD - well deserved contract and great moustache.

Wasn’t he a top-up in pre-season 2015 under Hirdy? Then drafted at end of that year under Woosha?

Yes. So he basically didn’t come in as a top-up

Correct

Well done to Mitch. Workhorse of the team and shows why he was so high a pick originally. Plus his kicking at goal is A+

Goddard would have freed up some money, probs not as much as when he first came in but his back end of the contract would still have been 500k+ right? Plus Green/Jacko…so might have 750k free. 1st year players from the draft wont get much…90k or so yeah…especially if we give our pick 8 up. The guys that signed probably only got more years not more money

Reading between the lines of this announcement, this contract has a trigger in it…so it could roll over into 2020.

Secondly, the flexibility of Brown…makes Hartley that little bit more expendable from a list perspective.

He would have been the perfect partner to Hawkins at the Cats should they have stuck with him.

But they didn’t, so he isn’t. Ahhh, that felt good.

found it - against Fremantle. That is a seriously nice kick.

Mitch Brown has a massive tank and is fast and is very well suited to the high half forward role. However, that is the role Joey plays. SMack and Hooker are better playing deep ( goal square forward) so really Mitch Brown is the Joey replacement, but he is a 1.3 goals a game player compared with Joey at 2.8
