JoeDan should earn his way back through the two’s as most other players would have to.

I was talking to a mate I sit with who was bagging him for “not being a key forward”. I told him that on that definition Scott Lucas wasn’t a key forward, and that wide-ranging, running CHFs had been doing pretty well for us since Terry Daniher.

I wanna see Daniher, McKernan and Brown play in the same forwardline at least once please football gods.
There’s still a place in the game for athletic talls without bulk who can run and lead all day, helps when you’re an excellent kick at goal, and you can’t put a small on him because he’ll beat them overhead

A modern day player with an 80s player build.
You need a Mitch Brown in the side who’s links between arcs and can kick goals.
Will be vital in any games on the MCG because he simply runs his opponents into the ground.
I think having Daniher and Stringer only helps his game further.

Not sure of his stats for accuracy, but he’s got a nice action and he’s kicked enough “good goals” to be confident he’s an excellent chance to slot it through. For his pre-match routine on Saturday he was kicking them through beautifully.

A lot of the time that’s true, but Scotty was more than capable of dropping deep and doing a lot of damage. (Which he did a lot, later in his career). He was a sensational contested mark, Brown’s only so-so IMO.

He’s very under-rated by all. Especially by me. Somehow I continue to rate him as borderline best-22. And yet (as I said in the game day thread) we always seem to look better organised when he’s in the team. One minute he’ll be taking grabs in the forward line, the next he’ll be stopping a goal in defence, then he’ll be acting as a link through the midfield.
He never seems to excel in any single position, and yet his versatility is useful. Perhaps it’s just that which is vital in allowing other players to do their roles better. In any case, I’m rapidly coming around to the idea that we are a better team with him in it.

I was big on his end of 2018.
I dropped off him after the first round, but was the whole team to be honest.
His numbers and kms make him a poor mans Nick Riewolt. His game against the lions was exceptional, if he can throw up games near that consistently he is going to be very difficult to stop.
How we fit all of Clarke, Belly, Daniher, McKernan and Brown in throughout the season will be interesting.
Great game, Mitch.

Lot on nuffs with not a lot of clue… Work rate on this bloke is something to behold hey?! Just huge, exactly what you need from your forwards in this era. Interesting to see what structure they go with once Joe is back, because Brown would be terrible stiff to miss out. Maybe Stringer plays further up the ground or Joe spends more time in the ruck?

There were some other gems. I think you called him a poor mans James Stewart? Apology pending.
He’s always been good. People just have short memories. Glad he’s getting some props for his great game though. He’s been copping it around here over the last couple of weeks.

He had a great game but it’s just one game.
He’s got to produce that consistently.
4 goals from three games is nothing to get carried away with just yet.
Haha, i expected that.
