Why on earth would you wantto keep Browne? Done less than zero even in the VFL. Time is up.

Really? Been better this year then last.
Ruckman always take a little longer to mature.

The fact that you ask is a worry ,then to say he has done very little is the icing.
22 yo ruckman & you say get rid of him,lol

Can also add that he has dominated games. In one I think he had around 40 hit outs, a dozen marks and ran his butt off all game.

A keeper for me.

Because he has many good AFL traits, including aggression. A very important trait that one.

His form this year has been quite reasonable for a 22 year old ruckman.
 
I still have faith in the big ranga. Have seen enough glimpses in the AFL and enough domination in the VFL to know he can be an effective AFL ruckman once he hits his mid 20s. Gus, on the other hand, at 25 and with opportunities at AFL level has shown he is definitely not up to it.

Keep Browne, bye bye Gus.
 
David Hille! He is out of contract, bombers want to get rid of him, i do not understand why are people not in favour of getting him for 1-2 years? We have graham and browne who are not adequate backups.

Not to mention the 97 hit out game he had in the Coburg development game! :o

Too slow, not agile enough, too old.

Huge no.

What are the good AFL traits? There are 1000's of players out there with aggression, AFL rucks need more than that.
 
Browne has a good footy brain, is a good tap ruck, takes a good mark, but is slow as treacle. I'd give him more time.
 
Reckon slow ruckmen can overcome this deficiency by building a huge tank. As long as they can outrun their opponent late in games.
