J. Brown or L. Franklin???

I'm not really sold on either of them. Franklin seems the kind of bloke where one thing could go wrong and it can derail his entire season.

People keep saying that but he keeps performing. Could it be a myth?
 
It'd be a more interesting idea if Brown could get a kick this week. ;D

Brown at his stage. I'm biased because I like an aggressive brand of footballer and Brown has that giving him a huge intimidation factor.

I can't believe you're the first Brown advocate SB! Proven high pressure performer versus flash in the pan new kid! Buddy's got a long way to go to be in Brown's league. Sure sides worry about him, but not physically. Which converts to psychologically.
 
Brown by a mile, triple premiership player, leadership and toughness something Buddy hasnt got and will never have. I would rather a champion team, than champion players. Buddy seems to individual and Brown is a team player.

He is a monty this week Jack. In fact I backed him for most goals of the round.

They have Melbourne and they are going to man up Bradshaw and leave Brown one out against who? Nathan Caroll? Pfft. I have had more talented toasted cheese sandwiches then him. A poor man's Scotty Turner. A Spice Girl wannabe.

Nothing more psychological for the opposition than kicking many miraculous goals. The feeling of helplessness. I love Brown, a strong tough hard player who is struggling right now. Probably getting very close past his peak, tough players like him do tend to finish up earlier. The end result is you kick goals to win matches. I'd love either in the Tiger side but based on this year's performances and the age difference I'd prefer Franklin right now.
 
At the same age Brown in a heartbeat.
At this stage of their careers Browns on the slide while Buddy is just coming on song.
