    Does anyone ever remeber playing Collingwood and being concerned about what Gavin Brown would do?

    That is a joke
    Why is it a joke? He was a great player and he was captain. Just because he received hardly any brownlow votes, doesn't mean he's a dud player. He is a champion. Very un-heralded.

      He was a very mediocre footballer.

      Name for me the great games he's played?

        Clutching at straws there.

        Do I watch Collingwood that closely. You don't go by freakin' brownlow votes to find champions.

          I'm with Reggi on this one. In Jack Dyer's words he was a good average footballer, maybe a touch better than that, but a great footballer, get out of here.

          Longevity; yes, Captian; yes but a Hall of Famer, heck no.

          I would have thought clubs would have paid far more attention to Tony Morwood as he was a dangerous forward than Gavin Brown, but Tony wouldn't even get a sniff of Hall of Fame.

          What about Tuddy and "character". He was done for handling stolen goods twice, stolen tyers I believe. I guess as long a you are not on drugs and not fixing up someones missus then it is OK for Hall of Fame.

            Can anyone tell me if John Nicholls is in the Hall of Fame. He did time for "things shifty".

            My now deceased uncle a staunch Carlton supporter swore that he saw said player with a wad of notes as thick as his thigh out side the ground after a game aginst North. Played the worst game of his career and North did them in a big upset, mmm.
