Why didnt mick malthouse play nathan brown on brendan fevola?

Question

i dont understand after he played on matthew pavlich and kept him to 1 goal kept jonathan brown to 2 goals and matthew richardson to 1 why he didnt play on fevola

Answer 1

I dont know, it was pretty stupid of him, maybe that was why they lost. nah cant blame it on him, the whole team played c**p. they'll do better when they play against nrth melb on sat night.

Answer 2

Mick obviously had his reasons but it was a bad move and cost them the game.

Go the blues...well nice to be able to say it occasionally !!!!

Answer 3

don't get it either, i did say they should try to turn him into a power forward like j.brown but you wouldn't go experimenting while fev was in the same game.

it only shows micks arrogance yet again, along the lines of 'we'll try brown down forward today, we are only playing Carlton'  that ain't fact but it looked that way.

Answer 4

I think it was a stupid move to keep him in the forward when clearly we needed him in defence.

Malthouse will NEVER admit to making a mistake though...hehehe

Answer 5

l am a Collingwood supporter from way back.

l agree with Forky.

But..But..Rocka is the one that we have to get rid of..

Answer 6

Absolutely NO idea - stupid move in my opinion.

'Not even Batman, Superman or SpiderMan could have stopped Fev' is what Mick said

Answer 7

yeah that was a bad move by Mick

Answer 8

AGREE,it was moronic to keep harry o'brien on fev but when Mick did put brown there Fev kicked a goal on him within 4 minutes so maybe thats why? ,collingwood miss clement in the back line thats for sure he seemed to be the general down back and would have been a better match up for Fev.

Answer 9

Mick didn't put Nathan Brown on Fevola because Fevola is nothing similar, in style & build, to the ones you have mentioned - Pavlich, Brown & Richardson.

The Collingwood match committee would have spent some time working out the match-ups prior to the game . Collingwood had no-one out on the ground during the match that could match up to Fevola. Brendon just had one of those days.

Answer 10

Because Nathan Brown is the St George coach

Answer 11

Mick Malthouse did not play Nathan Brown of Fevola because Mick Malthouse & his coaching staff know far more about football than the asker of this question.

Answer 12

yeah i was listening to the game on the radio and i couldn't understand why browny was in the pies foward.

hmmm tough one cos nathan has played on top fowards in the last few weeks so i don't no why mick didn't play him on fev

however lucky mick put browny in the foward cos he kicked 2 goals. he's a good player.

he was also an elite basketball player and was actually aiming to make it into the mens basketball team for the olympics.

Answer 13

Coz Batman was on Brad Fisher,  Superman was on Chris Judd and Spiderman was on Nick Stevens!

Answer 14

He kept the others down to low goals because the rest of the team made the delivery into the opposition foward line difficult ,against Carlton they sat on their backsides thinking it would be an easy win and just as everyone with half a football brain knows that Fev would have kicked that many on the best full back ever with the way Collingwood let Carlton play

Answer 15

They way the ball was delivered to Fev it wouldn't of mattered who was on him. I was at the game and I thought that there was only two times that Harry got it wrong. (Also I hate to admit it but when Fev is on no one can stop him)

In previous weeks, the midfield have done the job of putting pressure on the ball coming into the forward line and Nathan Brown has been excellent at spoiling the ball. This week the ball was being put into positions that couldn't have been stopped without taking out Fevola's arms. With the way the rules are being interpreted these days, a backman is only as good as the midfield allows the ball to come in.

We lost the game all over the field. There was no accountability for manning up and Carlton simply outplayed us. End of story.

Answer 16

It was a questionable move...probably better if Mick Malthouse put Nathan Brown on the Fev but Brown did kick a goal or 2 up forward....

so it's either way....he should be a midfielder...
