AFL FANTASY TAKE
The injury is not ideal for the Kangaroos with Brown being their main target up forward, Nick Larkey emerged last year as another key target.
First year rookie Charlie Comben has shown signs of his forward craft this pre-season, he is still lightly framed but is one to watch out for in the future as a Forward/Ruck.
Brown is a pass in classic & a late round selection in deep draft leagues only.
