    Jonathan Brown Retires.

    Great player of the modern era and has done the right thing for his health and family.

    Champ. I wish we had players starting their careers like his. First three seasons, three flags. Most courageous since Archer, I can't imagine how hard his tackle would GD if he had momentum.

    Great footballer, and a good bloke by all accounts .
    Pretty handy left arm pace bowler as well.

    Sad to see him call it a day, but seems a sensible decision.

    Was a great player at his peak and very courageous.

    Probably my favorite non Bulldog player. Sad to see him step down but when that time calls you have to answer and he made the right decision.

    Same. One of few non Bulldogs I absolutely love. Champion of the game, hard as a cat's head (maybe harder!), ripping bloke too. All the best, Browny.

    King o' the Bogans! That's a bit rough.......he actually comes across as a good guy.

    Very very good player, great career and a smart decision to call it a day. I really hope he has a life post footy without any ongoing issues associated with the head trauma he received whilst playing.

    Not sure where he sits in terms of all time KPF rankings. I think his three flags inflated his stature somewhat.
