导出博客文章Former West Coast defender Mitch Brown says he couldnt help but feel lost after
failing to find a new AFL home, but hes made peace with the outcome and doesnt
hold any regrets.Brown turned down a contract extension at the Eagles in a bid
to find a new AFL club in Melbourne, where his netballer wife Shae had moved.But
Browns AFL dream came to a crushing end after being overlooked in the national,
rookie and pre-season drafts.Aged just 27 and with 94 games under his belt,
Brown felt he had plenty more to give on the AFL stage.But the 195cm veteran is
weighing up whether to continue his football career at a lower level, or embark
on a different profession.Brown revealed he didnt even listen to Mondays rookie
draft.Instead, he caught a train in Melbourne just for fun, before his manager
called to deliver the bad news that hed been overlooked.Its been a total mind
explosion, Brown told EON Sports Radio.I sort of made peace with it all. But it
did hit home a little bit.Since then, my phone has been flat out from country
teams. Theres been some towns Ive never heard of before wanting my services next
year.I really dont know whether I want to play footy.Brown was snared by the
Eagles as a 17-year-old with pick No.16 in the 2006 national draft.He said being
cut loose from the AFL system had been a weird experience, especially after
spending all of his adult life there.Theres been guys who have played 10, 15
years at the Eagles ... and theyre 100 per cent set for life after footy, Brown
said.But they still go through this period of six or 12 months where they have
this loss of identity.It nearly happens to everyone, because we follow this
schedule for so long.We literally get a piece of paper that tells you you have
to be here, here and here - for 10 years.Suddenly, you wake up and say, What do
I do?.Brown praised the AFL Players Association for making sure axed or retired
players werent cast entirely into the wilderness after their career.But he felt
more improvements could be made.It does take a lot of courage to ask for help
and be vulnerable, Brown said.Because for all your career, you get built up by
the fans as this hero, and you can do literally anything.So you finish your
career and go, I actually need some help.Brown described himself as a hopeless
romantic, and he fully supported wife Shaes decision to join Collingwood in
Australias new Super Netball competition, which starts in February.

court when the match ended after giving a long embrace at the net to longtime
friend Sela. The Cypriot is seeking his fifth career ATP title.We know each
other from a very young age, Baghdatis said. A lot of emotions.Playing on the
stadium court two days after calling a side court ridiculously bad, the

behind 5-1 before rallying on Newports grass courts.The tournament is held on

inside the stadium helped him relax.For sure, I know that the stadium court is
much better than the other court, he said. I knew that today was going to be
some real tennis on the court. Thats pretty important to me. If Im going to
lose, Im going to because the guy was better than me. I dont like to lose
because the conditions were ugly for the players.Once play resumed, Mannarino
continued his strong play.I was just trying to focus on my game (during the
delay) and what I have to do, he said. It worked pretty well. When I got back on
court, I was pretty consistent.Mannarino, the only Frenchman remaining in the
field, was handed a French flag by a media member who wished him a Happy
Bastille Day at a post-match news conference.On Tuesday, Mannarino said of a
side court: The court is just ridiculously bad. Were playing (next to) the other
court. Youve got the camera, the microphone on the court. You cant really move.
This is really not respectful for the players to come, that kind of
court.Mannarino entered the week ranked 55th on the ATP tour.
