Brown broke his arm in the R9 loss to Adelaide — scored 6 and didn't finish the game. He's out until R14-15, which is five to six rounds of dead weight on your bench. This is coming off back-to-back career bests (117, 112) so the timing is savage, but there's no choice: trade him immediately before the 6-point score collapses his price further and you lose the trade value he's built.
