Brown said it was just a ”one-show summer” but he would talk with the coaches before completely ruling out a future appearance. ACT coach Ashley Ross was hopeful he could retain Brown for the team’s final match of the season against Tasmania next month. But before the Victoria match started Brown said he was not planning to become a regular member of the side again. ”I’ll have a quick word to Cade and it would be great to have him in again but he said he’s probably not going to be available and we’ll take that into account” Ross said. ”He had a huge impact on the side and the great thing is his inclusion offers us two completely different leadership styles with [captain] Mark Higgs.
