Welcome Welcome to Richmond Pick 17 - Tom Brown

[Black Saab]

We’ve lacked genuine leg speed and penetration off half back with Houli injured . Despite his ability though traffick and height he was the second fastest over 20mtrs . He is now most likely the quickest player upon our list and hopefully his evasiveness and speed = faster and cleaner entries into our forward line which we sucked at this year .

If Rioli continues down back too that's some speed in defence and Mansell isn't too slack either.

Welcome Tom.

 

[Infamy]

Conca?

If you need to go back that far.... then we don't leak

Surprised we picked up Brown. Maybe it's a result of smoking too many cones back in the day but by picking 2 defenders with our first picks Gibcus fair enough sounds great but Brown also when we're pretty solid down back. My interpretation is the club thinks Miller is a sh!t fish and only got one meagre game because they don't really rate him. Also Gibcus and Tarrant allow Balta to go up the ground. Also we didn't pick a mid because Tom Green is coming next year....... Tom Green and Tom Brown sounds good.

Brown is a mid sized defender, he's not going to be taking the spot of Tarrant, Grimes or even Broad.
Possible that we think Gibcus can play forward as well
Don't think it has anything to do with not rating Miller, just taking the best players we rated at the time our picks came up

 

[Turka]

That's bad luck for him .
I was commenting on his football career at Geelong.

I‘m sure you’d even like to take that comment back. He played 84 games at the highest level, at a high level. Later involved in one of the worst sliding door moments you could ever imagine. And it was truly horrible. I wish the Brown’s nothing but the best.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Emma Q. had that late mail right?

I think it was. But he had to get on a plane for the Gold Coast late as he wasn’t on the radar for a top 10 pick. Tells you all you to know about that pick.

I know we needed mids people but quality defenders is where the game is headed with the stand rule, we have an ageing defense bar Noah balta and lack depth badly down back. Like every pick in the draft, time will tell

Are you telling me the stand rule is here to stay? *

 

[db26]

Don't be surprised see this kid in the guts or wing.Out of our small defenders none have the creativity or setup like Houli does so kid can play that role.

 

[nineteen eighty]

He’s a very good player. We picked him for a reason.

We will bolster the midfield then get a FA or trade done next year to get the Nona fide gun.

Means one thing.
Tom Green is already @ Punt Road Oval.

I think you blokes are on the money but maybe wishful thinking that it will be Green. I think the writing is on the wall re: a trade come 12 months time. These things are done 12 months out so no doubt they've probably already been given the nod from whoever it is.

 

[lumpinee]

welcome tom,sounds like a pure winger for the future which is required,hope hes a running machine ala Langdon,Brayshaw
love to see both picks start rd 1,theyre top of the class and born to play,let em loose tiges

 

[Muddiemoose]

Looks like he has a decent kick on him
Will be interesting to see where we try to develop him

 

[tora tora tora]

Welcome Tom .Hopefully you have more ticker than your old man had at Geelong.

I heard he plays like his uncle Mal.

 

[GoTigers2015]

If Tom Brown was a target likely could have gotten him with our r2 picks as well

Wouldn't have made out of the first round with Sydney and Melbourne linked to him with picks 18 and 19.

PICK 18 — SYDNEY SWANS: TOM BROWN


Position: General defender

Size: 186cm, 77kg

Club: Murray Bushrangers/Mooroopna/Geelong Grammar/Vic Country

AFL player comparison: Bailey Dale

An exciting defensive prospect that can not only intercept but also use natural speed, agility and composure to burst away from congestion and break the game open. Brown was ranked among the top 10 NAB League players in both intercept possessions and intercept marks this year as he displayed great overhead marking confidence close to his defensive goal. The Cats will be disappointed injury restricted Brown’s father Paul to just 84 games during the 1990s, because his son would’ve been a terrific father-son selection for the club. Geelong has ample second-round picks, but Brown is set to be snapped up on the first draft night, with Melbourne and Brisbane also keen on him.

Tom Brown
POS: Defender
Ht 186cm, Wt 77kg, DOB 30/7/03
From Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country

Brown combines power, speed, footy smarts and composure to be a promising prospect across half-back. He reads the ball well in the air and is comfortable using his leap to go for marks, and he distributes the ball without too much fuss as well. The son of former Geelong player Paul and brother of Cats AFLW player Millie, Brown isn't eligible to join the Cats as a father-son pick. The Swans have had a look at Brown and could pull the trigger.

If not him? Wingman/forward Blake Howes could be a shot, as may Sam Butler. If still on the board Darcy Wilmot will be a contender for the Swans' pick.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Is he the pick we got from Geelol after we won the flag last year?

 

[GoTigers2015]

He interviews very well. Wasn't fussed where was headed and when asked which player he would like spend time with, answered Dusty.
Must have impressed the recruiters with this character. Seems really driven to learn and improve

Draft moment from a different perspective:

Game Day - 2021 AFL Live draft Thread - with a Geelong slant...Rookie selections added

Tuggers taking their time..... for sure GO CAtters

[captain blood 17]

With our midfield post Cotchin he'll get plenty of practice

Okay, so RCD, Ross, Bolton, Baker, Graham, Cumberland and Dow are no good already. Good to know.

 

[captain blood 17]

You're telling me Broad is an elite kick? Gonna sell me some snake oil while you're at it?

He's a reliable kick, which DE proves, not elite.

Brown has been described as an excellent kick. Hence my post

Yeah, you obviously don't watch many games or reckon 80% plus is any good. My apologies.

 

[captain blood 17]

maybe we picked this young man because
Murray Bushrangers talent Tom Brown is an exciting prospect who possess “mercurial-type ability” through traffic, according to Kevin Sheehan.
“This kid has got some mercurial-type ability through traffic.
“When he comes off half-back or plays half-forward, he just steps through them as if they’re not there at times.
“He’s got great speed, breaks away on many, many occasions as well.”
just saying

Nah bullshit, our board knows more. How many premiership players have the tigers drafted in the last 10 years? Blair should take more notice of our knowledge and expertise on the matter.

Now officially a pretender.

 

[Tigerbob]

Quality selection. He’s a genuinely good kid who has tremendous focus and want to improve, unreal pace and power in the way he plays, high caliber footy smarts and only behind Wanganeen Milera for kicking skills. Nice size too and I see him as a damaging defender or wingman. A modern game player, Tom will fit into our list very well.

The pick is a beauty as far as I am concerned.

I like how the profile labels him as a defender. Just means we have stronger cattle in defence especially if Stack goes forward and Balta drifts up

 

[Bojangles17]

Can see browny playing wing , dropping back as a plus 1 in defence . watch out Macca and marls

 

[Cotchy9]

Looks a Vlastuin clone in a lot of ways. As there’s just about no one I feel more safer with than Vlastuin

 

[Nebular]

Looks like we’re writing off next year so these young backmen develop and then we get our midfielders. Meh. Fungolo

Well you would know wouldn't you? Lol

 

[tigerfan1961]

This guy probably could have been snapped up at one if the picks in the 20s.

Also not sure a HBF/medium defender is a pressing need

Wrong!!! Would have gone to Swans at next pick or Cats in early 20’s. A good selection

 

[captain blood 17]

A top 20 pick gets taken in the top 20 and people melt. We have some ******* idiots in here. Seriously. Go * off and support a better run/successful club like Geelong or something.
