Player Watch #30 Tom Brown

[RedmanWasHere]

looks shite in fluro

time to bring back the traditional yellow

2003 yellow?

Yep.

I'd be for that.


Not 2015 yellow.

Hopefully Brown gets to wear the former.

That's the shade.

The modern vibrancy really shows up in headshots.

Great game and good to see we've got an accurate field kick!

 

[Madtiger2006]

Looks like he’s played 100 games

88% good effort. Should never see the seconds again.

 

[mctiger33]

Great debut…should be a lock in best 22 next year

 

[fargothegreat]

If this bloke has a strong preseason, does that mean we may be able to push Rioli forward again, or is he too damaging off half back?

Think we will see Rioli played as a general outside mid/wing similar to the role short played this year

Banks was up there in the running stats, not Brown.

Banks played on the wing. Brown played off half back. Hence, the question about pushing Rioli forward.

Banks for me replaces Kmac. Much better user of the ball.

Very happy with his debut today. We are desperate for good kicks in the side, so I’m glad we have one that shows this.

He’s like that in the VFL too, so it’s more of an attribute of his than an outlier.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Both boys looked good today and comfortable at the level

Balta , Young , Gibcus , Trezise , Brown , Vlastuin , Rioli
our defence is fine

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Fantastic debut game today. Some of those little tap-ons to advantage out of a contest were sublime. The kid really knows his way around a footy ground, has excellent balance and great execution skills.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

The club would rather play a 32 year old Pickett and watch him touch it 6 times than give a young bloke a go

No one in that forward line touches it. That’s largely by design(don’t ask me why, I can’t be ****ed trying to defend our system) as our forwards are set to defend first.

I think it’s pretty good. Broad and Vlaustuin need to be given the leadership roles for backline next season.

Still think we got a really poor return on talent this year. Partly bad luck(Lynch, Gibcus, Tarrant) largely poor management(Not addressing our lack of tall forwards).

Someone gif that blind turn he did to brake riolis ankles today !

 

[Bojangles17]

Looks a bloody good player and will be a good size too , would have been nice to have get a doz games under belt of brown banks and nipper , alas I expect to see lots of them next year , just need some f50 talent to be added

 

[Charlie Pannam]

He’ll be the Rolls-Royce of our back half, the go to man.
He’s one of those players that has no trouble with the step up to the next level. Today’s performance very similar to his VFL output

 

[Tiger1974]

But we don’t need half back flankers.

Looks like Broad took the role Balta was playing most of the year and played very well with the extra responsibilities (9 intercepts for the game and 3 contested marks)

Lost a couple of contests but no defender wins them all

A life with Balta in the forward line looks like it could work quite well

I think Balta has been really promising in f50 , pity he didn’t finish off his work , still he limited the impact of allir , he would have killed jack

And with Lynch back in the team getting all the attention I think Balta can get match ups on smaller defenders that he can dominate physically.

Hoping Gibcus can ease into the back 6 and form a long term partnership with Young , Brown and Tresize

This game highlights its not all doom and gloom for me. Slot Lynch into the side and get 12 games into these kids and this one goes to the wire. We really do need to try and trade out some past champs to get some draft picks. We are probably 2 elite KPPs and 2 elite young mids for our next core. I think two years near the bottom and then loading up in free agents will do it while keeping draft picks.
