Player Watch #30 Tom Brown

[Forensi Tiger]

The issue is he can't run. He's quick but he can't run 15km a game like Hugo.

Seems to lack intensity and desperation. Maybe doesn’t like contested ball also.

 

[Danog]

I agree he has the attributes for the wing more than the backline.
Same with Banks.

Banks is fine in the backline. Short just snipes all of his handball receives.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Never going to come good...has casual written all over him...
Selfish player plays when he feels like it...

 

[GoTigers2015]

Nowhere near the footy so far against Port. He has had plenty of games to get experience but hasn't shown anything so far.
Looks a bust.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Must wake up every morning and thank someone that we have so many injuries. Would be nowhere near the 23 otherwise.

Sneaky delisting chance this year.

 

[richoplzbreed]

I'll drive him down the Princes Highway myself. Fmd this bloke looks so disinterested it's not funny. So lazy and laconic. Zero mongrel or pride on display. It's a myth that this bloke can run and has quality disposal...... proofs in the pudding.

 

[beema limapep]

Not best 23 apparently

Correct.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Disappointing year. What happened to him

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Surely he is tanking for a trade to Geesook

 

[Reservoir tiger]

I’ve been a massive supporter of this bloke… but cannot be rewarded with a game next week after that.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Bumped into Tom Brown at the local park. What a ripping young man. Very polite and generous with his time.

He’s the kind of lad that you want to see make it.

Clearly too nice and polite

Bit of white line fever would do him the world of good

 

[The Mighty]

Trade him out hes lazy and soft got no chit in him and no grit.

 

[prodigy]

Been underwhelming to say the least. Would be lucky to get a reprieve next week but considering Hopper gets a spot every week, who knows.

will end up at Geelong and be a pretty good player his heart just isn't in it at Tigerland

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Brown is playing below his known best, which you don't expect from a player just entering his prime. Unsure if something is amiss, or he just hasn't prepared well enough for this season. Let's hope he figures it out well before his contract expires next season.

We know he has great ball handling and disposal skills, and can sprint.

What he needs to get right is the minimum AFL standard for endurance and body contact appetite, at the very least.

He’s playing shit so when time comes we give him away for peanuts to the campaigners at shit litter park , then watch lift his game again

 

[tiger_tough]

Move him forward. Do something.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

no selection pressure is the only explanation

 

[The Mighty]

Move him forward. Do something.

Trade him down to Geelong where he probably wants to be.

 

[Googstar]

Stuff him. Threaten to trade him to the Weagles and see if that makes him pull his digit out.

 

[Tiger Pete]

Reluctant to criticize individual players in our current situation.
Also not critical of drafting him in 2021 even though I think he was taken ahead of Wangadeen M .
Tall , good runner and raking kick . Made very promising start to career.
Like so many other younger players on our list atm there is no bloody game plan. We are on the back foot the whole time and players hesitant , not knowing where to run and deliver the ball.

He could walk it though. He seems excellent at that

 

[tigs2010]

Move him to the VFL. Do something.

EFA

He wasn’t taken ahead of Wang-Milera
He's not tall
He's not a good runner

Apart from that, spot on.

 

[beema limapep]

VFL time.

If you want to trade him, do so when his form has picked up and we can get something decent for him. Who knows, maybe even a half decent ruck like Nick Madden.
