Player Watch Callum Brown (Delisted 2022)

[Kirby]

He just tapered off at the end of the year, but had shown quite a bit of improvement during the year.

Whilst he'll never be as good as his father (very few are/were) I think he's projecting as being a good player. I think he'll improve again this year.

Will be a gun

Will be a gun

Lots of upside in the kid I think. Got some wheels & has a wicked side step.

 

[Finnishpie]

Will be a gun

Or in the gun.

Or in the gun.

Didn’t he win best young player at the Copeland?

 

[Lime22]

I think that Tyler will probably be better than him.

I think that Tyler will probably be better than him.

Let’s hope so.

Probably. He was pretty good for most of the year. Not sure he’ll be a gun though.

A good foot soldier will be fine.

He won the award for pressure. Noble won the Best First Year Player Award. Callum won that award in 2017. I don't think there is another award for "best young player": https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/252158/grundy-goes-backtoback

Agree.

Some Shocking Decisions today.

Still done anything to tell me he will make it at AFL Level

 

[HFF]

That miss in the last when he was running into an open goal from 25m and didn’t even make the distance...

If he is going to improve as a player, he needs to start nailing these scenarios because that was a 2 goal swing with the ball going up the other end for a goal

 

[magpies42]

I think he will grow into it, I was particularly impressed end of last season when he stood up to the pressure of the game and took it on more often than not. That can’t be taught. Needs to get tidier with ball in hand, I think that will come when he becomes a bit more confident and experienced.

2 year contract extension, I like that we’re getting these done early in the year.

All three are good prospects, Cal a little ahead and it gives them time. they have two years to grow into their talent.

good work backing these guys

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Good news locking up three players of some talent but I’d imagine on the lesser sized contracts.

Murphy is still my pick of the three but have a strong feeling Callum is viewed pretty much by the inner circle as best 22.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Oh, well done Callum.

nice type, though needs to not get lost in games for those lengthy periods.

However, his attitude, work ethic, application, that’s rolled gold.

 

[manicpie]

Agree.

If you follow the pies right back to the 70's you will find that the reason we lost so many GF is because we have always had "good foot soldiers", you need class and top end talent to actually win a GF, not foot soldiers

 

[pablo disco bar]

I rate Brown.
Goes hard
Can be elusive

Still young

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I really rate Brown.
Is harder than a cat’s head
Can be elusive

Haiku’d your post.

There is always room for a few solid foot soldiers manic. Let's get specific:

2010
Blair
L Brown
Toovey
Macaffer
Dawes

1990
Gayfer
Turner
Kerrison
Manson

Those are the two I've seen first hand. You can debate the lists but there still IS a list.

 

[Finnishpie]

Haiku’d your post.

keep them coming Royal!

That’s going very early on Tyler. Third year at the club, still yet to break through for a game.

Mightve been necessitated by Reid, Varcs, Dunn drooping off this year so no real risk giving the extra season but could this end up with us carrying a player like we did Crock/Gault?
