Cats coach Chris Scott said Brown had done everything asked of him over the sixth pre-season of a career that has only produced 10 AFL matches.
“To be frank,
even if Vardy were fit, we would have Mitch Brown in our best 22 right at the moment,” Scott said.
“That’s not a guarantee for Mitch for Round 1, but things are looking good."
Exactly what I would want a coach to say. Your place isn't set in stone, but while you continue to play as you are, you're in. Good recognition for obviously a good pre-season on the track, and now some good form on the field.
I'd say with McIntosh they may want more games under his belt. Reasonable strategy you'd think. Most encouraging thing was he hasn't forgotten how to play the game.
