They won't get rid of him. His surname will give him a few extra years. I thought in his draft year Kennerly who we had was a better player, and we delisted him after 2 years. I think with the age demographics at the club, Brownless will be on the list for another 2 years is my guess.

He has a massive engine, but apparently he is slow. Not sure if he reads the play exceptional or just average. I thought he was going to be an outside midfielder but if he lacks pace, then maybe a development into an inside midfielder?
He seems to have put on a bit of muscle recently. One more year is worth a shot.

None of those other guys are capable of playing on the gorilla forwards all year if blitz goes down or has to ruck. Thats not depth.
I've got it. Can't Wells just pick out the next Harry Taylor from obscurity (maybe a bit bigger version of HT given the mutant gorillas that exist in 2022) with one of our picks in the 30s? Simples. No Talia. No throwing SDK to the wolves, I mean mutant gorillas.. Everyone happy now?
 
I think we need to expose our likely 2023 team to a lot of minutes in 2022 even if we lose a few games because of it. Hit the draft and no free agents over 25. Hopefully nab a ruckman end of next.

We should play occonor as a permanent inside defensive midfielder, he is elite fitness and in the right age profile and I think he has a lot of upside. Give a lot of centre bounce time to Parfitt, Holmes and Narkle. Guthrie and Joel to support and danger to go forward to extend his career and protect his body

Bews. Blitz. Stevens

Henry. SDK Stewart.

Smith. Parfit. Holmes

Evans. Cameron Simpson

Danger. Hawkins. Close

Stanley. Duncan O’Connor

Narkle Joel Guthrie Esava

Cooper Stephens and Miers next in line

Neale - give him a look at AFL for a few games and drop Esava if needed for

Menegola, Touhey Rohan Kolo Higgins- all could get a game instead of some kids above, but really what is the point? At the very least they should halve the games with the kids
 
I genuinely ask because he is never rated in phantom anything yet a few on here keep saying to draft him early
Won't go in the top 30 I'm pretty confident to say that, is in the next group of probably 50 players fighting for about 25 spots on lists.

Callum Twomey and Chris Doerre are two who know what they are talking about that have him unranked so alot would have to change for him to suddenly be taken earlier, especially when hes hardly played footy in 2 years.
 
calder_daddy before you tell me go to bed 1 more time.
I think its worth giving Brownless another year on the rookie list.. he has show heaps this year. He was always going to take a while when he got drafted...
Good to see you sobered up.
I hope they give him 1 more season.
But that would be it, he was good in his vfl games this year and definitely improved

I wouldn't describe Brownless as slow. I only saw him once this year and was impressed - the B&F result suggests it wasn't a one off.

He always got around the ground well but looked like a kid early and had minimal impact at contests. In last season's game he did all the same the things but had impact at stoppages. He was stronger.
He cleared the ball a couple of times at least with good burst from the pack and kicked well ( long)- think Bairstow (shape and style only)
Now P.O. is a far more reliable observer than me and he tips Brownless as gone.
I would be disappointed.

If a 19 yo pick 35 played like Brownless did in that game , next year, we would reckon it was very promising.
 
There are experienced defenders who usually assist where there are potential one on ones or pack situations. Henry and Stewart lead the way there.

This would allow SDK some leeway in learning to position himself ... not from a strongest man type of situation - but to be able to sit off a little and utilise his reach/athleticism to nullify or win a contest.

That some people don't get this basic premise (that not all back men need to be Mr Universe to play KPD) boggles the mind.
Harris Andrew’s and Blicavs are perfect models for this at the moment.
 
Should we have a crack at Fischer McAsey

If you're talking about looking ahead to 2023 during the 2022 season, then you'll need to remember that a few of the bolded names will be part of the 2023 team - even if some fans will disagree

Kolodjashnij re-signed for 3 years taking him through to 2024, so unless he looks for a trade, he'll be on our list in 2023 and playing plenty of senior football

It'll be the same for Menegola who is a lot better than he's given credit for, and unless injured he'll be a lock in the seniors for the next couple of seasons

I'd like to see the 22 picked on best form, regardless of their contract status.
