I think Brown has shown he has real footy smarts and ability and will offer us a lot over years.Which is why it is worth giving new players who may not be quite ready a taste during a season, so they know what they need to do to get to AFL level. Blighty was good at this & also sometimes you uncover a gem who steps up straight away.
Along with Crouch who although agree will be great is yet to get me excited like Patty did in first 2 years as even with Bloods gets possession but apart from that final doesnt take game on like Wines, OMeara etc and other high drafts do .
But as Patty took awhile will have to see how developed.
Lyons is another with a lot of skills and class and hopefully gets chance soon .
Shaw is another but whether we will ever get to see regularly is now doubtful .
