Player Watch Tyler Brown - Welcome to Adelaide

[Scorpus]

Time for a dedicated thread to discuss Tyler Brown

Tyler Brown signs with Crows

Brown joins the Club during the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period

www.afc.com.au

Joins us in the SSP having previously played at Collingwood

Highlights include (from the article): "brings experience from five years in the AFL system" and "comes from a very good football family"

 

[Smoooothy]

good luck to the kid

 

[weekend at bernies]

doesn't fill a need.

 

[Redline]

Good luck to him, not the player I would of gone for but hope he proves me wrong.

 

[1990crow]

Comes from a good family. How lovely.

 

[Vader]

Comes from a good family. How lovely.

To be fair, it's "a good football family" - which is hard to argue, given that his old man played 250+ games, and is a premiership player for Collingwood.

Comes from a good family. How lovely.

Schooling + Good bloke factor > Talent. You know that.

Doesn’t feel a need

Our midfield is crap and can’t kick

He has a bit of size, and can kick both sides of his body

Im just taking the pi55. I dont actually mind giving him a chance, hes a likely athlete.

 

[Cap]

Was there other reasons than not good enough for his delisting ?

Doesn't really stand out in the old draft profile

Tyler Brown Draft Profile

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Tyler Brown is a balanced midfielder who has great footy smarts and has plenty of development left in him."

[crows dude]

He doesnt get enough of the ball for a midfielder. Looks like another Doedee to me. Third tall down back.

 

[Scorpus]

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of faith in midfielders who couldn't find the ball consistently after 5 years in an AFL system

 

[Golumless]

Eh, worth a rookie contract. Seems a low risk/med-high reward kind of proposition in a position of need.

 

[StonesThrow]

At least he has football IQ and can kick.

What were his injuries like?

 

[Mutineer]

And a two time All Australian, Collingwood Captain and always starred in State of Origin games against us.

"Good football family". So they could all be a bunch of tosspots, but they're all good at football.

I think many here would prefer it that way...

Personally, I think the whole "good family" thing is relevant for the draft - not so much for a player who has already been in the system for 5 years.

 

[Mutineer]

Good luck to him, not the player I would of gone for but hope he proves me wrong.

Who would you have gone for?

I'd have given an 18 year old a crack personally.

Probably running back/winger Jonti Schuback who has top end speed, agility and a laser boot.

SA lads Shaun Bennier and Brodie Tuck as KPD development might have been worth a shot as would 20 year old athletic ruck/forward Toby Murray.

Obviously our recruiting team rate Tyler Brown to sign him up this early though so you would think we've been tracking him closely in the AFl/VFL?

Of course maybe there was another suitor as it seems hasty to sign him so early?

 

[thebirdman 24]

Can we play a running defender? We aren't flush with attacking options down back and if he struggles to find the ball in the middle maybe we can use him down back.

Tyler Brown is a long shot .....disappointed after 5 years, his body is still undeveloped ....what does that tell us

 

[Wazzy36]

Better than having turner on the list.

That’s the surprise. Has barely been at the club 5 minutes and we have locked him in. Must have been tracking him for a while and liked him given he doesn’t appear to be a standout need for us

Or we made another poor decision

You seem to be disagreeing with a few selections lately

 

[Magma]

That he's another project for Burgess to work his magic on?
