Player Watch #30 Tom Brown

[dorianyates]

Will be the Vlaustin replacement. Starting to look pretty good

 

[Bojangles17]

Takes a nice mark and a laser right foot , get some games under the belt and look out

 

[Truetiger]

Im totally on board the Tom Brown train. All class today.

18pos, 10 of which contested.

 

[RoaringTiger]

Must play every game. Along with Campbell, sonzie, mrj, banks, and all the other young dudes

Mott The Hoople too?

 

[RoaringTiger]

Van Who?

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Kid will be a star

 

[59Stanley]

His standing elevation to outmark membrey was great

 

[prodigy]

If I see "Tom Brown (omitted)" at all this season it will probably be the stupidest thing we do as a club for decades.

Grimes needs to have a moment of self reflection and tell the coaches he should only be coming back in due to injury and nothing else.

 

[THE_GUN]

Love the kicking skills from Tom

Once he increases his running capacity he will be amazing

Great Game

Grimes career is done, you can't play both Brown & Grimes in the same team.

Dont think they play the same role at all
Grimes is a stopper who does his best work doing a job to shut down a player and closer to goal and Brown is a rebounder who plays closer to half back

Ok so who do you drop if Grimes comes back? won't be Young or Miller imo

None of the current guys in the backline
Maybe Kmac who tends to push back a fair bit anyway and just rotate others across the wing have Broad move up the ground to cover or even Brown to make the most of that peg

Just depends on the match ups and the team we are up against

He not best 22 anymore as much as we love him there is no room for him unfortunately that doesn't mean Yze won't play him though. Kmac is hardly best 22 either but we can't play too many kids we already are.

I thought Pickett was pretty average today. I wouldn't mind seeing as sub next week and Kane McAuliffe coming into the 22, push Ross to the other wing.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Think everyone was aware we had an elite user by foot, but I’ve been surprised how quickly he’s adapted to the speed of the game. Decision making under pressure has been A1. He’s looked composed and unruffled.
I didn’t think we’d see this so soon, was expecting 20-30 games before he was at this level

 

[DeseRigs]

Brown is absolute silk. And a lot better defensively than I initially thought. I’d have him taking kick-ins already.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

His standing elevation to outmark membrey was great

So it should be. Finished high might have even won the vertical leap testing at the combine. A part of his game which I hope develops this season.

How about the 1 on 1 contested mark he owned Jack Steele

And some of those clean pick ups below his knees in a pack type situation.

They are the doubts people had on him but he’s improving those weaknesses out of sight…

His kicking, decision making and composure is just so elite and has leadership written all over him

 

[THE_GUN]

Im not dropping Miller , Young , Brown , Vlastuin or Broad for Grimes
specially on a trip to Perth

Grimes can have half a game in the VFL to gain touch

 

[blaisee]

Grimes should replace Broad, Broad more finished than Grimes

No way not for me Broad well ahead of Grimes.

 

[sante]

Broad was awful again today, half ass attempts to spoil, turnovers everytime he kicks it

 

[tiger_tough]

Yeah he looks finished. Has dropped right off.
