Apparently he got the most possessions for Metro in the win? 27 touches, 8 clearances and 5 tackles... Can't have been too bad a game from Browny.
 
Didn't mind what I saw from Call, nuggety type with neat skills and fit as a fiddle.

The lack of size and no obvious outstanding attributes means he won't cost us the world.
Doesn't mean he won't find his niche in the side, just look at Caleb Daniel..

The irony of this post is that a 180cm version of Daniel goes first round yet the knock on Callum will be his size anyway.

Funny, isn't it? Especially considering there's every chance Callum will be pushing 180cm by the end of the year anyway. Pretty sure he was 172cm at this time last year.

To my knowledge yep.

Personally I'm not heightist so he could shrink and it wouldn't bother me I just don't want that to be the focus it already seems to be. The kid just had 8 clearances in a championship game which is elite yet we've had 10 plus posts on his size. Figure that one out!

Where are the comments on how well he read the ball off hands? His breakaway speed? Did he win it himself or rely on others feeding it to him? He supposedly used the ball neatly so did he choose Tom Langdon options or Scott Pendlebury options? When he won the clearances were they hack kicks forward or Sam Mitchellesque exit traffic clearances?

I have read his Kicking was not all that Great
 
Can anyone tell me if we can select both boys as father son picks in this year's draft? Herald sun has a story (which I can't access) on Pies delima on which one of the boys are they going to select?
 
We can definitely select both. Just need to accumulate the points required. Don't think the boys will be bid on too early so not too many headaches. We might have to gather some extra picks through trades but nothing too expensive.

Brent Harvey 172cm, 421 games.

If you're good enough you'll make it despite a lack of inches or even speed (Greg Williams, Sam Mitchell).

Here's hoping with young Browny.

The Collingwood conundrum: Sons of Gavin Brown and Peter Daicos pose father-son list headache

Josh Daicos, son of Collingwood legend Peter, has huge potential to follow in his father’s footsteps.



COLLINGWOOD is facing a father-son list conundrum as the sons of Gavin Brown and Peter Daicos roar into draft contention.

The Pies do not have a first-round pick after the Adam Treloar trade but must decide whether to take Callum Brown and Josh Daicos.

Vic Country midfielder Brown was scintillating against Vic Metro last weekend with 27 possessions, as some experts begin to believe he could be worth of a first-round pick.

Josh Daicos has come from the clouds as a goalkicking midfielder/forward and will play in the Under-18 championships against South Australia on Sunday after injury.

He only turns 18 in November but given his special skill set and famous name will be in demand across the league.

The 178cm junior did not play TAC Cup last year so was an unknown quantity but is surging up draft charts given his exposed form for the Oakleigh Chargers.

The Pies will face intense pressure to draft the sons of their Collingwood guns, as the last of the six Shaw/Cloke father-sons in Travis Cloke looks likely to leave at year’s end.

Collingwood’s first-round pick is currently no. 5, but was one of two first-round selections handed to GWS to acquire Treloar, who is putting together a terrific debut season as a Magpie.

Vic Metro coach Anton Grabac said the Pies would likely have some serious decisions to make come November

“Callum was terrific after a slow start on Monday and we hope to play Josh against South Australia,’’ he said

“Josh has got class and a nice lateral first step but the real highlight is his beautiful kicking skills.

“He hasn’t played in this environment yet so he will be similar to Jack Silvagni last year — there will be patches where the game is too quick.

“It will be all about the bidding system for Collingwood, whether to take both or one of them. I call it the Collingwood conundrum.”

If Collingwood did not have an early pick when a rival bids for either player it could match those points by handing over multiple later selections.

“Callum was running around at Marcellin last year but was really small and then he did some special things and has grown up sideways and a little vertically,’’ Grabac said.

“He has always been great with his hands and with his vision and composure and now he can win his own footy and doesn’t get brushed aside.

“Josh entered the TAC Cup this year after playing at Camberwell Grammar and early in the year he showed he had some seriously special qualities.

“The boy hasn’t had a taste yet so now this gives all clubs a look at him.”

Collingwood has already shown it will not allow emotion to get in the way of father-son decisions, passing on Craig Stewart’s son James (now at GWS).

Sydney also refused to match the Western Bulldogs bid on Josh Dunkley, son of Swans defender Andrew, in last year’s national draft.
 
Only Jon Ralph could write such a factually and conceptually inaccurate story

He still Pissed about Treloar choosing us over his Tigers.

He is part of the Richmond Media Mafia
