Player Watch #30 Tom Brown

[copthat]

In the contest hes very good and hard at it but i agree there is not much follow up - but he aint robinson crusoe in that regard this season! Im giving him the benefit of the doubt that its a fitness thing rather than mindset

I'd say that's one of his biggest weaknesses at the moment.

I see a good player who hopefully plays 150+ games as a reliable soldier every week.

No shame in not being a star, very few reach these dizzy heights and still have good careers.

My comment was based on the many posts in here labelling him a potential star based on a handful of great kicks.

Yep, great kicking alone isn’t enough, but he’s shown great ability outside just his kicking.

Let’s put it this way … with his skillset, if he develops the mental attitude of Selwood or Pendlebury he will be a star. But not many do, so who knows.

If Brown develops an AFL tank he should be a star defender, simple as that.

Career over. Syndesmosis and Louie Meehan.

I'd trial him up forward for a few games. He's got a leap, can mark and a good kick. Couldn't hurt. Trezise can take his spot in backline. Worst case scenario he's no good. Best case scenario we might find a decent avenue to goal.

Again our health and fitness department has some big question marks but you cannot blame them for a syndesmosis injury

We can when he is out for 12 months

Do people wanna see him train over pre season as a forward or defender?

I'd have him training as pure ruck. Zero confidence in Ryan which leaves us Colina? If Nank goes down.

How tall is he this year

Lefau's 1st 1/2 of year is written off and will need a month eased into it via the VFL. Bauer is injury prone too. Most I see Lynch playing is 15 games, he really needs to be rested every 5 day game, most interstate games and whenever he has a niggle, better to be conservative and could stretch him out potentially 3 more years. Another year like his previous 2 and he'll chuck it in for sure.

Down back we've got Vlastuin, Broad, Trezise who can all play that same type role. Witg Miller, Gibcus, Balta, Blight the backline is pretty well covered. Also got Banks and Kaleb Smith.

I'd even remove Short from the backline as we need blokes who can kick goals. Brown kicking 3 goals that game showed he can score so he should be trialled down there. With the massive turnover of players and hopefully a reduced injury list Yze really needs to throw around the magnets because even when we were somewhat at full strength the line-up sucked and couldn't score.
