Love a father and son, welcome SOD, loved his old man, got the absolute most out of himself as a player, get similar vibes from Kynan. A lot of Lachie Hunter about the way he plays. Think hes a far better user than most give him credit for, not a damaging kick by any means but a smart user who knows his limitations.
At 181cm you’d expect his ideal playing weight to end up around 75-78kg.Do you think he needs to put on weight or is 71kgs fine?
I'd give him the number 25.

How's the pipes on the old man..Latest Video | Melbourne Football Club

Interview with his old man here.
Son of 146-game former Demon, Nathan, Kynan Brown is tied to Melbourne as a potential father-son selection. The midfielder enjoyed an extremely consistent season, being a key cog for both the Oakleigh Chargers and Vic Metro, winning the Metro best and fairest for his reliability around stoppages and in the contest. Although only slightly framed, Brown’s commitment to winning the ball at the coalface is remarkable, often doing the dirty work that allows other teammates to shine on the outside. He’s happy to quickly release the handball to runners, but just as capable of bursting away himself or chaining possessions through repeat running efforts.
Brown is also a strong tackler when you consider his frame, regularly latching on to opponents and bringing them to ground regardless of their size, averaging five tackles per game all season, including seven across his two VFL appearances for Casey. With the bulk of his work done on the inside, Brown’s does have a gap between his best and his worst kicking displays, possessing a penetrating left boot nonetheless. Whichever club lands him in November will be working on ways for him to bring it into the game more often. He has also spent time rotating forward this year and kicked a bag of five goals against Northern in Wildcard Round, so may find a home in attack at the next level.
Don't see him playing next year. Will need a couple of pre-seasons you'd think.Not expecting much if he can come in and play a few games like Woewodin did this year it would be a positive.
Got White coming up next year or the year after. Just in time for the rules to change too lol.Good luck to the kid, annoying that all our father sons apart from Viney fall into the probably not good enough to make it but give em a go anyway range. Woey, Farmer, Brown etc. no other club including us would look at them without the name attached
I've heard conflicting reports that he simply isn't that good.Got White coming up next year or the year after. Just in time for the rules to change too lol.
Made the AA team for his age bracket this year.I've heard conflicting reports that he simply isn't that good.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. But some people who are all across the junior staff said that he basically got in on name and that he has a lot of work to do to be a draft able prospect.Made the AA team for his age bracket this year.
That surprises me. Unless his dad was choosing the AA team I don't know how a player manages their way into an AA team if they're not even good enough to get drafted. Would have to be an extremely shallow draft for something like that to happen.Yeah, I'm aware of that. But some people who are all across the junior staff said that he basically got in on name and that he has a lot of work to do to be a draft able prospect.
Does it make you feel good mto pass on secondhand nonsense, likely made up, about 16 year old kids?Yeah, I'm aware of that. But some people who are all across the junior staff said that he basically got in on name and that he has a lot of work to do to be a draft able prospect.
Maybe, if you wanna be pessimistic you could say there's **** all competition at that height for those positionsA 16-year-old, 197cm beanpole making the AA team in a position that isn't ruck is a good sign tbh. Has so much time to fill out still and imagine his skills will only improve as he gets used to his size more – maintaining a good level of coordination would be tough when you're going through constant growth spurts like he is.
