That's counting three games as an unused sub. It's actually 14.2 for games he's got on the park. He's also a year younger than Hugo and not only a better athlete but much better inside and cleaner with the ball. He's a prospect.

VFL Gameday V Northern Bullants 2:05pm
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
I just watched the 2017 QF.
George was worst on ground and fumbled literally every touch.
That may be right but we still had space to take three at the draft.
Agree. Having seen every VFL game, RD 17 was one of Brown's best games, had 25 disposals and took a few nice marks.
So we would not have been able to relist Cumberland if we used 3 picks?
I blame TT.
But my original point still stands that having a go at our recruiters for not picking up Holmes (a highly speculative pick who while looking promising is far from a sure bet), and instead pushing back our pick a year to a draft we apparently rated higher, and were going to have more picks is nonsense.
But has gone missing since? Since the move from HBF to wing?
Any idea why he has dropped off, AT? Not sure the positional change should be that significant.
You're actually making the same point I'm making in a backhanded (and Spook with facts) way. So good post.
We are still waiting ... a long, long time, years in fact, to see if RCD and Dow are going to be the mid depth we have badly needed (we all know the reasons w injuries). Following the failed high picks of Lennon, CEllis and the loss of that _______ Higgins (but no RFC blame there).
Successful picks - maybe you call it genius, or maybe some factors in my extended post on Holmes, provided the 'inspiration'. ALL picks are speculative. Isn't it part of their role to take calculated risks?
BTW - that's 'pre-eminent.'
Wells hasnt recruited a premiership player in about 15 years!
I guess if you keep throwing at the stumps, you might get one thing correct eventually. As I think previously in exchanges with posters like you, you can only deal with the minimal detail or mono-focus. It's like ordering a pizza with great ingredients ... and someone goes, 'But I don't like shrimp."
ALL draft picks are speculative.
But forget it! It's spilled milk now. The simple point is Holmes is tracking pretty well ATM, at 19. And he's played ~26 AFL games including ~12 in his rookie year. So feel free to give us your expert, in-depth evaluation of how RCD and Dow are tracking comparatively.
Also, thus far, '21 picks Brown and Banks have not been selected to play AFL. There is no guarantee that any of these guys will have great careers. Or won't. It's all too early.
But Holmes would have been a very handy selection to throw into the middle for us last year and this year given injuries.
Hopefully, Sonsie will be similarly a great pick for us (but it's taken a while).
No longer care.
Now that's a winner. But don't push your luck ... the way they're going.
Not sure but in the games I've watched him in the backline he gets to the right positions (reads the play), but I will say he is not really a hard runner like banks.
As we know to play wing you need to be a two-way runner and I would say that brown doesn't possess that attribute atm.
You're funny- you're ego is so big I am surprised you dont refer to yourself in the 3rd person.
A few pages back you said our recruiters were lazy for trading our pick back a year and not taking Holmes. That is nonsense. but what would i know, i dont like shrimp.
On the vfl
Tigers need to beat Frankston next week
And Carlton lose their last two
Then our reserves get a final

Southport done us no favour losing to suns who were outside the 8. Blues play Casey so U think they would lose this week but play pies the following week.
