Peoples knock on Brown was whether he could play the hardball. 7 contested possessions out of 13, match high 8 intercepts shows what he can do. Once we can start to generate a bit more overlap run for him, with him on the handball receive, then we can see a bit more of how he can impact out game offensively through his kicking.

Stays in for me. Happy with what he provided today.

Van Rooyen?

He’s from WA.

Last night he was as ineffective as Lefau was against Port, not easy against Ratugolea and Alir.

There was a moment early in Q4. Tom had the ball at CHB, easy options left, easy options right. You know, team mates sagging off into non-threatening space.

But Tom said “nah, I’m Tom faarking Brown and I’m gonna drill this corridor pass so hard they’ll need a gastroscopy to find it.”

He hit the pass. And I believed.

He has a sweet, sweet boot.

A couple of laser like passes into crowded traffic hit their mark.

So much improvement left in him.

Has some personality too! He is a player and glad he played so well against the swans who we beat to draft him!

He actually took a good pack mark too, that wasn't paid due to interference

That was a dart. In traffic. At a pressure points. Coconuts.

It's not just the use, although it was elite. It was the key contest wins as well. In front of the interchange, when he was out of position and picked the Swan's pocket, turning a likely Swans scoring chance into a counter attack for us. The one just inside D50 when won a hot ball and in a flash released a teammate by hand. This kid can football.
