Yeah, probably the most disappointing part of yesterday for me, looking at Brown, is that he didnt take any kick ins, not was he ever the person who received the easy short pass from the kick in. We should be looking to get him more involved with easy kicks.

Welcome Tom Brown
- Thread starter fastin bulbous

Plus with a licence to be more creative - go central more often instead of wide to the flanks.
Smashed in the midfield was our problem. Defence was under the pump from 2nd quarter on. Hard for anyone in the backline to look even remotely good under that much pressure
Yes. If you are ever going to trial something like this then do it now when results do not matter
We all know that it's early days for Brown.
His last couple of games he was rightly lauded but he pretty much invisible on the weekend with just 7 possessions.
His game was disappointing no doubt. Should keep his spot for a few weeks yet regardless & hopefully bounces back against the Dees.
Really liked his game today. Attacked the footy and aggressive with his attack of half back.
agree, except the rainmaker kicks. We know his long low kicks are a strength, that's what we want to see.
Thought he could have been more involved. At times he was too quick to give a hack kick forward.
And he doesn't have the manic drive to get involved.
I'D want to see him take kick outs, take an attacking position and look to want the ball

Like to see him use his leg speed to push forward and take ground before kicking.
Hopefully that will come.
Hopefully that will come.
Spook it was even better than that it happened right in front of me, Brown was 3 on 1 it could have even been 4 on 1 a normal defender would have spoilt straight down into the waiting Dee's hands whereas as Brown lept and did a reverse palm which would have found Rioli if not for drawing a free, it was special.
Another was his centering bullet pass to Nank who stuffed it up with that handball.
He did another sublimely weighted kick between a maze of defenders only for Lefau to go one handed instead of snaffling it.
Oh and that would be screamer
That kick to Lefau around 45 out dead in front was a beauty, not sure if Lefau misread it but he made it look a bit more of a poor kick, but it was an excellent kick to a very dangerous part of the ground.
I remember that 4 on 1 too, just showed how smart he is as a footballer.
I'm really excited watching him blossom. Only 6 games in.
Most of the cubs were in the same boat but given time they should be able to play that level for a whole game. They are just young inexperienced kids right now
I loved the peripheral vision he showed late in the 2nd when he tapped the ball on to Vlastuin and drew free to high contact. Intelligent play which is something that's hard to teach. I'm really excited about this fella.
