Welcome Tom Brown

Always seen potential, however like all his draft class outside of Gibcus I’d like a little more attack on the ball

I had a hole in one once, I suppose at that moment in time I was the most accurate golfer on the planet?
I had a hole in one once only it wasn't. I was 3 off the tee because I had put my first shot out of bounds. It was a hell of a par however.

im here.

and it appears I was extremely wrong. Im stoked.

there seem to be a few of us.

but your point isn't well made.

you are saying every draft bust ever, the experts who do it for a living were right?

opinions on a footy forum

'if you see dusty, you give it to him, its a no brainer' :love:

bravo son
I'm saying way way way too strong too early,as we know ,it takes time.
 
The most exciting aspect of Brown's clear improvement is that his skill set is in exactly an area we needed improvement in.
We've been playing catch up with our list management since SHocking made things easier for the ball carrier to execute clean disposal.
As we have seen Brown's kicking is dynamite. He's a quarterback.
So Brown as well as Sonsie & Campbell are helping considerably with this transformation.
Miller's elite kicking skills have also helped change our style.

Was really noticeable against the Saints how much we controlled the ball at times.
Our kicking evolution has been a really clear under Yze. Hope it continues.

To take a quote out of the article:

On Sunday, Brown had his own AFL legend to assist him when his audacious inside out drop kick . . .

Drop kick, he did a drop kick? Is he the reincarnation of Bobby Skilton Jr or does the numbnut from the HUN not know what a drop kick is?

It's Jon Ralph, he doesn't know how shoelaces work.

Sure is. Already so early in the season we see Brown, Campbell and even Ben Miller starting to shine and looking part of our future. We also have others just about to blossom in VFL like McA, Green , Smith and Trezise and more so maybe our future is not a bleak as some think. Some of our established stars will be looking over their shoulders at the cubs and wondering about their own future

Also I am still expecting that we see improvement in Banks and Clarke this year.
Like with Brown there are people writing these kids off way too early. Both have the tools, they will get better.

Hopefully it’s the obligatory media article before the rising star nomination this week. I see Sam Darcy got it last week after some good pumping up by the media in previous weeks despite just average games.
Often afl articles have a hidden agenda behind them (conditioning fans for the inevitable)
