Welcome Tom Brown

He's not far off having a breakout performance.
There are a lot of things he's doing that are almosts & every game will be a learning tool.
Pretty excited to think where he'll be this time next season.

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

And I forgot, in a game where 90% of the time we were doing short handballs running ourselves into trouble was it not Brown who picked up the ball cleanly off half back under pressure and immediately executed a seemingly blind 30 metre lateral centering handball that hit Baker or Rioli, (one of the defenders anyway without them breaking stride). That was either incredibly lucky or the guy has a sixth sense o_O

Did he spend much time on Fritsch?
He was definitely matched up with him on occasions, but not sure how much.

Yeah was interesting he rotated between Fritsch, Van Rooyen and I think Turner from what I saw. Easier to pick when the Dee's were kicking to the City end as I'm in the Ponsford stand.
 
He’s gonna be a good player. Besides showing that class and poise, he’s slowing learning to play with more physicality and intent too. See big ups here if he stays injury free. Why did I say that…..whyyyyyy ?????

Between him and gibcus if they can stay fit we've got two players to build our defence around for the next 10years
