But you need to address why you got it wrong. Do the recruiters go back and look at why they took Lennon over Cripps and why it was such a bad decision. If they don't, then they should.

Welcome Tom Brown

Do you really think Sinner is suggesting our recruiters shouldn't assess our draft picks? I dont think ST is even saying us posters shouldn't do that, but that there is no point going on and on about it here on a fan forum, and especially on the thread of one of our players.
Probably and hopefully they are but posting the same thing over and over on a fan site won’t make it happen, especially when it essentially acts as a criticism or belittling of the tiger player who happened to be drafted.
On the Tom Brown thread i would hope we would post about Tom Brown not some player from another club.
Exactly.
No one should think from my posting that I think we got all our draft picks right, we clearly didn’t.
I am just a bit more sanguine about it and I don’t like early calls on players.
All tiger players are champions to me, until they aren’t !!
I wonder when was the last time we had these 5 draftees from 2021 all playing at the same time?
We now have 4 of them available but as I recall we started this season with only Banks and Clarke on the park?
Hopefully all 5 can get a run at it when Gibcus gets back because they have a big opportunity to put their hands up given where our season is at

Worked for us.Missing on Cripps and we still got 3 flags.
Van Roo is the new Cripps(Although it wouldn't look good for young Brown should history repeat).
Can we please give this kid a *smile* chance? He hasn't even played a game and we're talking like he's failed. He's been injured, not sent to Upper Warnambool 4ths for practice.
Jesus christ, if this is what Tigers supporters and members do, wonder what critics are.
He might yet turn out an all Australian. Be patient.

That’s actually a really good question, I don’t reckon we’ve had all 5 play at AFL/VFL combined more than 6 times.
First game for the year, didn't really notice him much but not surprising. Just hope he gets through the rest of the year playing footy n learning and gets a full crack at things for next year.
Yes, we need to give him a chance, injuries etc have held him back.
But, you can understand the frustration when we picked him ahead of a tall forward when we so clearly need tall forwards as ours are getting old and close to retirement.
We don't need repeated criticism of the decision, or if we do, we don't need it in this thread.
How did Brown go today? I presume he would have been pretty rusty but any glimpses of what he can do?
Hope Brown does well, through no fault of his own he will be a bit of a whipping boy because of who the recruiting staff did not pick, but let's see how Brown goes and judge him on his performances not against who we could have picked, that can go in the recruiting threads.

The issue I have is, this kid may prove to be better than JVR. But people are saying it's a dud pick. Yes, I realise like everyone else here that we've got 2 forwards on the down side of their career. We're dying for young blood up forward. But to say this guy is a wasted pick is a disgrace at this point.
Whilst we haven't got a key forward, we may yet have a superstar in the making. If I were his parents and read this, I'd be getting him out of Tigerland and saying what crap supporters we have.
Judge the kid on his performance please folks.
Can’t judge this kid for a few more games , will need time to regain the pace of things & some fitness & confidence
In his first game since august 2022. Give the kid a break.Yes5 disposals to 3qtr time
