Welcome Tom Brown

[Brodders17]

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.

He can football indeed. He has got size too. And a bit of levitating ability- I'll have to find that thread at some stage to add him to the list. And winner's attitude.

Is there anything he can't do?

I'm loving seeing his kicking skills. Can't wait to see once he's settled in and getting higher disposal counts. Everything points to him being a very very good footballer for us.

 

[Carter]

Do I detect some in utero swagger also?

Just a touch of *smile* about him?

 

[TigerForce]

Hopefully Gibbo out was a blessing in disguise to give Brown a regular spot to build.

 

[Tigga94]

Can he become a midfielder?

 

[Harry]

Needs to get more ball by running to get the handball receive. We need the ball in his hands.

Tracking beautifully. Just an elite user simple as that.

Bowl a flipper.

Did he play mostly on Hayward? Did Hayward have any impact?

Elite ball Uber but this is nothing new.

But now he is also defending and winning contests.

 

[Leysy Days]

How good must it be to learn defensive values off the great Nick Vlastuin.

And he's learning them. Fast. Starting to belong.

Yesterday was my first real chance to see him. Beautiful kick and a good size. He has clearly grown in height a bit since coming to us. Looked a bit slow when running but my eldest was convinced it wasn’t lack of speed but that he was gassed and will need to work on his tank. Some pretty good signs yesterday.

He ain't slow, 20 metre sprint is 2.983 seconds

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.

close, it was late in the 3rd, with about 4 min's left

Pretty to watch

He did one from hb to Short near the wing in q3. Hit Tigga on the tit in the centre circle in q4

Uber is making elite balls ? Certainly sounds new to me.

 

[St Kevin]

Great skills. Get him to 50 games ASAP.

They are like Wilson and Spalding, only more Uber... er...

 

[Ridley]

Nice game from Tom; used the ball really well. Looks to be a beautiful kick; nice to see for a change.

Not sure what the tank is like; saw him jogging on a couple of occasions when the Swans got us on transition. That will come with a couple of more pre seasons.

Not sure. He was on Papley at once stage late. I think the backs just rotated.

I think the doors should be locked on the Brown Express. We don't want it over crowded with those jumping over board from the Van Rooten ferry.
