Welcome Tom Brown
- Thread starter fastin bulbous
- Start date
I've noticed a significant improvement in his body work. Has outmarked a number of opponents the last few weeks through good use of the body. He has a nice twinkle toe side step too, to go with his beautiful foot skills. This year's big improver.
Not me, Ive been calling his name, he must play a full season if fit. elite skills. He is the future, play him or lose him to Geelong.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
There were plenty of reasons to be concerned with recruiting him.
- Another backman, when many thought we needed a forward, not realising we had Lefau and Kozi in the bag.
- Injuries in his first season giving him very little exposed form.
- When he did play VFL he seemed very laconic and lacking a physical presence. Not a big ballwinner.
- Geelong parentage. Yuck.
Interesting that people with strong opinions don't like when others give them a strong challenge.
I got told to "get off my cross" and "stop whinging" amongst many other pleasantries (not saying by yourself DA) for saying folks we're going too soon and too hard on Tom. Think there was other comments about me googling Brown and excuses when I posted.
About 6 weeks ago I argued against someone (can't be bothered looking for who), who claimed he was a bust and got more than enough grief for challenging it...It gets pretty ordinary on here sometimes, just for supporting our own.
Doors gotta swing both ways I say. Have a strong opinion, but folks don't need to get precious when challenged.
Yep. The whole idea of having a forum is so that people can have an opinion and put their thoughts and opinions up for a discussion, regardless of whether those opinions are right, wrong or bloody indifferent. Sadly there's a lot of expert shouting done on people at times.
My point is you should be able to have an opinion without being mocked for it in the aftermath.
I’m not precious, I just think it’s pathetic. And usually comes from posters who contribute nothing in the first place. They sit on the wire ready to swoop hence my meme.
It’s the cheap shots I can’t stand, not the differing of opinions. Can you see the difference?
I get it mate.
I don't like people "rubbing others noses" in it especially if they've not said anything in the debate anywhere - they're just piling on.
Hence why I've said stuff like I'm pleased with the improvement, but want consistency, im not saying we have a star yet. Couple of good games doesn't make a career and all that. I'm also not going to gloat over others, because there's enough history on PRE that somewhere I'll have made a mistake too.
Equally though, can you see how others get nasty when challenged? It's just inappropriate and at times, makes me wonder why I come to support our players here. People take it waay too personally.
At least had a player in genuine contention. Hopefully Brown’s time will come very soon.
Been a doubter on his selection, but really coming of age.
All supporters knew how good his shoe is, but his one on one work in particular has really come on.
As he gets more confidence he can really keep the upward spiral going.

Yes Taranto saying he’s winning his 1 on 1s post match shows his team mates are equally as happy about this improvement in his game.
