Welcome Tom Brown

Ok np, I'll stick to the official verdict provided by the RFC and have a good laugh with you when proven wrong 😛.
I will say it again,I emailed Richmond and they asked Tom Brown are you 193cms,Tom stated,no it's wrong, it's a little off,didn't say his height.

192 then? We should have a closest to the pin competition.

From this photo before final round last year, he's at least an eye socket taller than Tresize. I measured my eye socket height at around 3cm so assuming Tresize is 188cm as per RFC website then, assuming Brown hasn't grown any more since last year, he's 191cm. That's my educated guess 😛.

You think that heavily photoshopped composite image is accurate though? 🤣🤣

He's borrowed 3 cm of imaginary height from Jack Riewoldt, who doesn't need it anymore.

Joel Selwood speaking glowingly of him on the telecast. No doubt the scat’s are into him.
Spot on, noticed Selwoods look of " you're going to look great in the blue & white hoops" . Hope we can get him signed n sealed.

I generally notice the team more than individual players. But the thing which I took from King's comment was ability to read the play - that is invaluable and not so easy to find. I hope he is correct, defenders who can read the play well were one of the big advantages we had in 17-20.

The club must think a lot of him, they gave him Bourke's No 30.

Are all the jacob van roon doesn't do f all fans still here or have they necked em selves for how dumb the crap they were talking before even seeing Brown play. Brown has the ability to get to tom Stewart levels!

Browns reputation exceeds his output at this stage by a. Long way . No doubt a Very classy player , building very well into his career still a long way to go .

However I no longer believe that van rooyan was a better pick

Tom's style and ambitious play reminds me of a 2017 Broady and we all know where that took Broad so I have hopes that Tom is going to eventually take Nathan's place when he hangs his boots up

Was just fiddling around n looking back at some draft data from 2021. Tom Brown listed as being 186 cm tall, one would think in such an important career year the numbers would be relatively accurate. Reckon if he's managed to grow another 2 whole cm since his draft that might be about the maximum one could usually expect, which would max him at 188 cm. Reckon there might be some fudging in all those 190 to 193 cm calls.
