So clean and composed. Just have to keep playing him, he could end up pretty special.

Hope the coaches are giving him license to go for his kicks. Don't want that coached out of his game.

Geez I love Brown, such a humble down-to-earth kid who is an elite user of the footy. Forget kick-in duties to Shorty and Vlastuin, why are we not putting the ball in Brown's hands more. Wasted opportunity.
I said this a couple weeks back. I don't get it, he kicks lasers.

He's going to be an absolute weapon in a few years and will be even better with good players around him.

Won't be long until he gets a rising star nom.
I'd expect Windsor to get it this week but he shouldn't be far off.

Yeah Windsor deserves it. Give Brown a few cheap kick-in stats and he'll get a nom straight away.

Playing for us? Let's say I'm not optimistic.

I'd trial him up forward for a few games. He's got a leap, can mark and a good kick. Couldn't hurt. Trezise can take his spot in backline. Worst case scenario he's no good. Best case scenario we might find a decent avenue to goal.

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
and hes 200cms now
Why? He's developing fine down back.
Spot on, just let the guy develop in his role, don't start throwing curve balls at him 10 games into his career while he is trying to get established.
Spot on, it's enough that the guy has to cope with a plethora of high roosted balls coming in at a regular rate!

I could see him moving into the midfield in 2-3 years ala Hayden Young.
The only knock on him really is his intensity around the ball which I believe was the knock on him at VFL level? Without tracking him closely, he got at better at that didn't he before coming to the seniors? Hopefully he will follow a similar path at AFL level.
Otherwise he's gaining confidence each week with ball in hand and I actually feel calm when he's mopping up. That cheeky banana that hit Bolton in the D50 was taking the piss.

Still building his tank and once his stamina improves any intensity around the ball issues should improve with it.
He's a ripper. I already feel at peace when he has the ball in his hands. Haven't felt that way in our back half since Rance circa 2018.
