Kynan Brown put in a mammoth performance yesterday in their wildcard round against Northern Knights.

25 disposals, 5 tackles, 4 marks and kicked 5.2 for the day.

We have a beauty on our hands I reckon.

IMO this kid has been grossly underrated, both here and in general draft discussion.  I was nervously hoping it would remain that way.

Slow down KB!

That's an impressive stat line at any level. Playing in the best underage comp in the country and this kids improvement is amazing over this season.

The Guns  have taken a big leap as well

A very impressive effort!

His Father Nathan D. Brown would be incredibly proud!

Well done Kynan Brown!

Let's hope the Demons pick him up in this year's AFL National Draft as a Father-Son selection!

Incredible.

Who do we think he can replace long term in our side?

How's his general field kicking? If he nails enough targets then on top of the other upside that's good enough for me.

I thought he was too small but I guess there's plenty of successful small midfielders around - he's already taller than Lachie Neale and Brent Harvey.

.....and Jack Viney 😉

 

is one of the reasons he's not being 'talked up' - despite this sort of performance and being declared vic metro mvp at the national championships - because he was an 'overager' in the underage competition this year?

Actually, he’s not overage at all although he was born in January so he’s older than many in that age group.

Date of birth: 13/1/2005.

that's weird, the sun was saying he was

but, then sun being wrong? colour me shocked

Late developer which is preferred by many recruiters.

Gets some good mentions on Rookie me scouting notes. Easy to google.

One game noted " eye catching acceleration after sharking hitouts" 

On another note from a different game a couple of weeks ago " Brown has a turn of speed, shared the ball and has had phenomenal numbers in the last handfull of games".

I was searching for opinions on his 'speed'. Seems to be ok. 

In his last hitout against Eastern he performed just as well if not better than the 'wizard' Watson.

Kynan has really stepped up in the U18's after his stint with Casey.

Scouting notes say he is a hard worker.

Twomey still thinks he will be a rookie or late pick.

We may well be on to something here. Time will tell.

I think he can learn from and replace Viney. Similiar left foot kick and he's as hard as anyone. Just needs the body to match, but this can come with Viney showing him how to lift.

I like your thinking.  Will he ever be able to bench press 150kg like Jack?

I like this. I think he’ll have the work ethic to do it as well. I’ve watched maybe 15(?) of his games over the last couple of years and he just gets better. His running is better, his kicking is better, his extraction is better. I’m keen to see him work with Max Viney on evading tackles. I’m not expecting him to play year 1 or 2 and be a regular contributor. But you can see that he is an afl player and is going to put pressure on selection.

Agree he is getting better as time goes by. Recruiters like those sorts of young players. If we are to extend our 'window' we need quality players coming through even if it takes 2 or 3 years for them to become regulars.

We need to nail this draft. Kalini White coming in a few drafts time.

Late draft pick or rookie pick. 
 

We had to keep him under wraps but he got excited towards the end of the year. 
 

Kynan will be on our list next year. Lots of physical development and skills work. But he’s got the heart of a lion. 

Who's next in line for F/S consideration?

Yze jnr? White jnr?

Some reports on their likelyhood would be much appreciated

White in 2 years, he's in the U16s now. Will be a hybrid ruck/forward. Young Yze would be lucky to be rookied.

Has the club made any contract with brown or his family, or has any party said yes to this, has brown committed him self to us, getting nervous since we will be apparently only be taking two picks this draft

Does anyone know what's happening with Kynan. I gather up till now he hasn't nominated the Dees and the Dees haven't done whatever they have to do if he does. Does anyone know the cutoff date for father/son nominations. 

Does anyone also know whether if he nominates us and we accept that nomination or whatever the process is do we have to take him in the draft or can we leave it to the Rookie draft and if we do that can we still access him as a father son or just take the gamble he'll still be there at our pick.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
