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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
