I am hoping he and Dees nominate him as a father-son selection. He definitely is a goer with a huge engine.  
I think if any other club picks him in the draft, then we can match it but we have to allocate points.  If he’s not picked in the draft, then Dees can just add automatically as a rookie without waiting until the formal rookie draft.

If he doesn’t make it, it won’t be for lack of trying nor will it have anything to do with supporter sentiment. He’s a goer and would be an extremely popular father-son pick. 
 

I hope he makes it. His old man used to do my head in a bit as a player but is one of the nicest blokes you’ll ever meet.

Hopefully we pick him up as a father son either late or rookie. Though he's slight, he's a real goer and was actually one of Vic Metros best players! With a bit of work to build his body strength up he could definitely forge an afl career. Fingers crossed he makes it in red and blue.

I agree. I think he's being far underrated. He plays a lot like Doggy Snr.

I don't think we will match a bid we only have 2 picks 6 and 11. It will be a rookie selection or not picked up at all.

Kynan Brown’s debut as the work experience kid at Casey this season gone was nearing auspiciousness. After kicking one goal, fluffed his lines on a second certainty, kicking to the left side of the goal post. Virtually on the goal line under perceived pressure rather than an opponent breathing down his neck. Suggesting an ‘excitable nervousness’ got the better of him.
 

Dad Doggie was not the most polished player going round but never took a backward step. Young Kynan did not appear overawed on his Casey appearance and seemed to be a deceptively solid build for his age and inherited physique. More tyro Weimaraner than Whippet.

Let’s hope that he nominates the Dees and we pick him up, judging from the write-up’s Kynan deserves a crack at the big time and to be able to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

That profile has MFC under Goodwin written all over it.

I don't think it matters that we already have many players cast from the same mold, as there's a fair age difference between he and them.  I'm getting quite wary that we need some quality young guys comming through to be in position to step up and take the place of our current stars in another 3 - 5 years and it can take that long for a fresh 18yo to reach their peak.

If the club decides to nominate him it'll be through the rookie I presume.

His Dad was ND Pick 66 so there are similarities. Make no mistake his Dad was an absolutely hard at it player who seems to be underrated on here.  If he is at that level he is a draft must.

I seem to be missing something. Brown won mic metro B&F and picked as a starter in VIC best 22 yet is only considered a rookie? 

Yeah, massive drug issue. Spent time at Sam Quentin for running a Bolivian junta in 2012. US Marshalls still looking for him.

I have mentioned this before…

Thanks for posting that article.

But does anyone know how to access the actual AFL rules that govern drafting, F/S, rookies etc.

I've looked but can't find.

I'm not even sure they exist outside numerous media articles.

This is a reasonable summary:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Football_League_draft

Proviso:  The AFL have an enormous propensity to use their 'special herbs and spices' recipe to amend rules at their discretion ie act outside their own rules to favour certain clubs...it happens every year in one way or another.

I understood he had to nominate us and we had to accept by 5pm today. Nothing has come up anywhere that I can find. Anyone heard anything.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
