If someone says 'speedy hard-nut' about a player, my thoughts immediately go to the small defender role. I think it is one of our few deficiencies not yet invested in through kids coming through.

So, the obvious question I have for the draft watchers; do you think Kynan Brown's attributes shown as a mid and forward can translate into the tough small defender we need.

It might also be a much easier path to cracking the 22, considering the potency and depth of our mids and small forwards.

    A review from a BF poster:

    K. Brown is a workhorse. His decision making is really good. I love how he values a HB as much as a kick, there aren’t too many that I can confidently say have this mindset. He spent time in the midfield and across HB, but his mid work was strong with 6 clearances. Brown is definitely one that doesn’t get the plaudits he deserves. Dees recruitment staff would be happy with how Brown is progressing. I see him starting as a nippy back pocket like his dad was, but eventually spending time as one of the Dees mids. It doesn’t matter where his selection comes from, he will definitely land a spot on the Dees list.

    Hearing speed mentioned a bit, is he a quick off the mark player or more a good speed over 30m? Or both?

    it's not often these days that kids play primary roles as defenders in their final underage year - the last two i can think of who did so are trent rivers (who was moved to a defender role from midfield) and isaac quaynor

    if kynan brown can have the sort of impact that those two boys have had since their debut seasons then we'll be very, very happy

    If Quaynor's one on one defending is anything to go by then I would be extremely happy with that.

    Honestly he's like a cleaner and quicker version of Jack Viney. Sometimes I even see Josh Daicos as well with how nimble he can be around stoppages.

    He's a left footer at similar height. One thing that caught me by surprise watching him was his vision and awareness especially going inside 50.

    There were times I thought he was going to blaze away when he would burst out of stoppages but he lowered his eyes and would hit up the leading forward. His ball use is very clean and certainly won't have any issues with delivering the footy inside 50 or around the ground in general. 

    Really intrigued to see how he's goes this year especially when the under 18's championships start.

    No, we have already established he is a left footed Nick Daicos.

    Anyone know how young Kynan went in the academy game on the weekend?

    Kynan played for the Ogs again in the ammos on Saturday and I was more impressed with his game this week than last. He's got good poise, is quick, and generally makes good decisions.

    Was named in OGG’s best against AJAX and was given high praise by one of their fans on the boundary.

    I loved the way that Doggy Brown played too.  Hard, tenacious, skillful and loyal to the core for the MFC.

    That Dogga bloke was ok and played a great 3rd quarter in a MFC premiership, but he doesn't even have a son yet, let alone one that will qualify to play in the red and blue one day! 🤣

    Sounds better every report! If we structure our picks well we might get a real bargain come draft time.

    Kynan and another elite mid pick could potentially set us up perfectly for the next era. Could have immediate impact at half forward or back also.

    From the OGGs match report for Saturday:

    We welcomed back Kynan Brown for his 2nd game of the year who really gives us some run and explosion out of the half back line.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
