Congratulations Kynan looking forward to seeing you out on the G Saturday night.

Fascinating the threads that get preferred ongoing attention to ones like these.

Thanks, @DeeZone, and go Pup!

I need to acknowledge attention (mixed!) on pregame thread

Best of luck pup, hopefully the first of many and the start of a long career

I hear Malthouse and Cornes don't rate Brown

With this weeks 'ins', joining Chin and Kossie, and when that Casey beanpole clicks, all we'll then need is the other young White to join us and 'K' will become the new 'J' at the Dees!

 

(...though oh for the sensible days of Ken, Kevin, Keith, even Kit)

Tom Morris reporting the Brown family were unhappy ANB made the debut announcement, when they were promised Kozzie.

Great news. He looked very at home at this level in the practice games and had a huge crack (not in the plumber's sense)

Apparently Tom morris got this story from a Collingwood source. 

We certainly need some energy and enthusiasm within the group so I think this debut is a great call

Can't wait to see him in action! How's his form been at Casey? Haven't been following too closely

Musing on this good news based entirely on a couple of pre-draft clips and reports from Casey-watchers - am I on the correct planet when I feel like Kynan might gradually fill a very similar role (positionally and 'attitudinally' to Nibbler?

Can never have too many honest workers who produce the occasional outstanding game in amongst a consistent team-oriented body of work.

Kynan is certainly a goer & good luck to him. I've seen most of Casey games this year & I reckon AMW is more developed & has been in better form but what would I know.

Great observation Little Goffy.😁

Best of luck to him. I was impressed with him in his draft year. He's got a great work ethic and loves to crack in and try to use his speed too. His attitude could carry him far as a player, but he's still got some size to put on to compete at AFL level. His ceiling and aim would be an ANB pressure and link type player at the level. 

Keen to see how he goes against North. Won't die wondering!

Just saw his latest photograph today and he has morphed into a clone of his dad.

Always great to see a debut. However, I am surprised. I would have thought others from Casey were ahead of him for a debut (AMW for example) but I think it is his two way running, attitude and adaptability that might have given him the nod. 

His dad was one of my favourite players: dogged and consistent, but also had a great side-step and feint to throw opposition players away from him. It would be great to see this passed down the genetic line. 

Watched the announcement video and the BCNA visit video as well. Both great vids and the second one a great initiative by the club. You can't stay down too long as a group and it was great to see the boys energised.

'Go and be a great little teammate'

Love* it.

 

* Speaking of; fathers and sons expressing love for/to eachother. The world is sometimes getting better.

And this - another player reflecting positively on Greg Stafford: 'Staff's been huge'. I guess it could mean they like what he gives, rather than it necessarily being effective in games, but...

Ready to see Flyin Kynan go round!

Warning:   This musical tribute to Kynan Brown is rated R (for repulsive).

Amw is only good at getting cheap positions of half back, can't get a kick anywhere else

Don't want to be a party pooper

 

How does Kynan get a game in front of AMW?

Perhaps playing a different role SthSea22, we shall soon find out.
