Wizard of Koz

I can believe it. Absolutely. Because it's the first week in December and he has no pressure. I am tipping that has got something to do with it.

Needs to get significantly fitter / leaner

No one is asking to cast him aside. Just questioning the wisdom of a 4 year contract and the resulting clogging up a list spot in 24.

You might be missing a few key words there. I dont understand what you mean.

Yeah .... right. North were shipping him out and I cant remember too many other offers. Either way its detrimental that we have the burden of him being on the list in 24. And he was good at times in 21 but lets not get too carried away with his time at the club.

Way too low IQ for me to want to engage with. You think what you want mate, thats cool.

And that Ben Brown is clogging up a list space for an 18, such as but not exclusively K. Brown.

Once again the preciousness has got the better of you and others. Money, Money and Money simply means "A lot of money". Simple as that. What you read into it is your issue. There is no negative projection on BB and if you take the time to not be outraged you will see that clearly. Lamb signing Brown for 4 years when he came injured is the error. Is that hard to work out?

What is the knock on Kynan Brown?

My original comment was not really a criticism of him (although some on here wet their pants) Every single one of us would do exactly the same in his position. I definitely would. The point is that we shouldn't be here and secondly of course, naturally, money is the deciding factor. Subconsciously if not with pure common sense that would 100% be the difference between playing and not for him. If he was playing Senior Footy at Tooradin, same age and same body, do you think he would saddle up again next year and put his body through the sort of rehab and preseason he is about to start? Of course not. Thats just life. This is on Tim Lamb.

I dont think thats the point though. The issue raised is the fact that we are in the position in the first place.

I have 2 eyes! You have one obviously. Money, money and money. That's why he is telling himself he is not cooked.

This is what a clunky, injured, top heavy mess looks like. Having Brown on the list next year is a huge liability. Will always respect and love the guy for 21 but reality is he is the most overcooked player I can remember ever going into an AFL season for any club. And it absolutely denies an 18 y.o an opportunity. Maybe not Kynan Brown but definitely some 18 year old.

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.

He had some physical attributes but opposition coaches worked out quickly that he had an ordinary footy IQ, made many incorrect decisions and was a fumbler under pressure. If it was not for his brother he would not have played 50 games. 3/10 This is a footy forum not an obituary piece. Edit: Wait, what ..... Freo. lol although I honestly hope he does well and makes a go of it.

I hope we don't have to sit through another Dylan Grimes experience. Could have and should have.

He plays as a Power Forward. JVR kicked 32 goals from 9 games and SVR is not at that level.

For the learned watchers, is Sam van Rooyen any chance of being drafted by us? https://wafl.com.au/player/samuel-van-rooyen

Bloody hell he moves well.

I always thought they had a good list. The backline could crumble at any time and there are some plodgers. The recruitment of Harmes is a bit weird as is the 3 year contract but we will take it.

Hopefully Howes does a McVee and gets super ripped and fit and therefore taking a wing. He has talent. He doesnt have time.

Some ordinary teams in there. Thanks to the OP , great resource

We should make Brown the goal kicking coach and get him off the boos like Luke Shuey did at WC.

Sorry mate next time Ill ask permission in my choice of vocab. In all honesty to me: Point crunching is a Dodoro thing and actually making the list better is a Jason Taylor thing. As I said they mean nothing to us. It is real pro sport not EA Games is that better?
