His body reminds me of Allen Jakovich with power in the hips.

Kade will be under pressure to keep his place with Billings and McAdam wanting a place in the 22/23.

His early season form needs to be great because once Pickett has served his suspension there will be less places for players like Kade.

The new recruits Caleb and Koltyn will also be looking to get into the team as well as Taj, Blake and Bailey.

He might do a McVee and surprise us all?

I think eventually he will become a taller version of Fritsch or a shorter King, rather than a solid Brown or McDonald

Last year was similar to his 2nd and 3rd year, players like Chandler and McAdam will put lots of pressure on him to get back into the AFL team.

He needs to improve this year since there are lots of players looking to get his job, this will be his 6th season and he needs to get his disposal count into the high 20's to retain his place.

The original list was not very impressive

I was born in another country but emigrated to Australia in 1949 and when I went to school I was asked which team did I barrack for?

Since in my original country we support the town were we lived, in Melbourne but resided in Caulfield, it was the logical club to barrack for.

I said that drafting is like buying a racehorse with good blood lines you never know you have a Winx or a dud until they race and get more mature.

Players are supposed to reach their best years after 25 so under 24 are potential players not guaranteed stars of the game.

I have watched football for over 65 years and noticed some players come into the game with a bang and go out with a whimper a la Cale Morton and Michael Newton.

I think drafting is like buying a racehorse you only know what you got until it races and gets a little older.

He has joined as an A rookie; pick 22 in the rookie draft.  The A rookie status is assumed in the list of selections.

We are allowed 2 B rookies and those positions are filled.

We no longer have any list spots.  We can gain one if a player has a long term injury and is out for the whole season.

 

I just googled the rules and 3 rookie b's are allowed not 2

Does anyone know the significance of Kynan being categorized as a Category B rookie?

Also, we already have 2 Cat B rookies - is there a limit on their number?

I read somewhere that the limit is 3.

According to the AFL web site Kynan is a B Rookie so we have an extra Rookie position? 

People forget that some of the recent players Harmes, Jolly, Jamar, McVee and Turner were rookies, that turned out ok.

Clarkson has created a bluff hoping WC take Curtain with pick 1.

I think the draft is like watching paint dry.

They sit there and basically create drama for drama's sake.

I would not allow any club the time they take to make a pick, gets boring to watch.

If JT thinks he is the best available and is there at our pick then why not, he seems to have all the tools to be a midfielder or forward.

His presence would put pressure on Spargo, Sparrow, ANB, Chandler and Pickett to retain their spots.

I think we should encourage the Western Bulldogs to recruit him since they pickup former Demons (Hannan, Baker and now Harmes) which are in my opinion NQR AFL players.

Is the player in the above picture Kynan Brown?

I have viewed the highlights and other than is build, he is a clone of Viney

Last year some of the posters said Judd McVee had a poor season and should have been delisted, guess what he proved that he is a good player in the making.

Judging players like Jed Adam, Matthew Jefferson and Will Verrall by their development season is like saying Max Gawn will never make it after 3 seasons since he had 2 reconstructions without a pre-season, give them another pre-season and they may blossom?

His highlights are very good but live vision is required to see his overall game.

His disposal looks good as well.

I question what pick would we use to get a light forward requiring at least 3 pre-seasons to get an AFL body.

I think the MFC has Leake-d the information as a distraction from the player they want. 

I read the Herald Sun this morning and the MFC has nominated Kynan as a Father-Son recruit.

What about George Stevens looks a goer and is very solid, fiscal beast ready made for AFL footy.
