FATHER-SON BOOSTS HIS STANDING - Chris Cavanagh
Melbourne father-son prospect Kynan Brown boosted his standing in this year’s draft pool with some strong performances for Vic Metro across the under-18 national championships.
The Oakleigh Chargers co-captain played predominantly through the midfield and averaged 22.8 disposals, 4.5 clearances, 4.8 tackles and 6.5 score involvements from his four matches.
“He was really consistent and I think his contest work really stood up through each of the games,” Vic Metro coach Rob Harding said of Brown.
“Even when we were challenged by some of the stronger midfields in the nationals, he stood up really well through those games.
“Melbourne has been working with him over the past couple of years and they would have been really excited by what they saw over the past few weeks.”
Brown – who is the son of former Melbourne defender Nathan Brown – has also spent time across half-forward with the Chargers in the Coates Talent League this year.
Along with his strong contest work, the left-footer also brings quick hands, sharp vision and strong creativity in his game.
