Nov 13, 2025Up-and-coming Richmond defender Tom Brown has heaped praise on Adem Yze's fresh approach to the 2026 season.
With a new 'flat out' mentality filling the four walls of the Swinburne Centre, it's hard to ignore the confidence building in a young side.
And, with the AFL introducing a new top 10 system, which will include Wildcard Finals, Brown believes the time is no better than now, to push up back into contention.
"I reckon it's great for the league, and it's good for us, a team on the up, because we can get back there sooner rather than later," Brown told 10 News.
The preparation has started for the young Tiger cubs, with the first-to-four year players returning to an excited coaching group.
"We had a meeting Monday and they [the coaches] want us to go full noise straight away, to make mistakes," Brown said.
"Because that's how you get better."
