The young Tiger that caught David King’s eye most was 20-year-old Tom Brown who had 16 disposals at 87 per cent efficiency to go with 11 intercepts.

The former No.17 draft pick stands out most for his beautiful kicking style and ability to find a target, and King expects Brown to develop into an absolute star with the more opportunities he gets.

“They’ve got a ripper in Tom Brown,” King said on SEN Breakfast.

“He's going to be a beauty, the son of (former Geelong player) Paul Brown. He had 11 intercepts for the night.

“He's got class, he's got poise, he actually makes the right decision every time.

“I know he's a beautiful kick and everyone talks about his actual kicking efficiency and his style.

“But he can kick the ball 50 metres off one or two steps - he’s one of those guys - and he sees things that others don't.

“I think he's going to be an absolute star. What a steal he is at the selection they got him.”

Thought his kicking was dreadful in the first half- asked at the time -is it a myth like Shortsteps but he proved me wrong in the second...Goulden-like, hell even Darren Jarman would've been proud....still has things to work on though,...disagree that he always makes the right decisions .....doesn't always go when it's his turn and can get himself into a bit of a panicky tangle when the opposition closes in on him.... :shh

Seems like the media have latched on to him being a beautiful kick. Seems like every time he touches it, it gets mentioned lol

There was 1 effort in the third where the ball was turned over and he didn’t run back anywhere near hard enough. Will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was gassed. If it wasn’t for the 9 day break followed by the bye I’d consider managing him against the hawks but he should be good to go.

Still excited by him, looks like he could be a top player.

As WP said in the main game thread, Brown and his 3 goals was a rare positive out of today.

Welcome to Brown town
Before Sunday's contest, Tom Brown had never kicked an AFL goal. After Sunday's contest, he now has three to his name. On an afternoon where goals were hard to come by, the 18-gamer was dangerous in front of goals, and his teammates' celebrations showed just how much they valued his contributions. Every player on the field flocked to Brown when he kicked his maiden major from outside 50. In a bleak season for the Tigers, the maturation of Brown has been a positive.

Where did he play as a junior?

Given how crap our forward line is I just can't believe we wouldn't try him forward.

Marks, kicking is a thing of beauty, decent height.

Could be the next Jack Riewoldt.

Called it!

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
