Gone a bit early here, he could still be bidded on early-ish I can't see us matching a bid in the 50's. Welcome hime once we land him _________________ "To know nothing of events before your birth, is to forever remain a child" - Cicero (Roman Lawyer/Senator) 46 BCE. |

Pretty sure we will match a bid in the 50s. _________________ Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero. |

On past history, I've we've nominated him we'll likely match a reasonable bid. If we thought he'd slip low, or didn't rate him, we wouldn't have nominated him. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Let's see what is considered early. Will his old man have North bidding on him again?
Pick 38 too early? he's a pretty speculative prospect. Whippet thin but has a bit more height than his brother at 6.2 in the old. _________________ One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership |

Who knows in this draft. It could be all over the place from around pick 2 onwards.
The best we can all hope for is that the bid comes in after 38, then at least we get another targeted player before we then knowingly add Brown to the list.
His " body of work " is interesting. He showed very little until around his last half dozen games when he really blossomed. It just depends how clubs choose to guage the small sample size of his last few performances. |

I reckon Hine was (not so) subtly trying to dissuade other clubs from picking Tyler.
To be honest, I'm more pissed off that Ron Richards grandson looks like going to Carlton. |

With his mop of hair he actually plays a bit like his great uncle apart from being a left footer, while I think Lou was a right footer. I would be happier recruiting Ed Richards than Tyler Brown. Wait and see I guess but there's no way in the world we will part with pick 38 to secure Tyler. |

You'd reckon Richards is more likely than your average draftee to look to get to the club he supported given the rich family history.
Going to the scum probably only increases our chances.
Let someone else do the early development then we'll swoop in in coming seasons. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

Assuming Carlton go for Dow in the first round why would they go for Ed Richards in the second round? Doesn't make any sense to me. Hopefully they bypass him. |

Welcome to the club.
Quote: | Selection No. 50 - Tyler Brown
Position: Midfielder
Height: 189cm
Weight: 81kg
Born: 09/12/1999
Recruited from: Eastern Ranges
Profile
Developing medium midfielder with elite agility. Brown shows poise with the football in hand and has massive upside physicality. Mixed football between Marcellin College and Eastern Ranges. Brother to Callum Brown and son of former Collingwood star Gavin Brown. Much like his dad, the 17-year-old is a skilful wingman who isn’t a big talker. The Magpies nominated Brown under the father-son rule.
What they say
"He's very much like Gavin, in that he's a shy boy, very introverted in the way he goes about his business, but like his old man, he has a lot of ability. I think he'll end up playing on the wing like Gavin because he's got some attributes that really stand out. He's got good pace, he's a good size, a beautiful step and (has good) awareness,” - Darren Bewick (Eastern Rangers coach), afl.com.au, 16 October 2017
“In the past six to 12 months, he has really started to grow into his body. His talent is untapped, he has a massive ceiling in terms of where he could potentially get to. He just does AFL things, there are things he does in games, I call it having the ‘Brown brain’…His movement and ability in and out of traffic is similar to Cal,” – Len Villani (Eastern Rangers talent manager), Manningham Leader, 15 June 2017
“Tyler is a developing midfielder with a good turn in traffic. At 186cm, he is taller than both his older brother and father. He’s shown at times throughout this season that he certainly looks like he’s AFL capable. He’s very sure with ball in hand and makes really good decisions,” – Derek Hine (Collingwood’s National Recruiting Manager), afl.com.au, 25 October 2017 |

Would have preferred him at pick 65 than pick 51 but that's life I guess. |
