Exactly, if you don't rate this kid, sorry, you're a muppet and you should go back to your video games and comic books.
Thank You

Has it by the bucketloads,

He'll be ok :)

At the ripe old age of 19, sadly Callum is long in the tooth already. My motto is that players should only have one single game to prove themselves and if they can't, just show them the door. Development and patience is overrated :roll:

Legit question.
Yeah I have definitely watched him closely these last two games.
He definitely has some talent.
Interesting to see how he goes in the next few weeks.
I await his coming out with interest.

Good to see you are at least " open minded ".
Great awareness and quick hands. There is a lot to like.

Yes he has very quick hands.
I have seen him pull out of the contest twice in 2 matches.
Not a great look but can be forgiven at his age.
Still I want to wait before calling his value .. but looking good so far.

He's going to have Adams' place at the centre bounces some time over the next two years, at most. He's much cleaner with his hands and a better user of the ball, as well.

Callum reminds me of Liam Picken, takes a few years, but this type of guy with his pedigree will be a star.

Yep, was very impressed with his follow-up efforts - he just keeps at it, come what may. There was one passage of play there around the 50m mark, where he just kept digging in and had several quick handballs to advantage.

He looks ok to me. Yes, he is a bit small, but he goes hard at the contest and this will serve him well. If the opposition know Callum will always put his body on the line there is a higher chance they may back off a little. If he can fill out horizontally I will say he will make it. He played a great game tonight.

Carey insisted that Steele Sidebottom was an absolute gun a long time before others started noticing.

He was incredibly complimentary of Callum Brown's game tonight. He noticed his very very clesan hands in congestion and his hard at the ball style (that is reminiscent of his dad). I rate that.

Think the kids should see some more game time and think he has a good shot at establishing himself in our team.

I'm very impressed with him this year. Awareness and decision making in close is outstanding for such a young player. The boy certainly has it.
