Exciting Richmond prospect Tom Brown underlined his versatility in Sunday’s clash with Collingwood at the MCG.
Playing forward rather than his customary role in the backline, Brown kicked a team-high and equal game-high three goals.
The first goal he scored, which also was his inaugural one in AFL football, was a superb, set-shot six-pointer from outside the forward-50 arc at the Punt Road end of the ground.
Brown, who turns 21 today (July 30), took five marks, two of them contested, two inside 50, and provided a much-needed spark to the Tigers’ attack.
Richmond coach Adem Yze spoke about Brown’s move into the forward line during his post-match press conference.
“He’s played there in the last couple of weeks,” Yze said.
“We feel like he’s just a talented kid . . . he’s really good at footy.
“So, I knew that’s an opportunity he’d be able to take. And he’s embraced it.
