That goal in the third quarter was a real highlight. It’s taken a while for me to see the potential, but he is adding a lot to the team right now.

Hey, that comment just resonated with me. I think you nailed it, in terms of his grit, guts, and skill. But he needs to bulk up a bit.

Yeah, likewise. Tonight was a revelation to me as well.

Not sure he can keep Sier, WHE and Mayne out of the best 22 when they are ready to come back in, but he is coming along beautifully and i think he graduated to potential best 22 caliber player tonight. That simply means we have 26 of them right now (and maybe 28 if you include Greenwood and Scharenberg - with more to come as Kelly, Quaynor and others continue to evolve). Commentators kept saying that Buckley adores Brown and tries to get him into the team whenever he can.

Was a well rounded game by Callum and I feel it’s easy to blossom in an environment that exists at Collingwood

Whilst Callum is still developing he will drop off during the year and be replaced with another cog to keep the machine working.

What is encouraging is the experience back up the kid has with the likes of Pendles and Co to tutor him an the job

It's interesting the effect that a stuff-up by another player has on some peoples' views of a player's effectiveness. Brown was close to unstoppable in the third quarter. True it is that the 'Pies kicked 8 goals but, really, if Maynard and Elliott had taken the chances Brown created for them late in the quarter, it could have been 10.
That's the second week in a row that he has played a major role in closing the game out for Collingwood. Although he got two great goals (one soda generated by his brilliant, hard-running deep into the goal square and the other generated by his evasive skills and turn of genuine speed over the first couple of steps), it's actually his first-touch hand-skill that is going to destroy oppositions, game in, game out as he develops. As he gets stronger, we're going to get used to watching players stream forward on the back of his exquisite distribution.
I do not want to invite stupid comparisons but it is worth observing that Gary Ablett Jnr did not really run the midfield consistenly until he was two years older than Callum is, at present. At the same age, he was also playing predominantly as a high half-forward. |

His last quarter last week against the doggies was an eye opener, and it was great to see him back it up with another solid performance.
Coming along very nicely. |

In a typically short sighted moment of stupidity I was ready to write him off in the first qtr. Proved me well and truely wrong.

Callum has always been very clean below his knees but for some reason it's only been noticed on Nicks in the last two weeks
He will be an absolute gun.... at the moment he is just building his body so he can play his best roll.
Which is as an inside midfielder
2 years from now he will be an absolute beast in the middle
