Tom Brown AFL draft profile: Stats, player comparison and scouting notes

The West Australian’s draft profile series has all the information you need on the State’s leading hopefuls to be picked up by an AFL club later this month. Here, we look at Claremont key defender Tom Brown. Club: Claremont From: Swanbourne Date of birth: Height: 188cm Weight: 86kg Position: Key defender Expected draft range: Late national draft/early rookie draft 2026 averages: 12.0 disposals, 3.2 marks, 2.2 tackles (WAFL colts) AFL player comparison: Max Michalanney Strengths: Competitiveness, intercept marking Question mark: Size Josh Kempton says: Brown picked the perfect time to produce his best performance of the season, starring in front of dozens of recruiters in Western Australia’s loss to Victoria Metro during the under-18 national championships in June. Former Geelong star Tom Lonergan was among the AFL representatives in the stands at Cockburn ARC Oval and may well have seen a bit of himself in the key defender, who did everything he could to repel the eventual carnival winners. Whether Brown is big enough to hold down a key defensive post at AFL level remains an open question, but his effort and endeavour can never be questioned. More on Tom Brown:
