Adelaide Crows Sign The Next Jonathan Brown

Drafts are always fun as fans, and the teams as well, make some big predictions and comparisons. If the prospect is very tall and coordinated the tag of "The Next Dean Cox" is often given to them. If they are short and get the ball 50 times a game, "The Next Greg Williams". Adelaide fans should be excited, as well as patient for two or three years, as they could have "The Next Jonathan Brown".

The hype around the Crows' new forward Taylor Walker is just going to keep getting bigger if he keeps getting taller. It wasn't too long ago that he was listed at 188cm, now he is said to be 192cm with the expectation to be even bigger. Jonathan Brown is listed at around 195cm and 102kg.


Perrie is gone, Welsh isn't a long-term answer if he stays there, so Walker might be in the Adelaide goal-square at full forward a lot sooner than some think.

From The Advertiser: Teen talent to burn

an exciting, raw-boned teenager who is modelling his game on Brisbane matchwinner Jonathan Brown.

At 17 and still building his body, the 192cm, strong-marking forward will take time to develop in the SANFL.

Walker, who believes he still has another 3 or 4cm of growth in him, has a history of performing in big games

The Advertiser has just showed how little Adelaide has going for it.

"The new Jonathan Brown".....turn it up!!!

The original real deal still has plenty of improvement in him.

This Walker kid will need to be a cross between the Incredible Hulk and Jesus Christ to even come close.

Aaaah you got me...I am a Lions supporter!!!

The fans at Adelaide might have something to be excited about, as Walker is closer to Brown, than someone like Perrie, with the way he plays.

Last year it was Tom Hawkins who was "The Next Jonathan Brown".

The Lions are lucky, they have the real one.
