SOTARAMAFL SCOUTING VIEW
Tom Brown scouting report
Tom Brown is the 2026 draft crop’s "rock-solid aerial intercept and structural stopper" out of the west. Measuring in at an athletic 188cm, the Claremont Colts premiership backman surged onto AFL draft radars and earned an AFL State Draft Combine invite off the back of an outstanding, composed campaign for Western Australia at the National Championship
Brown can provide defensive value by getting to the right place early enough to make the aerial contest manageable. A secure possession is especially useful when it gives the players around him time to spread and organise an exit. We would look for him to keep balancing that intercept instinct with dependable work on his direct opponent, particularly when the entry does not give him a clean run at the ball.
AFL player comparison
Callum Wilkie
Callum Wilkie provides the benchmark template for Brown's style and structural value. Standing at 188cm, Brown plays with that identical "accountability-first" hybrid mindset where he rarely, if ever, gets beaten in one-on-one duels.

How to read this profile
Rankings use only published results collected for the same test and event, with competition ranking for ties. The denominator is the number of known results, not all participants. Preliminary and unofficial figures are shown without ranks or historical comparisons. Reaching-hand, side-specific and counter-movement protocols stay separate.
Scouting bands are the site's existing editorial view; no numerical skill ratings have been inferred from prose. Historical marks use the AFL's records reference. The 2km event began in 2017; no 3km, beep-test or Yo-Yo conversion is used. Harry Sharp's 2020 mark is a historical reference across differing event conditions. Finlay Yeo's WA agility result may surpass the national benchmark without changing that benchmark's event scope.
