Jonathan Brown


The Chazz

Recommended Posts

Hope you're right Balls! I can tell you one thing - unlike a majority or people in here, I will be delighted if J Brwn doesn't make it this weekend. He is a great player who is a proven match winner off his own boot. He was going to be a tough match-up, Frawley is the obvious answer for Fev, Garland and Joel Mac to take Staker and Brennan, would have left Warnock on Brown which I was a bit nervous about, especially seems Brown likes to go up the ground a bit (I think if he plays/played out of the goal square Warnock would be capable).

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but the task in considerably easier if he doesn't play. It will still show where our list is at at the moment, and will give us a slight chance to be 3-2 by the end of the long weekend.

If he is injured, maybe its better he plays???? Target the injury-make him feel it. Put him off his game. Interesting situation either way.

I recall Frawlery playing on Fevola in about round 18 last year. Kept him virtually kickless until Bailey took him off! I recall the ABC broadcasting the match and describing Frawley's frustration as Fevola got back into the match and ended up kicking quite a few.Frawley's the man for Fev in my vies.

Brennan could be a big threat now

Spot on, I remember the game, Jamar kicked 5, and Carlton were looking decidedly ordinary : Bails got nervous about the upset, so bye-bye Chipper. Notice how I didn't mention the word 'tank'...........oops!

You see, the thing about Melbourne supporters is they take pride in edumacation.

It stops them from doing dumb stuff like comparing Jack Watts to Luke Molan, then mouthing off about 'contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue'.

Most of the time.

Pure gold .. LMAO

I can't believe we have only played the Lions at the G once since 2000. That was last year and we won by a point. Amazing stat.

That's a ripper stat. I've been telling everyone whose questioned me on our chances this weekend that we haven't lost to the Lions at the G in ten years...no further explanation required.

According to AFL teams (Fox Sports) he will have a fitness test 4pm friday. Parkin is adamant he won't play for what that is worth.

The Lions are training about a block from my work at 4, might have to sneak out early and he see how he trains..with a close eye on Black at the same time

He didn't train. So if it was meant to be a fitness test it didn't happen. Black is also under a cloud even though he trained. I suspect both won't play. Voss gave the biggest hint when he said it is a long season and they have to be careful with their players in relation to injuries.

Well if neither play Brisbane will have 0 Premiership players in their team.

First time since 2003 someone told me.

That doesn't make sense.

If Brown nor Black play, Brisbane will have no premiership players tonight.

Yeah, if Brown and Black are both withdrawals, then Brisbane won't have any premiership players in its team tonight. And someone told me that this would be the first time that his has happened since they won their most recent flag (i.e. every match Brisbane's played since that Grand Final, they've had at least 1 premiership player in their team).

I dunno about all these injuries. No Power, and let's say Brown and Sherman... and Black is underdone. Who have we beaten? Don't get me wrong, posters here have changed my mind... we certainly are more desperate for wins than honourable losses... But Jesus.

Ah. It was the 2003 I didn't agree with, you'd have to go back to '01 at least

Oops, well the point is still valid, it's been a while since they've fielded a team without a premiership player.

There are murmurings by Lions supporters that Sherman is out with a corky.

That would help more than Black being out IMO. Black's not been in the greatest of form this year, and he'd be somewhat underdone if he did play. Sherman's been good for them this year.

I'll still take the win thankyou very much. We're not a finals team. Every win's a good win.

Even if Black, Brown and Sherman are all out, who cares? They're still an undefeated team with players like Fevola, Brennan, Drummond, McGrath, Rich, Leuenberger, Johnstone. There's plenty of talent outside of their injured players, and they're a finals, and premiership contender, which we aren't. Ergo, beating them, despite their injuries, will be a good win for the club.

In a way I agree with you Dan, it would be preferred to win against top teams who are full strength.

On the other hand, we're owed a bit of a luck don't you think?

What he's saying is that every game from the 2003 premiership until now they have had at least 1 premiership player playing.

Good stat that. They'll have as much experience as us! In fact we'll have more because Green played in the 2000 GF.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
