As the cat is out of the bag - BrownlowBruce mentioned this to me:

We dont blame players with 50 games or less we just make them captain eg Brock

he had not played LESS than 50 games

If ever there was a time to dispose of the ball properly, it was with 30 secs to go.

Oh back off. What about the 37 point head start, what about McLean getting tackled 10 meters out in the last quarter instead of just handballing it through for a point. What about the umpiring decision regarding Bruce?? Don't blame Browny because we lost. He has been a brilliant player for our club and along with Neitz and Robbo formed the "trifecta" of Neale's favourites at the club.

Not trying to make excuses for him, but maybe his foot is still bothering him?

I saw him quite clearly limping last night in the first quarter after he put on a chase. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that he is getting injected before matches.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if he does have something bothering him.

However the way he delivers the ball - quite low - does give opposition the opportunity to intercept it.

I don't think his pace is an issue either, but he isn't Davey. He shouldn't try to slip past 2 big defenders. He doesn't have the pace to burn players off is what I'm saying.

For sure, once again I don't disagree - just wouldn't class it as a negative.

I'm sorry, but I can't bear to watch Nathan Brown in Melbourne colours anymore, he was terrible all night, he has to realise his time is up and leave the arena NOW!!!!!!.

Blokes like C Johnson, Buckley, Frawley, Dunn, Garland and Warnock should all be in front of him now

dragging the ball in on friday night was a shocker...and i certainly dont think he has the skills to continue playing at this level... but he always gave his all, and i love any player who u can see hates losing so much (eg. robbo)and he was obviously shattered friday night...daniher was the the one who continued selecting him, all he could do was give his all, and he did. But it is time to move him on.

Brown was terrible all night but he wasn't the only reason why we lost it in the last minute there were a few reasons.

a) We are undoubtably the worst team at slowing down the game we always turn it over.

B) Jones's handball into the middle of the ground when we should of be heading for the boundary.

c) Davey's handball to Brown was pathetic either kick it or try to handball it properly don't do a fancy undrground handball where it can bounce anywhere. Until Davey can get that type of play out of his game playing in the midfield he will not improve as a midfielder that is forward pocket stuff leave that in the forward line not the midfield.

d) What Bizzell done was the exact reason why I lost faith in him. When you leave your man to go in a pack you make sure you belt the crap out of it what did Bizzell do he went to the pack got nowhere near it and left Lucas all by himself that is as disgraceful as falling over in a contest that is inexcuseable yes Brown should not play a game again but we should be saying the same about Bizzell.

If Bizzell had not have gone for the punch and an Essendon player had of marked it, people would be having a go at him for not going the spoil.

It was a risk he had to take.

EDIT: His actual attempt wasn't the best, seeing as the ball went through the pack, but I think that the idea was right.

I think if you are playing on a player as dangerous Lucas you should stay on him and if Essendon kicked a goal anyway so be it, he should have been doing his job which was to stop Lucas if he had I wouldn't be blaming him.

I also think the early injury to Bell cost us as much as anything on the night, if not more - he seemed to have the measure of Lucas for the brief period he was covering him.... Yet it does not seem to rate a mention, I guess it's easier to bag players. More fun perhaps.

Couldn't find another thread related to the Brown Dog so thought I'd bump this.

I just saw Nathan Brown and Daniel Ward having a chat in the Australia On Collins foodcourt. I often see Brown around that area, on Collins near the corner of Elizabeth. Both look pretty fit.

I guess the reason I'm telling everyone this is because seeing those two has brought on a strange, uncomfortable sense of nostalgia, as I long for the Daniher days of yore.

Maybe because the success of the 00s was my first (and only) experience of sustained Demons success?

Either way I thought they were fine contributors in the Daniher days (despite the negativity of this thread) and it makes me sad to think I look back on those days like as if they were 10 years ago.

Oh wait, they were...

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
