Ben Brown article

Saw a couple of articles on Ben Brown but most notably on 2021 flag.

Personally he had lost all confidence and forgotten how to play, stripped it back to few key items particularly competing and got some confidence back just in time to help win flag.

He noted how few injuries we had and how fit the team was leading into finals series. Then on the big day, 19 points behind in 3rd quarter and Oliver, Petracca & Jackson unleashed!

Post 2021 his knee realistically gone, so basically it ended up we got him in won flag and he was done. Re culturally he said footy clubs have their challenges and Demons werenโ€™t perfect but not everything bad, also highlighted the impact of losing Brayshaw!

    Losing Brayshaw was massive in so many ways, very very big part of the story.

    Where are these articles would love to read them.

    I agree 100%, it was the glue and brains in the team.

    Brayshaw knew where to position himself on the field and particularly supporting the defence! Also glue off the field!

    When you see how Pendlebury got the Pies home on Saturday, you realise the impact of missing Brayshaws on field contribution!

    One way to fix our so called cultural problems would be to get Ben Brown back to Club in some capacity.

    Noโ€ฆ heโ€™s gone to the dark sideโ€ฆ Essendon

    He loved working with our girls but he wasnโ€™t being paid.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
