Ben Brown article

D4Life
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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 weren’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.

    No… he’s gone to the dark side… Essendon

    He loved working with our girls but he wasn’t being paid.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
