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.

    Not working with the Demon girls now?

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

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      Itโ€™s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brillianceโ€”mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

      ๏ปฟAย steamyย Springfieldย evening set the stage for a blockbusterย top-fourย clash between two AFLW heavyweights.ย Brisbane, the bookiesโ€™ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing inโ€”the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season.ย It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6โ€“4 edge. Butย whileย the Lionsย broughtย theย chaos andย roared loudest, the Demonsย arenโ€™t doneย yet.
