Game-high tying four goals
FMelbourne Demons
August 1, 2021
Brown collected 12 disposals, six marks, four goals, two tackles and hitouts each and a single behind Saturday as Melbourne downed Gold Coast 128-30 at Marvel Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Brown produced at a high-level on Saturday, matching season-highs for kicks (10), disposals and marks and registering his best goal, hitout and fantasy score (88 points) aggregates of 2021. The 28 year-old heads into a Round 21 match-up with West Coast having played in just six games this year season, but each of Melbourne's last four, the latter in which he's averaged 11.25 touches, 5.5 marks, 1.75 majors, 1.25 behinds and two tackles a showing.
Returning ahead of schedule
FMelbourne Demons
July 6, 2021
Contrary to a previous report, Brown (heel) will play in Round 17 versus Port Adelaide, Riley Beverdige of AFL.com.au reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was expected to be out this week, but his heel injury has clearly improved faster than expected. The forward has only drawn into two matches this season, but he's averaged just 38.5 fantasy points across those appearances, which both came in May.
Won't feature in Round 17
FMelbourne Demons
Heel
July 5, 2021
Brown (heel) won't play in Round 17 against Port Adelaide, the team announced.
ANALYSIS
Brown's heel injury is only expected to sideline him for one-to-two weeks, so there's a chance he could return towards the end of the month. As things stand now, it's best to treat him as questionable ahead of Round 18 with an eye towards a full return in Round 19.
Ready for Demons debut
FMelbourne Demons
April 28, 2021
Brown is set to play Round 7, AFL Ratings reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's debut with the Demons will come versus North Melbourne. During the 2020 season, Brown averaged 6.9 disposals, 0.9 goals and 0.9 behinds across nine appearances.
To play in VFL
FMelbourne Demons
Knee
April 6, 2021
Brown (knee) is expected to play in the VFL this weekend, according to Performance Manager Darren Burgess.
ANALYSIS
Brown may not return to the AFL side immediately, but he's not far away from getting back to full fitness. He'll need to improve in 2021 to be worth attention for fantasy.
