Jonathan Brown on Setanta O'hAilpin

[BlueYoss]

Don't get too excited people -this is not breaking news, I'm searching for old news....

I distinctly remember an interview with Jonathan Brown after a Carlton game where commented what a great defender Setanta would be after he'd got 40 games under his belt.

I'm not sure if this was after our NAB Cup win or after the Round 5 shootout.

I have searched cyberspace for audio/video/text quotes of this interview on a number of occassions and haven't had any luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Terrifically entertaining game, with the ball whipped end-to-end at a furious pace and goals rattling through every minute in an amazing first half. Typically Pagan-esque in it’s design, the Bluies’ attacking game plan eventually foundered on their mistakes, particularly an awful collision between defenders which allowed Brisbun to score the crucial first goal of a tight final term. The Lyin’s are going well now with three wins from the first five, Leigh Matthews’s ‘don’t look back’ approach to team-rebuilding drawing praise. In team selection the Bluies lost forward Brad Fisher with a fractured cheekbone, he’ll be out for 4-6 weeks. He was replaced by second-gamer Ryan Jackson. The Lyin’s dropped ruckman Cameron Wood and running player Matthew Moody for ruckman Beau McDonald and running player Marcus Allan.[/SIZE]
The goal avalanche started early, within 40 seconds Bloo Kade Simpson played on from a free-kick and bounced it through from 50m. A bit later Lance Whitnall, playing at CHF, collected a loose ball, sold a noice dummy and snapped truly to great delight from Blueser fans. Whitnall was ‘back’, for a while, as he led smartly, took grabs and worked hard. At the other end Brisbun juggernaut Jonathan Brown was taking marks and he’d also been to goal-kicking school during the week, bagging one in the first quarter, ruckman Jamie Charman booted a couple too. The Bluies might’ve led at quarter-time if it weren’t for some poor misses, from Eddie Betts in particular. The Lyin’s led by a point at the first break. Sixteen goals, and just two behinds, were scored in an amazing second stanza. The Bluesers opened with a three-goal burst, Whitnall held a two-grab mark on a lead and booted truly. Consecutive centre-clearances led to consecutive goals for Cameron Cloke, the first from roving to Fevola, the second a free-kick for off-ball holding. The Bluies led by 17 points. The Lyin’s had barely touched the ball in that sequence but some scrambling and pack-battling led to Luke Power snapping a major. Whitnall responded with another mark and goal, found by Matty Lappin’s smart kick. The laconic Jared Brennan was replaced by Jason Roe as Whitnall’s opponent. The Lyin’s crept closer as Jon Brown imposed himself again, he was all alone to mark and convert from Richard Hadley’s pass, a minute later Brown set up a mark and major for Joel Patfull. Great kick from Patfull. The Blues booted the next two sausages, Eddie Betts bagged the first and the crowd was roaring their approval following the second, a great effort from Andrew Walker setting up a running roost for Kade Simpson. Carton by 17 points again. Heath Scotland soiled the scorebook with the term’s first behind, but now the balance tipped Brisbun’s way as Chris Johnson shifted forward. Johnson led to mark on the 50m line and quickly chip a pass to Power, he converted. Good work from Johnson to keep the ball alive also created the next goal, Ashley McGrath snapping truly. Ben Fixter punted ‘em forward from the next centre-bounce, Brown bustled opponents aside for an emphatic grab and major to level the scores. And then Carlton found a bit. Lyin’ Roe spilled a difficult marking chance and lurking Fevola snapped truly from close range. Marc Murphy won the subsequent centre-clearance and kicked long, Betts roved the pack, finessed smartly and snapped a great goal. A minute later Betts booted an even better goal, collecting the loose ball and lobbing it through from 45m. The Blooze led by 19 points but the Lyin’s scored the final goal of the term, Johnson doing smartly to win the ball, dummy and centre a pass for Cheynee Stiller to mark, 15m out right in front. He converted after the siren. Phew.
The pace of scoring slowed moderately in the third term. Lyin’ Jason Roe booted the first major, running onto a loose ball 55m out and thumping it home. The Lisbon Brians proceeded to burn a few chances before Fevola soared for a big grab over the back of the pack, marking Walker’s badly sliced shot. Fev converted, Bluies by 13. A minute later Fevola led and marked on the 50m line, but opted to pass to Murphy whose shot hit the post. Poor option for long-kickin’ Fev. The Lyin’s began to control the game now, through Simon Black, Luke Power and a more functional forward-line. Tim Notting majored from a free-kick, ridden into the ground by Bret Thornton. Patfull free-kicked the Lyin’s forward again and big Jamie Charman roved Brown’s contest to boot a long major. Robert Copeland kicked the Brians into attack from the restart, young Bryce Gibbs spoiled well on McGrath but the ball spilled for Notting to blast it through from point-blank. The Lyin’s led, by 4 points. Young Lyin’ Colm Begley forced a turnover and Black punted ‘em forward again, his well-placed kick finding Patfull for a mark and major. The Bluies needed something. Fevola marked, played-on and sprayed it hopelessly wide, but a minute later a great handpass from Murphy allowed Simpson to boot an excellent left-footed goal. Brisbane’s score was a phenomenally accurate 18.1 at this stage but now Chris Johnson and Jon Brown missed comparatively easy set shots. Some smart finesse from Simpson got the ball to Cloke, he goaled and the Bluebaggers were in front again, by 2 points. Before the final change Brown missed again from a tough angle. They were falling apart. In contrast to the previous quarters, the final term saw goals hard to come by. Tiredness was the chief reason, from the frenetic pace of the game. Carlton scored three consecutive behinds to take a 4-point lead, followed by three in-a-row for Brisbun. Brown should’ve been paid a terrific mark before one of them. Twelve minutes in came the key moment, after some rugged scrambling in attack Lyin’ Justin Sherman lobbed a kick towards the goal-square. Three Bluie defenders camped under the ball, but for some reason Scotland tried to out-mark taller team-mate Setanta O’hAilpin. The ball spilled and before Simpson could react, McGrath sped in and soccered a goal. Brisbun led by 5 points. Ben Fixter won the ball at the restart and passed to Brown, he stabbed a pass to leading Johnson who converted. The Lyin’s won the ball at the restart and Power speared the ball to Johnson again, he goaled again and suddenly the Lyin’s were 17 points ahead. The Lyin’s scored a couple more points before the Bluies roused for one last effort, their fans were furious when first Fevola, then Lappin were denied free-kicks in range of the sticks. But their only remaining joy was a goal after the final siren for Lappin.
There are a lot of Lyin’ cubs but the old(er) men made the key difference, dominant Jonathan Brown (15 marks, 27 disposals, 3 goals) at CHF and Simon Black (26 disposals) and Luke Power (26 touches, 2 goals) in midfield, Chris Johnson (8 marks, 16 possies, 3 goals) at full-forward and wingman Tim Notting (17 touches, 2 goals). Of the younger brigade the running of Cheynee Stiller (28 disposals, 12 marks, a goal) and the work from big man Jamie Charman (10 touches, 3 goals) were important. Forward-flanker Joel Patfull (7 marks, 8 kicks, 2 goals) was handy. Ashley McGrath kicked 2 goals. The Blooze could be happy about the run provided by Ryan Houlihan (29 disposals), Kade Simpson (18 possessions, 3 goals) and Heath Scotland (25 touches, 7 marks), back-flanker Andrew Walker (15 possies, a goal) was pretty good too. Lance Whitnall (17 disposals, 11 marks, 3 goals) was terrific early but wasn’t a factor after half-time, the combined effects of unfitness and Roe. Eddie Betts (13 touches, 3 goals) worked hard in attack and Matty Lappin (19 handlings, a goal) wasn’t bad. Brendan Fevola kicked 3 goals and spent most of the night whinging to the umpires, Cameron Cloke also bagged 3 goals. Denis Pagan pondered the efforts of the respective captains. "(Whitnall) was terrific and we're so pleased for 'Red' because he's been to hell and back . . . he looked like the 'Red' of old." On Brisbun’s Brown, Pagan said “Fancy playing full-forward and having 26 possessions, that was probably the difference between the two sides . . . (but) I'm not disappointed with Setanta (O’hAilpin, Brown’s opponent all night). He's always going to get better. When Setanta's got 60 games under his belt, he's going to be one of the best defenders in the game. Unfortunately we can't give him another 40 in one week." Leigh Matthews said "(Brown's) been pretty good. I mean he's been double-teamed almost every game we've played. We rearranged our forward line a little bit tonight to make it harder to double team him and that may have worked . . . Carlton had the tougher preparation. They played the twilight game in Perth last Sunday afternoon, so that was a short week for them after coming off Subiaco, so I was always hoping that would mean that they would have a tough game to play the game out strongly," he said.

Could it have been on The Footy Show when Brown has been on the panel? I remember him saying it too!

So you'll be posting a transcript? Grouse.

 

[j-ham]

I vaguely remember it too - Brown said something about how good Setanta will be when he gets some experience under his belt.

Just for you

It does ring a bell. Unfortunately my bell is a little cracked these days.

 

[Il Naso De Gastev]

Brown has given O'hAilpin a towelling each time they've played on each other.

 

[iRemember87]

as much as i hate it, Brown then flogged Setanta at the gabba...10 big ones!!

 

[Monkey King]

After he had a day out on Carlos, Brown made the comment something along the lines of wouldn't like to be playing on him in a few years time.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Replace Setanta with Waite, and you're remotely close.

 

[HBF]

Brown has given O'hAilpin a towelling each time they've played on each other.

Take a look at the NAB Cup final from last year. No towelling there.

 

[Juddernaut08]

This guy is really sad. He claims to 'support' Carlton; yet everything he says is bagging the Blues.
Don't pretend mate, troll somewhere else please.

Their is no stopping Brown when he is on fire.

Setanta is coming along fine to be honest. He has the motivation, Skills, Strength and time to improve. Personally i think by about 2009-2010 onwards he will be very very good.

 

[iRemember87]

Replace Setanta with Waite, and you're remotely close.

I thought it was a combo act.

Jonathon Brown is an excellent judge of a tall defender...he rates Presti as his toughest opponent

For now at least

 

[Thommo 42]

Jonathon Brown is an excellent judge of a tall defender...he rates Presti as his toughest opponent

is there any evidence of this?

I heard him say that once too, but now I'm trying to proove it to a mate and I can't find it anywhere!
