In defending Melbourne's tactics, in particular, Bailey's decision to guard the 173cm Nathan Brown with the 200cm Paul Johnson, he said the following words:
Given that our number 1 defender had left the ground with concussion, and with Nathan Brown on the sidelines, who the f**k else did he expect us to play on the man mountain J. Brown.
For the record there is only 1cm and 1 kilo difference beetween the 2 Brown's.
Could Vlad be alluding to the gulf in talent and ability and if so it borders on offensive and childish?
Or is it an extreme example of clutching at straws?
Or could he simply have NFI?
Demetriou defended a number of the moves made by coach Dean Bailey and his team before and during the game to The Age, including Paul Johnson lining up for much of the second half on Nathan Brown.
‘‘Leigh Brown played on Jonathan Brown the previous night. No one made a big deal out of that. Was that tanking?’’ he said.
