Essendon are being driven by the critics who have written them off this season, says new recruit Mitch Brown.
Former Geelong swingman Brown, who was given an AFL lifeline by the Bombers in the 2015 AFL draft, says the the critics who expect Essendon to finish on the bottom of the ladder are driving the players.
โObviously the critics are writing us off,โ Brown said on SEN Radio on Monday.
โ(The players) havenโt spoken about it but itโs a thought that everyone has, that no one expects us to do well.
โItโs driving us at the moment.โ
Essendon already shocked some pundits, with their thumping win over Carlton in the NAB Challenge on the weekend, where Brown collected 19 disposals.
