Both Channel 9 and 7 News had Dean Bailey confirming what WJ says - that he has no interest in recruiting Brown and that the club will be using its early draft picks on young players.

    Clearly, McNamee was utterly unfamiliar with football, out of his depth, and thought it was all about getting star players to get bums on seats - a la Agassi, Federer and Graf at the Hopman Cup or Australian Open. We are well rid of him.

    The way his departure was done could have been better but then again, dismissing any CEO, especially a big name, was going to cop flak. Well done for having bitten the bullet.

    Wow. Jimmy is not letting anything get in his way. I love it.

    Jimmy was right to do this.

    Brown's body is in decline from all the bash and crash.

    They were however right to pursue Judd last year. He is 24 and a superstar. Unfortunately he chose Carlton.

    There might be some other superstar in 2-3 years time for us to have a shot at.

    Brown's manager has said there was a 5 minute conversation, and Brown himself said he knew nothing of it. Brown's manager also said that they are dealing exclusively with Brisbane, which Brown himself confirmed.

    Sounds like PMacs approach was the same as you would for building the Hopman Cup, get big names as draw cards to increase the prestige of the event.

    It's got as much credit as someone who lives on the Gold Coast putting a call into Nick Reiwoldt's manager and the story the next day being that Reiwoldt is moving home.

    Ridiculous.

    why would Brown want to come to MFC anyhow.... I mean I love the club but I can't imagine we could sell it to him.... had same problems trying to convince Judd.

    Pavlich is the same age as Brown, and is from SA, so he would be an unlikely target IMO.

    Isn't Pavlich a little younger?

    ... the gym wasn't up to scratch perhaps?

    Pavlich is two months younger and has played 40-odd more games than Brown.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
