Ordinary player who always seemed to kick 3 or 4 against us

Then again who hasn't

Huh?

In Ben Warren's career he played Melbourne twice for a total of 2 goals - one in each game.

I'd want to know why he only played 3 games in 2011 and 1 game in 2012??

(and it can;t be his broken leg as that was back in r13 2009 according to wiki)

Short answer? ... Because he's crap.

I recall being at the last game of the 2010 season against North, and to me he was a real stand out. I had myself asking who is that bloke and from what I've seen I think he will be a fantastic pick up if we get him for next to nothing.

I know he has struggled to hold his spot in their side and it would be quite hard based on his height in comparison to the range of other tall forwards North have to select (Petrie, Edwards, Tarrant, Hansen (also DEF), Pedersen (also DEF), Goldstein/ McIntosh (1 in RUCK the other in FWD or interchange). But a fresh start and increased opportunity may be exactly what he needs. Needless to say I would welcome him to the dees.

Yep, I know that people get smashed on here for quoting inuendo and rumours, but I have heard that of all the deals we're likely to do, this one is the most certain of the lot... I'm not vindicating the choice on the player, just stating that I have heard that Ben Warren is destined to be a Dee.

I've seen him play some VFL footy and looked okay. If we get him for next to nothing or maybe packaged up with Ben Mckinley (who i rate) could send back maybe a 3/4 round pick. wouldnt offer anything more

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
