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

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
