Nah, back in a top end draft pick to kick it into the 50 in a manner that's different to a mongrel punt.

I agree. Make it easier for the opposition to mark it on their chest.

    Damn you ET. Very funny. And possibly very true.

    Surprised this post cracked 6 pages. Why ponder something that will never happen. Well, actually, it might happen in 8 years after Brown has played in a flag and is looking for Super.

    I would move heaven and earth to get a bloke like him. 

    Last night we had 55 inside 50s to 45. Why did that statistic result in a 53 point defeat when usually it means a 53 point win?

    We have the worst forward line in the comp and the worst since inside 50 and conversion rates have been recorded.

    TMac is iffy, Weideman has shown bupkis. It's been a horror show.

    We must throw the kitchen sink and internal pipe fitting at Ben Brown to come to the  Melbourne Football Club. Pick 3 will get a rebuilding North interested.

    We won't be having a shot at Rowell or Anderson as Gill will be giving them the PP necessary to ensure they have picks 1 and 2 in October.

    Get radical and get Ben Brown or miss finals again in 2020.

    The club will implode if we have another year like this one, good players will walk and Goodwin will be clearing out his desk by round 12.

    Get real people.

    I've always thought of Ben in the same terms as a Labrador.

    How would you get a Lab to leave your neighbour's house and come stay with you?

    That would have to be our recruiters' mindset if we have any chance of getting it done.

    Extra dog-biscuits won't help, nor offering a lot of money to the owner.

    We would have to manipulate a scenario where Benny feels abused or underappreciated.

    I would go with a fake Ziebell twitter-post mocking Ben's rather puli hair.

    If Brown was to come to us, i'd be gravely concerned with his level of intelligence.

    Exacty. this thread is totally [censored] absurd. Anyone thats been paying attention to footy in the last 10 years knows that Ben brown is a proud Tasmanian man that plays for a club that has an academy region with Tasmania that plays home games there. This is one of the most unlikely trade moves that could ever occur given these circumstances. The only chance he leaves is as a Tasmanian teams marquee player.

    How many first rounders do we want to waste?  2 for Lever in a super draft who was always gettable with 1.  1 for May who is 28 round 1.  Now 1 for Brown.

     

     

    And the simpletons then ask , “Where are our rising stars?”.

     

    In a hole MFC?  Keep digging.

    Totally agree. Better off going to draft (although we have a shocking recruitment team) and planning a tilt in 3-4 years. Clean out the list completely

    I'd pass on Ben Brown. While he provides a target and kicks lots of goals he looks a bit silly, does long run ups and lacks drinking prowess. We don't need such attributes in a marque player.

    Close the thread he is going nowhere. North would disintegrate if he left.

    Haha... There is no way he would leave North to go to Melbourne.

    Not even for a Million dollars!

    Our first pick in the ‘super draft’ would have been pick 16. Calm ya farm.

    Outstanding game today against us.

    2 goals, well held by Frost.

    Get Frost's signature!

    Spot on Moons, can't believe he hasn't been signed up yet. If he goes and OMac stays I might just go spare.

    Who would have thought 12 months ago that this would be occurring.  What a fall from grace.

    It's been great.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
