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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
