exactly. unless his form was related to injury as in tmac.

Absolutely we cannot recruit a long term injured key Forward 

It’s time the midfield and other forwards learnt to kick properly.

Brown can only mark and kick goals on a lead?

Can we kick properly to a goal kicking target?

The question is why was he so pizz poor this season? Injury? Norf gameplan? Finished as a player? Confidence?

He's a 200 cm leading forward that has the runs on the board. Worth pursuing.

He had a pretty tragic circumstance in his family and I think this took a huge mental toll on his well being especially being locked away on a hub.

Glad he's seeking a fresh start.

From our end its definitely worth asking the question? Read some crazy stat that hes kicked 60 plus goals 3 years in a row... amazing.

60 Goals, 3 years running

When did we last have that Target

It only took rookie coach Rhyce Neeld...um Shaw one season to ruin his career.

Definitely an upgrade on Tmac. 
 

We need to go very hard at BB.

Yeah who knows what happened over there

I think he’s a very good option. Strong mark and an accurate kick. And he’s still only 27. I think he’s worth a second rounder. Not sure how much coin he’d demand but if we can move Tmac on then he would be a definite upgrade.

I agree with the comments here that anyone who can kick 60+ goals 3 years in a row (??!!) is obviously worth pursuing, but if that's really the case, why would North be so keen to give him up? North didn't kick many goals this year, so I would have thought he might be useful to have around next year?

So, what's happened then?

Injury?

Drama?

Finished?

We don't need any of those things, as we have enough of each, but if we can do our DD and his body/heart are still up for the job, it might be worth a punt if we can turf TMac - can't be worse, if fit and good to go.

Hitting leads on the chest, or hell, even directing the ball anywhere near him is another question altogether...

I'd be wary:

Shaw believes Brown's lead-up play is not suited to his preferred game style, which in many ways mirrors that of his former club Sydney – slower, considered ball movement that prioritises contested possession.

So not sure he would fit our game plan, either.  He needs space to run into and ops are learning to shut down space.

It seems he turned down a three-year contract at the start of 2020 worth upwards of $750,000 per season.  May be regretting that now.

I'd ask the question for sure.  You don't lose your ability overnight, just your confidence.  Shaw is a terrible coach and many North players are shadows of what they were under Scott. Anyone averaging better than 2 goals a game over a reasonable length of time can certainly play the game.  If he could give us 40 goals a season he'd be twice as good as anything we currently have.

The 27-year-old's management has been actively shopping his services to clubs including Essendon, Collingwood, Melbourne, Hawthorn, Gold Coast and Brisbane. 

"Opposition clubs believe Brown's value on the open market could net the Roos a second-round pick."

How's BB worth a second rounder when Daniher (last year) was deemed to be worth multiple picks, madness.

Well he’s in luck Lucifer as we don’t have a game plan. 
 

He will fit in perfectly.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
