If we get him he won't kick 60 goals a year, but he will be dangerous under the long ball because he's 200cm tall and reasonably strong. That makes our whole forward line work better and requires the opposition play their best defender on him. 

You can build a forward line around that.

Would you do a Angus Brayshaw for Ben Brown straight swap? 

No but would do a Tmac swap deal plus Oscar!

He was not drafted until he was 21, so only 7 years in the system. I would think he has at least 4 years left. Would they offload Polec and Brown for a second round pick? Guess how much salary we are prepared to take on would be a factor?

That would be a super deal but could not see them going for it.Second round pick and a player say T Mac??

Take it and run. Salary swap Polec for T Mac - makes our side better straight away. 

We've seen how our side looks better this year with a few additions (May (for reals this time), Kozzie, Langdon); those two would make our side better, or at worst, Casey better.

Polec is a culture killer. No thanks

How do you know this Moon?

Is it your opinion or have you heard things?

If we did get him he'd probably take the oppositions best full back therefore giving weiderman a free up by having the 2nd or 3rd best defender on him.

Mostly my view DOX. Polec seems to be easily let go by clubs, despite being a decent footballer

It's all a matter of 1 2 and 3rd defenders on Brown  Weid And say Petty or Jacko.

I'm really torn on this one. under Goody we don't play a style that suits him. Brown is more of a lead up forward and we're looking to get it in deep and either mark it or bring it to ground. 

BUT, he'd still take the best defender, encourage the mids to lower their eyes and take a heap of pressure off Sam Weideman 

I’m not sure I could handle a team with so many cartoon lookalikes.  First beavis and butthead, now sideshow Bob?  Need a lie down and a scotch....

Would you consider throwing in Spargo to seal the deal picket?

A Spargo back at Arden Street might tempt Norf. I personally like Spargo myself.

Can we chuck in Goodwin too.

 

Any club in need of an experienced key forward must be looking at Brown. I'd be taking him in a heartbeat if the price is right.

Brown has been a very good player and is probably going to be traded for under value.

But we have invested a lot in Jackson and Weideman and they both need AFL games for development. I am not convinced that a forward line of Brown, Jackson and Weideman can work. Brown and Weideman are basically non chasers/tacklers. We need a third tall who can also apply pressure, because Weideman isn't able to do it.

Interesting also how many people have written off Tom McDonald, but imagine that Brown will miraculously return to form in new colours.

I think TMac's future will be decided by Burgo and the doctors. If they say he can fix his speed and agility issues we'll probably keep him but if those creaking ankles aren't improving then he would be trade bait. 

He would help our free kick for/against differential - gets paid more free kicks than anyone else in the AFL

Not sure I could ever like the 50 metre run up when he kicks for goal - so ridiculous

Lazy and doesn't apply pressure 

A few more goals from our key forwards - that would be good

So torn of this one

Now you're just winding picket up into a lather, Uncle! 

Brown, Mihocek and Jackson/Weid.. with a combo of Kosi and Spargo/Hunt crumbing..?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
