WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN

in Melbourne Demons

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

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

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
