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..?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
