Excellent post exactly my thoughts on Jackson, we won't be so predictable always going to max out of defense and once at the wing still have tall targets inside 50 to kick to. Could be a real weapon for us having Jackson, Brown Weed, and Maxy as marking targets all over the ground 

This.

And just having the name Brown in that list adds a sense of focus we haven't had since Hogan left. Then add in May, Lever Tomlinson and it appears we have a spine, and one with flexibility and power, and upside.

    I reckon by the end of next year with another year of development, he’ll fly by many. I also believe he will overtake Weid before 2022.

    He is one quick learner Jacko and as keen as mustard and oh so competitive.

    He will do ruck forward and mid next season and have a good season going all of that .

    But we already have the name Brown on our list.

    Don’t forget it was not until a couple of years ago that he fully concentrated on football. He has a ton of development in him.

    Might have to call one of them "Blue", just to avoid any confusion...

     

    (I was gonna suggest "Green".  But, a Brown called Green has the political overtones of that former Green called Brown...!)

    RE: Brown. the market is very slim. the Saints think they're out of the race. Bombers have another target key forward, which on their part i think is a better decision for them. 

    We're as good a fit for Brown as he is for us. the guy is an incredible player and Sam Weideman and Luke Jackson are going to learn a lot from him in terms of forward craft.

    Freo's the one that's been mentioned. I think Essendon will look to get younger talls in.

    Collingwood probably have to keep both Mihocek and DeGoey (and Daicos, Moore etc).

    If Sydney lose Aliir then all of a sudden McCartin is looking far more likely down back, Blakey looks more like a mid/forward and they are going in to a season when they've done a lot of heavy lifting rebuilding with only Reid and the ghost of Buddy.

     

    peppies look set to get 2 metre peter, while the swans are after hogan (allegedly)

    I think Polec is more damaging with ball in hand.  

    Personally id  take either Polec or Phillips..... I'm easily pleased but either of those blokes would be handy at our club.

    The Weid's going learn so much he might even write a paper on the prevailing breeze at Casey fields.

    I'd be happy with that length assuming the medicos are happy with his body.

    If it's five as LH posted I'd start to have some concern

     

     I'd be happy for ONE super season that's leads to a...... well I can't say it.

    I don’t know why you’re getting so cut up about Brown possibly coming to us. 
     

    If Tmac goes and we get another year of development into Jackson then Weideman and Brown can easily be the two main talls.

    Brown could stay at North as per his manager on Sport 927 today.

    Ben Brown is willing to listen if North Melbourne gives him a call.

    Brown’s manager Adam Ramanauskas said there was still a chance they key forward could line up for the Kangaroos next year.

    “If North Melbourne were to make the phone call, everything has to be considered. But at the moment there’s no phone call being made,” he told the Breakfast Club.

    Yesterday North Melbourne announced that senior coach Rhyce Shaw had mutually agreed to part ways with the club and there is a possibility whoever takes the reigns wants Brown to stay.

    “I’m sure Ben, being the person that he is, would be happy to listen.

    Shut up Adam!!!! 

    The fact his own club hasn’t bothered to make a phone call until now, says to me they don’t really want him there.

    Sounds like he is posturing and wanting either more money or a longer contract from us.

    Sounds like a last ditch effort to drive up his price to me...

    Definitely about his contract. the big thing that's hurting him at the moment is we have no serious competition for his signature. 

    Appears to me to be an attempt to make sure the marketplace knows that Brown leaving is a lot more to do with NM than him.

    You think they would have learnt from their contract negotiations With NM. 

    Cant say I like this approach but I suppose it’s part of the bs.

    This was actually last week that this article came out. I was even listening to this on radio. 

    This didn't come out yesterday as you have noted.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
