Brown will kick 130 goals for us next season. Bookmark it. 

Closer to 150 if we fixed our forward entries into the 50!!! ?

 

So it would appear that we need to clear Tom McDonalds contract in order to get Brown? If that is the case, and now GWS showing interest in Jesse Hogan, it seems that Ben Brown to Dees is not going to happen. Which probably means he will end up at Essendon

ADD PETTY also !!!

Yes I think Harrison could be our forgotten man. Will have had this year to grow into his 198cm frame. We know he has good hands and can kick and goes into next season as a 21y.o.
Between Ben Brown (hopefully), Weid, Luke Jackson, Mitch Brown and Petty we should not short of quality tall forward options.

I wonder all the other teams that need a tall fwd aren't showing interest.  It is not as if he will be expensive either as a trade or sal package.

There can be a lot of reasons.  Sometimes managers wont talk to clubs and the clubs get the idea pretty quickly...

Sometimes there are also other reasons.

Id say our need is much higher than other teams and probably is reflected in the contract/package we offer relatively. Most of the top teams are set for key forwards. Most of the middle teams need to bolster their midfields as a greater priority or chasing cheaper targets. And the lower ones need to rebuild through drafts.   I think hes kinda fallen in our lap if it gets done. Fingers crossed

Based on that looks like Burgess is staying put which is hopefully right.

If Brown kicks 50, a fit Weid will snag 40 and Jacko 25. Not to mention the small guys scouting around for crumbs. The flag is ours!

Sorry, got ahead of myself....

The thing about this is it’s actually a chance of happening, so we are already better placed than 2020.

You can say what you like about Browns image, his run up or his flopping for free kicks, but he knows how to do the very thing our side can’t, kick goals.

 

Brown would be bananas if he didn’t come to us. Golden midfield, MCG, likely finalists, good crumbers. My guy at the club said they don’t know anymore than the rest of us. Could still stay at north was his last sentence

Saw this. Don't know how credible the guy is though, so I didn't mention it.

Also, if he is correct, well done, as no one has reported anything like this since and he's gotten it way ahead of everyone else.

I think he's been working a bit with FoxFooty, did their trade blog today as well, so must be at least not bad?

Possibly. His tweet was just before the stories started to break I think.

He also has connections to Bombers (most of his stuff is very Essendon friendly), so can believe that the Bombers perspective is that he's coming to us.

  • 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.

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
