bobby1554 1,273 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 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 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Ben Brown is the no.1 target. Need to get him. With our forward 50s, he should kick 3-4 per game. Quote

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. 1 Quote

Sometimes there are also other reasons. Quote

It is not as if he will be expensive either as a trade or sal package. 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 Quote

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. 1 Quote
Roost it far 10,097 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 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 Quote
Pickett2Jackson 3,904 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Still haven't got him? Come on whats the hold up! Quote

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. 2 Quote
