Unless I am being told a porky, someone very close to Ben Brown has confirmed he's 100% to Dees. Bombers have offered him big big money, yet he's happy to take less to come to the Dees. Eat a ? bombers ?

Also apparently he played with a floating bone in his knee most of the year which would've been a big part of his performance drop this year. Since his surgery recently, he is ready to roll. 

Very exciting - sounds like he should return to strong form*

*as long as the Dees learn to kick inside 50 and don't bomb it over his head...

The last time statements like this were made on DL ...

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

    I thought the same. Great news even on it's own if true.

    It was very encouraging (and also a huge surprise) to see that Sam Weideman was among our leaders for distance covered this season. 

    He will need to get on the move next season if we get Brown. Can't have both of them playing out of the goal square.

    Which is exactly why i started with the line "Unless I am being told a porky"

    The person is a family member of his, so it's pretty reliable. Until he signs on the dotted line I guess there is always room for a cheeky bombshell to strike. We are Dees supporters though... so I guess none of us would be surprised if we were let down again ?

    I'm disappointed you quoted a colliwobble barracker (clearly not a supporter b/c they pay money)

    I believe that, unless there is a very big u-turn by him or us, Brown will be a Dee next year. 90/10 rating.

    Nah.... 9 times out of 10, given the present situation, a deal would get done. So, 90% confidence.

    Nothings a given until he's signed on the bottom line but love the mail and looking promising, cheers for sharing ?

    Jeffy Garlett - I didn’t dislike him at Carlton, but I loved him in the red and the blue.

    Jordan Lewis, Byron Pickett and Gary Moorcroft come to mind.

    Bernie Vince is possibly my favourite ever Demon.

     

    The jumper didn't save this bloke.

    Agree on Bernie - legend!

    I’d like Weideman to do all sorts of things, perhaps with another club! I’m doubting our investment in him will pay off. FWIW I would retain Tom while trying to get Brown . The Weid would be very tradeable 

    Ok then.

    And I'm glad you aren't our list manager

    Even if Brown wanted a little more re EFC offer @cooko, I say take the risk and postpone any list re-signing complications for another year and see how we go with an actual KPF. They'll be taking unders to keep the squad together if we're winning finals next year and members are signing up. If we miss out on BB, finish where we are now again or worse, then even a mega deal allowed by smart cap allocation will be turned down by Oliver for success elsewhere.

    Is it actually confirmed that Essendon have made an offer to BB or is it demonland confirmed?

    We need to take it on now. Like those old cats, we need to grab our chance. Trac,Clarry,Maxy,May,Langers & JV can get it done. Get a few gaps fixed and a coach with some balls to bring it home. We’re not waiting around and seeing everyone else improve their list. If your not getting better, you’ve already gone backwards.

    At 200 cm I imagine doing sudden u-turns isn't his forte

    Hope so, can deals get done over the weekend, or is just during the week?

    Time is rolling; this matter of attention (Brown's recruitment to the Dees) is desiccating in a mire of uncertainties. Time for the MFC to get that contract underweigh and onto the past history page so we all can move on. An announcement, please, with the utmost focus and timeliness.

    It's done. Dee's just working out how to structure salary which will depend on Tmac and other ins/outs

    9 out of 10 = 90%

    90 out of 10 = 900%

    Perhaps we need an expert to adjudicate. Do we have a mathematician in the house?

    If 10 people say that they are 90% certain something will happen, does that make it 900% certain to happen?

    if so, I just need to find 9 mates.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
