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.

    I was being facetious :)

    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

    90/10 isn't 900%  it's 90% - just saying.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
