    The MFC could lose big if Big Ben cuts the locks, imagine the sales of Wigs around the ground and the Demon shop could be a real money spinner.

    On the topic, Brown will announce his choice to join The Demons sometime in next 24hrs. A massive win for the club and the third main target landed in 3 years. This is significant and most have no idea just how much this helps drive the new game plan 

     

    Cannot wait to see big #50 leading hard in 2021!!!

    Just curious, what's your intel on this 'new game plan'?

    Cheers.

    I'm struggling to think of anything less important than how Ben Brown chooses to wear his hair.

    His long run up perhaps

    seems to really offend a lot of posters for some never explained reason.

    Well they’re dreaming. Future 2nd most likely unless we get a 25-30 pick for Pruess or Hannan deals

    Can’t mark contested? 
    Doesn’t pressure?

    I think you’ll find these video rewarding fellow demonlanders (especially throwing Oscar around in 2018 ?)

    If its true hes getting a 5 year deal at 550k per year thats a bargain despite the contract length.

    Turns out to be roughly the same contract he was after at North 4 years @ 750k a year = 3 mil. MFC 5 years @ 550k a year = 2.75 mil, 50k per season less from the impact of covid.

    Looks like the strength of the extra 2 years on lower cash has got Big Ben over the line, very shrewd business by the Dees.

    Worth noting that Jarrad Waite played the best footy of his career when he was the second tall in the forwardline with Brown (despite being in his mid 30's at that point). It cannot be overstated how much this will help Weideman.

    That's probably what he's worth if North didn't play this so badly. They are getting shafted big time. A Coleman medalist in his prime for a second rounder is daylight robbery. Couldn't be happier!

    His mobility/agility is better than I remembered. Some of those snaps where he gathered the loose ground balls were impressive.

    Just received word Brown’s better than a 50/90 chance of coming. 

    50/90 is not good odds IMO

    Care  to elaborate Ad.

    50/90 is a little optimistic in my opinion. I’ve heard it’s closer to 55%.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
