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.

Might turn into Omac?

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!!!

Sounds good mate.

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

Cheers.

Thanks for the info

Any other news to report? Or nothing solid?

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.

North supporters on Bigfooty demanding our future first rounder or current and future second rounder for Brown.

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 ?)

Couldn’t stand the guy. Bloody love him now.

North demanding compensation for a player they don’t want...

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

Nudge who are  the previous 2 main targets Preuss and Mitch Brown????

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.

May/Langdon.

[Accepting Mediocrity 1,418]

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%.
