    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.

    I don’t want to get all biblical here, but is there a risk that his power will be lost if he loses his hair?

    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.

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
