IF he's coming then its time he came out and said so. Otherwise we're start to look like second choice depending on how other things go. Time to pull the frikn trigger already. 

Could not agree more. Need to know now so we can get a trade sorted and cash ready. I personally think it will be a good combo- Weeds and Brown, Jackson and Gawn floating in forward line. Get Milkshake, Petracca and Pickett roaming around and the forward line starts to look right and the ruck has s new complexity!

Red, Blue and Brown!

    You could interpret that as being a last call for bidders to try and leap frog back into contention after being told the house was on the market and above reserve price

    Let it rain goals. We have been bereft of genuine big forwards for way too long

    Terrific news for Demons, will make a significant difference to forward line!

    Add 40-60 goals!

    HUGE get. I don’t think some on here quite realise how important this is.

    For years we’ve had no issues getting it into our forward 50 but conversion has been the issue. This guy is the answer to this massive problem we’ve had.

    The only query was whether he was okay injury wise but our medical team has given him the tick of approval so it’s full steam ahead.

    What a signing he will be, great stuff Dees!

    Great news. Now lets get the trade done for pick 23 and move on quickly.

    This is a huge get for the club. He's the most productive tall forward we've had since Neitz. Even if he doesn't hit 60 goals a season again, he takes pressure off other so Weid is no longer double teamed and creates crumbing opportunities for Kozzy. Helps our forward line in many ways. Welcome Ben!

    No this indeed a huge get.

    Great win for us. This takes enormous pressure off Weid and Jackson.

    All the overly anxious can settle themselves now. Welcome to Melbourne, Ben Brown.

    He's out of contract so we have the power here. Pick 23 should get it done quickly.

    No bending over like we did in 2017 when Lever was out of contract and we still ponied up two first rounders!

    I’m delighted. If we do land that elusive flag we will look back on this moment as pivotal.

    It sounds like Burgess was key to the deal so I would love to get confirmation that he is staying.

    Next on my wish list - Tom Phillips

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
