That's a relief, I thought he was going to that nirvana Ashburton for a moment.

 

Tasmanian version of Peter Siddle.

 

Might I add in addition to how this helps Weid... Imagine the freedom a player like Brown will create for Fritsch.

Very exciting.

agreed. Its going to be a vary tall forward line with Brown Weid and a fast developing Jackson showing he can more than pinch hit up forward. 

We now really need to get in a couple of small runners to help Kozzie apply pressure.

A player who played at the highest level, got the best out of himself, gave his all to the cause and had some really good moments but was very reliable and solid. Nice!!

Ideally we are able to entice another crumbing / pressure forward to come across too.  The we would have a dangerous forward line!

Is it possible to do this, grab an outside winger and keep a top 30 pick?  For essentially Pruess / Hannan / ANB / TMac

 

The piece we were missing in the players puzzle.

Yze is the Clarkson protoge we were missing in the coaches box

2021 is our year.

Reasonably pleased to hear Ben Brown wishes to join the Demons. A bit of positive news!

Let's hope Darren Burgess can get him fit and firing with a good pre-season under his belt.

It will be interesting if he wishes to keep number 50 and wear that at the Demons? I am not against that possibiliity if Ben wants to keep wearing that number even if it is quite a high one. Have the Demons had many players wear number 50? ?


Tie up Jackson and Ollie and Goody might get another year after 2021 yet......

I reckon with a good pre season as well you could be right ?

I’m really happy about this. You have to have a plan to beat the guy. No disrespect to Mitch Brown but he’s not exactly keeping the opposition defence coach up at night. He will definitely make us harder to defend against - which opens the doors for others.

On ya Ben. Can’t wait to yell out ‘Bennnnnnyyyyyy!’ at the G for the next 5 years.

Ben  Brown   likes Melbourne it reminds him of North. Only now it will be Melbourne. Staying close to home.

I won't mind your run up when you have a shot for goal.    I think i will start to like it now.

A good fit for the DEES!

 

As with most of you very happy with this news and he can only improve us IF FIT. Now for TMac. If he does not get picked up I'd keep and play CHB, May FB and Lever to float as he does best. Lever is not a key position player so Tom back and also fit will, in my opinion make us even stronger.

The Clock!

Haha..yes!

I like the name Sideshow, but I wonder what North supporters called him? And Brown's response?

Goodbye jako13 - it's been a wonderful 12 years as my name on here.

 

Aaaaand a huge welcome to Sideshow Bob :lol:

 

 

With all the other moves going on right now, I feel like this one will slip under the radar a little, but will make us a much better side in the process.  I like that we went about this quietly and did our due diligence.

As others have said, Brown is a proven goalkicker who will add a different element to our forward line.  Weid can play tall and I'm excited at the prospect of Jackson floating across half forward.  The big fella will almost be a roaming type player who can pluck marks, do some dirty work at ground level and give big Max a chop out in the ruck.

If we get him over for this years second rounder then we've come out of this very, very well.

They called him Sideshow Bob


The impact of this acquisition could be huge.

Not many clubs will be able to nullify all of Brown, Weid and Jackson in any one game.

Jackson will likely play up the ground which will probably suit him. This means Fritta will get 3rd or 4th defender, and, if Yze can assist his goal kicking, he could have a massive year. 

Throw in a little stint forward for Petracca...WOW...that could be enough to send cheese platters crashing to the ground off the excited laps of many.

Desperately need another small to compliment the talls. Brown, Weid, Jackson, Pickett are a few great pieces of the puzzle, Tracc resting forward with another Pickett type acquisition will make us a lot more dangerous. 

 

We're definitely making finals next year if he kicks 60 goals.

And his set shot routine automatically allows our forwards time to reset to lock the ball in forward 50.

Loving this signing. Welcome to the club Bluey/Brownie.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
