Such a click bait title from SEN.  It is just one of them (SOS I think) pontificating about whether North might want a player instead of a pick, and then he threw up Brayshaw as a suggestion (and a dumb one at that).  The title makes it sound like North are actually interested in one of our players when they aren't.

Sorry, sounds like such a small thing to be annoyed about, but I wasted 5 minutes of my life to find that info out.  And I want it back!!

    While this isn’t as show stopping as getting a Jeremy Cameron to the club, it’s going to be just as effective for us. I honestly think with Ben having more games on the weekend wide expanses of the G, the best is yet to come for him. Great pickup!

    the

    hard

    light

    of 

    day

    ... I can't see that a midfielder of ours for Ben Brown would be commensurate... so yeah Clickbait.. but tasty clickbait I guess.. when we're worried that the midfield would get disbanded... when we are finally coming up to the goldlilocks zone...

    And he costs half of what Cameron does.   Both coming off down years.  Their career averages are almost identical

    We have done very well here.

    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. 

    Jack Lonie  ( St Kilda) is the man and will be available!!

    North fans reckon they'll get a minimum of a first round pick for him.

    I love North fans.  They've got no idea.

    We have to develop 'mongrel' now. We have the personnel to win, we need 'mongrel' to get there comprehensively.

    I still can’t believe Norf fans exist. Like I know they do, and each one of them is a [censored], but like why?

    I think North fans better get ready for disappointment, they’ve basically made Brown staying at North impossible and they have only one piece of leverage, saying they’ll let him walk (which in their current situation they really don’t want). 

    They’ve just moved on a lot of players, how are they stocked for defenders? Brown for pick 23 and Oscar perhaps?

    LOL. If I were our no. 9 I'd also be taking out a court injunction to prevent the Deebrief from calling him Spargy Pants.

    Melbourne is confident it can accommodate three talls in the same forward line next year as it attempts to clinch a deal for Ben Brown.

    But the Demons must work hard to re-sign Western Australian Luke Jackson ahead of certain attempts from the two WA clubs to poach him.

    Jackson, 19, is out of contract next year and will be in demand if the Demons cannot secure an extension over summer.

    Coach Simon Goodwin will play Brown, Jackson and Sam Weideman together in the same forward half next season with the club facing a finals-or-bust season.

    It means the Demons will explore Jackson’s versatility as a key-forward ruckman who will support captain Max Gawn in the ruck in 2021.

    But the Demons also have high hopes the former Australian basketballer could play as a big midfielder or wingman in the same vein as Geelong utility Mark Blicavs in his second AFL season.

     

    Oh ffs, they really know how to throw [censored] on a salad. I bet old floggsy Clark $100 that Jackson signs on again to the Dees.

    Surely people get that some posters have their one trick pony schtick (a bit like Ben Brown allegedly) - and we all openly acknowledge this, without ever actually telling the person that we know that their schtick is boring as feck. 

    And that's ok.

    But then every now and again the schtick changes and you realise that said poster *ahem, cough* Ben Brown has more in his armoury than given credit for. And it's a lovely surprise.

    Some posters however... drone on and on and on... best to mute methinks... even if the 'crowd' think they're amusing..... 

    And so linking that back to Ben... it's ok to sledge Ben, over his hair, his run up... but when you're 8 can's deep  at the preliminary final next year, 4 goals up and Ben is managing momentum/time wasting with his run up, or his brush back of his voluptuous hair...(yes I know the clock has stopped)... we can all probably reflect on how, when for north melbourne, for the love of god, who is this [censored]...but now.. .my man, I always knew this would be a great trade so that I, and only I can finally reach the holy grail of a premiership and cry many many many many tears of joy... but then you come back to reality and the G, probably in the ponsford stand if you are from the country like myself... and give yourself a little fist pump and knowing smile, that hey... this Brown bloke, much like some posters on Demonland, can actually surprise you...even though they're as beige as feck.

     

     

    My nipples got hard reading this part...

    I can't wait for Hardwick to tell Grimes, "FFS, pick up Brown". The dumb ba*&@#d runs to Mitch Brown, Ben kicks six and we win by a goal.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
