Was a sneaky question by Barrett (who I'm pretty sure is a North supporter).  There has been talk that our pick 23 (or 25 or whatever it is) would not be enough.  By asking the question it makes it look like if it is not a first round it should be an early second or something of decent value (i.e. a player worth a first / second round pick)

    What number does he get? 

    Have the Dees had a no. 50 before?

    Free numbers as I see it
    16, 17, 19, 21, 25 and a bunch around the 40s 

    What about 51? one better than the roos :P

    Will Mitch Clisby present Ben Brown with his jumper?

    Garry Byers, now there's a name for history... I always thought he would be a good solid player... Only five games to his credit and listed for just over a year... I thought he had talent as a ruckman...

    Here is a URL which brings back memories of his first game.. Some great players in that team and the Reserves too.

    Funny you mentioned him Ohio-I was only thinking about him a couple of weeks ago and wondering hy his career was so short..I still have a clear  picture of him  from Footy Replay (In Black and White of course!)  rucking a boundary throw in near the members wing- and he never seemed to play a game after that.

    Hope the AFL haven't told him to shorten his run up and said something like they will call play on so he's a bit "browned off" thinking it might upset his rhythm and affect his goal kicking...

    My MFC paranoia tells me that the AFL will see this MFC player having something of his own that he can now use to help us, so will change the rule to our disadvantage.

    Oskar Baker has immense potential for such a role. His sense of space mixed with his speed and agility in close are tremendous assets so it is strongly hoped that he is intensively developed by the FD for such functionalities. Game time will be critical.

    How did this get onto the Ben Brown thread?   I know their coiffures are similar.  Should we rename the thread ugly hairdo players?

    Hoping we get him for our future 2nd round pick. Maybe offer any of Tom or Oscar McDonald, Neal-Bullen, Bedford, Jordan, Nietschke, Chandler, Mitch Brown or Lockhart as steak knives. Though ideally they'd only take one of the first three.

    Just to be clear, next years 2nd rounder is a lot more valuable than this years. Would rather get rid of this years 2nd rounder

    I suspect we'll be giving this years 2nd rounder along with other picks (Preuss trade etc) to the Bulldogs for Pick 14.

    Much better outcome but not sure that will happen

    Would be a master stroke by Mahoney and something I don’t think he is capable of pulling off

    I’m favouring a likely MFC Future 2021?2nd round for Brown.  Let’s see what happens. Kangas effectively told him to go seek another club then seem to want a 1st round pick. That’s Dodoro like behavior!

    That’s a good option.  Definitely should strongly push that.

    Why would you prefer that as an option instead of this years diluted 2nd rounder? Doesn’t make any sense

    Really it was Hogan + baggage = 55, just for reference.

    Part of me wanted Hogan back. At 55 that is a steal if he plays to his potential.

    I think O Baker knows what is expected of him  now.  What he showed us in the few games  late in the season   that the potential is definitely there. He has upside.

    I'm fine with keeping Baker on the list, but I'm not fine with relying on him to be our second winger. I also don't think we'll rely on him solely next year.

    agree but it was Hogan at low salary with kickers.... not a bad deal

    For GWS it's a much better deal than say Patton or Bennell.

    Do we yet have insight into the money and contract length offer?

    I don't think he is in our best 22 at the minute and i wasn't about to put him on a pedestal and I don't think his 2 snaps he kicked goals were flukes either although that being his best game  against GWS he played for us.

    14 and 15 disposals in his last 2 games against GWS with 2 goals and Essendon.. Held his own.  

    He has still a way to go but he has a kick start from the last 3 games   and the way he played them. I watch with interest.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
