And he's leaving...? Is that still happening? Any intel?

He might. He's applied for a job at another club after being demoted.

    Quite pleased to be getting Ben Brown from the Kangaroos. He looks much better in a Demons jumper! ?

    Hope he has an excellent pre-season and gets nice and fit for the 2021!

    We just gotta make sure our midfielders lower their eyes and kick the ball to him on the lead.

    The next question will be if he will continue wearing the number 50 or choose a different number?

    Geelong traded 30 to North for Shaun Higgins.  Let that sink in!

    Geelong pay premiums for anyone aged 30 and over. It's club policy to keep their list as old as possible.

    Unless Essendon are going for this yin/yang thing, I couldn't see Mahoney working with Dodoro.  One gets [censored] done, the other is a pest.

    Essentially we upgraded 26 to 25, 31 to 28, and then got BB & future 4th for 33 & 43. That's well played ??

    When you look at the business we've done over the past few years:

    - Hogan out for May which is turning out to be a huge plus

    - Langdon one of the best pickups in the comp this year for a second rounder

    - Benny Brown basically for Preuss

    - This year's 1st round lucky dip draft for Kozzy

    - Likely 200+ gamer for pick 50-something  (Rivers)

    - Burgo in our fitness dept (worth whatever we paid)

    People often lament on the Lever deal, but I reckon we've come out well and truly in front. Now we just need to put the pieces together.

    So in effect, Brown for Preuss. I think on the face of it that's a fantastic result. 

     Agree great deal for the club

    It's hard for a Dees fan, not to love Mahoney's work at this tome of year! We now have the center-pieces around which we can build a decent forward line.

    Generally speaking, Norf supporters are less than thrilled  ?

    Even if Brown does SFA, watching Norf fans bleed makes this deal worth it.

    Seems maybe he's already in the right place, for us and for him....

    Ah my mistake. Thought it was a bit later than that! Good business none the less!

    From Marc McGowan on Twitter: Roos trade Ben Brown, R2 (28) and Future R4 Selection (63*) = 789 points Dees trade R2 (26), R2 (33) and Future R4 Selection (76*) (currently tied to the Brisbane Lions) = 1292 points Ben Brown = 503 points (pick 36) * Assumes Roos and Lions finish in same spot as 2020

    I reckon BB is worth 2x first rounders. So this a steal, but Norf will bottom out again next year and the next...

    So they will re-build with high draft picks. 

    And they'll love their hew home in Tassie

    Not that it matters much but he also seems like a ripper fella off the field. It takes a very likeable character for me to still like them once they pull on a Norf jumper. Very happy he’s now a Demon.

    Welcome BBB and good luck in red and blue 

    Love to see someone try getting a premiership medallion over that mop of hair ?

    Ex North players to Melbourne. Stephen Icke and Brian Wilson were pretty decent. If Brown comes close to them it will be good.

    Admittedly, it was a highlights 'package', but he took more one grab marks in 4 minutes than Melbourne took all bloody season.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
