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.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
