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

    You forgot PEDDDDOOOO!!

    Remind me again. Why were the club trying to push Mahoney out the door? I'm not sure how he goes the other 51 weeks of the year but his work during trade week has been faultless.

    Yes there is another one but he is not in the class of Icke or Wilson.

    Definately a quality forward and the highlights show he is more than a player who leads and marks the ball but a contested beast.

    Not to mention Alan Jarrott, Shane Zantuck (via South Melb), Brent Crosswell and to a far lesser extent Xavier Tanner.

    [censored] Josh Mahoney! We've been bent over again! Why didn't this deal get done three weeks ago? 

    Yes reading all those apology posts is amazing.

    Memories are short, next season the same naysayers will repeat their doubts

    How good does the MFC polo look? Impressive young man is Ben. Look forward to watching him run around in the red and blue.

    While I was hoping we'd land some outside speed and class, I'm stoked to land BBB - especially when prior to the trade period I would have thought he would be worth at least a first round pick.

     

    I think having a proven goal kicker at the club will be enormous - great for the development of Weid and Jacko and will be good practice for our defenders who increasingly have to deal with forwards of around 200cm.

    So who's moaning and groaning about getting BB into the MFC?

    Not me. He's exactly what is needed for the next few years. 

    Straightens up our forward line immediately. 

    Let chaos reign on either side.

    I think he was at Fitzroy, then Melbourne, then North and then Brisbane.

    Got the deal done and nailed it. Hopefully the worst is behind him and he kicks his bags again.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
