Truly pathetic. Why don't you take your 'presentation' directly to Tom (at a training night) instead of anonymously slurring him.

It's a joke mate, lighten up

    It is amazing how close the statistics of Cameron and Brown are, except in one area, their trade price.

    If Brown recaptures his best form, we have got an absolute steal. Well done JM and those involved.

    Calm down.

    The only crime @Hogans Demonscommitted was by not being able to put together the meme properly and inserting the text into the panes.

    He seems like a really solid, grounded citizen as well. Dealing with some challenging life experiences has given him a proper perspective on things. He is mentally tough and will deal with the pressure of the move with ease.

    I predict he’ll take to the MGC like a duck to water, clunking marks and slotting goals for fun. I could not be more excited about this trade.

    So, if i’ve read all this right. BB waa injured last year, a floating bone in his knee. He also lost a child and while dealing w that ordeal was stuck in a hub w a coach who was losing more of his [censored]  by the day and a club that was internally imploding. 

    So one way or other,  as the club descended and the emergency grew down there , his massive form loss was perhaps taken personally by coach or those around him. Relationships seem to have been broken and they also obviously must have had some doubts about his capacity to recover physically. All in all a perfect time to buy the BB stock ... at its lowest ebb. But not without a degree of risk..... mitigated in a massive way by having burgess on our side. 

    here’s hoping the arrival of BB lifts us up to the next level . out of the 6-10 range and into 3-6 range. fingers crossed.

    His GF and Paddy Dangers GF pointed out that they are not typical WAGS. As in ,not bimbos who rely on their looks.

    I think it's relevant to raise this piece of information.

    And sincerley hope he can rectify the situation .

    Great postWells 

    Sensitive  and  positive and Like every Dees supporter I can't wait to see Ben strut his stuff with our other forwards on the G in 2021.

    If Bayley and Sam and Jacko plus the rest of the forwards have not started Walking  a foot Taller already I'd be surprised.

    A sort of  Restart to our 2014 journey This time with a final chapter and happy ending in a year or two!!!

    A premier league player in UK quit last week/s citing social media trolling, and the toll it was taking on his life. There are far better ways to lighten up on supporter sites than these kind of personal attacks dressed up as online comedy. If BB proves a disappointment I guess we can expect more of the same.

    I can't believe we took Brown and not Daniher.

    This club can't do anything right.......

    Great pickup on so many levels. 

    North rebuilding and they would rather use his money elsewhere. Fair enough. Devalued his trade value and we were the ones to benefit. Thank you. 

    Spoke very well in the media interviews. Will keep the number 50. Looks good in the red and blue polo.

    Look forward to seeing him in action.

    Watching his highlights, I don't think it will matter if we kick it to him well or not.  He seems to track the ball through the air so well, time his launch and clunk the marks from everywhere, so I think that suits us well.

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

    He wasn't directly from North, but Shaun Smith was a super star and a great contributor for us.

    Very happy to seal the deal with North and Ben Brown and such a good deal at that.

    His unruly mop always gave me the [censored] when we played Nth, but that's probably because he was kicking bags of goals against us.  Now that he's with us, the mop can stay and give our opposition supporters the [censored] - particularly if he's kicking goals!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
