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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
