Such a click bait title from SEN.  It is just one of them (SOS I think) pontificating about whether North might want a player instead of a pick, and then he threw up Brayshaw as a suggestion (and a dumb one at that).  The title makes it sound like North are actually interested in one of our players when they aren't.

Sorry, sounds like such a small thing to be annoyed about, but I wasted 5 minutes of my life to find that info out.  And I want it back!!

While this isn’t as show stopping as getting a Jeremy Cameron to the club, it’s going to be just as effective for us. I honestly think with Ben having more games on the weekend wide expanses of the G, the best is yet to come for him. Great pickup!

Oh, I didnt even click the down bit on the link... I get it @Wiseblood, i would trawl as well.. 

but

in

the 

cold

hard

light

of 

day

... I can't see that a midfielder of ours for Ben Brown would be commensurate... so yeah Clickbait.. but tasty clickbait I guess.. when we're worried that the midfield would get disbanded... when we are finally coming up to the goldlilocks zone...

And he costs half of what Cameron does.   Both coming off down years.  Their career averages are almost identical

We have done very well here.

Desperately need another small to compliment the talls. Brown, Weid, Jackson, Pickett are a few great pieces of the puzzle, Tracc resting forward with another Pickett type acquisition will make us a lot more dangerous. 

Jack Lonie  ( St Kilda) is the man and will be available!!

[Wiseblood 24,636]

North fans reckon they'll get a minimum of a first round pick for him.

I love North fans.  They've got no idea.

We have to develop 'mongrel' now. We have the personnel to win, we need 'mongrel' to get there comprehensively.

Woo hoo.

Brown is a great addition to our forward line .

Tx Norf.

Well done MFC.

Huge news, great get Dees, can't just sit back and think how good are we.

Need to be more proactive in another couple of trades.

What’s wrong with Milkshake? Geeze. Next you’ll be telling me that Pedo and Fritzl aren’t good nicknames.

I still can’t believe Norf fans exist. Like I know they do, and each one of them is a [censored], but like why?

Reckon Brown for Coleman is worth a few dollars when the betting opens up

Re "...or is a Melbourne midfielder on the Kangaroos' radar?" - I think we came out with the last time North swapped a tall for a mid, so deal away.

[Pates 9,537]

I think North fans better get ready for disappointment, they’ve basically made Brown staying at North impossible and they have only one piece of leverage, saying they’ll let him walk (which in their current situation they really don’t want). 

They’ve just moved on a lot of players, how are they stocked for defenders? Brown for pick 23 and Oscar perhaps?

LOL. If I were our no. 9 I'd also be taking out a court injunction to prevent the Deebrief from calling him Spargy Pants.

This is bloody unreal.

We arguably have the best bookends in the comp now.

Melbourne is confident it can accommodate three talls in the same forward line next year as it attempts to clinch a deal for Ben Brown.

But the Demons must work hard to re-sign Western Australian Luke Jackson ahead of certain attempts from the two WA clubs to poach him.

Jackson, 19, is out of contract next year and will be in demand if the Demons cannot secure an extension over summer.

Coach Simon Goodwin will play Brown, Jackson and Sam Weideman together in the same forward half next season with the club facing a finals-or-bust season.

It means the Demons will explore Jackson’s versatility as a key-forward ruckman who will support captain Max Gawn in the ruck in 2021.

But the Demons also have high hopes the former Australian basketballer could play as a big midfielder or wingman in the same vein as Geelong utility Mark Blicavs in his second AFL season.

 

Oh ffs, they really know how to throw [censored] on a salad. I bet old floggsy Clark $100 that Jackson signs on again to the Dees.

Surely people get that some posters have their one trick pony schtick (a bit like Ben Brown allegedly) - and we all openly acknowledge this, without ever actually telling the person that we know that their schtick is boring as feck. 

And that's ok.

But then every now and again the schtick changes and you realise that said poster *ahem, cough* Ben Brown has more in his armoury than given credit for. And it's a lovely surprise.

Some posters however... drone on and on and on... best to mute methinks... even if the 'crowd' think they're amusing..... 

And so linking that back to Ben... it's ok to sledge Ben, over his hair, his run up... but when you're 8 can's deep  at the preliminary final next year, 4 goals up and Ben is managing momentum/time wasting with his run up, or his brush back of his voluptuous hair...(yes I know the clock has stopped)... we can all probably reflect on how, when for north melbourne, for the love of god, who is this [censored]...but now.. .my man, I always knew this would be a great trade so that I, and only I can finally reach the holy grail of a premiership and cry many many many many tears of joy... but then you come back to reality and the G, probably in the ponsford stand if you are from the country like myself... and give yourself a little fist pump and knowing smile, that hey... this Brown bloke, much like some posters on Demonland, can actually surprise you...even though they're as beige as feck.

 

 

My nipples got hard reading this part...

[Queanbeyan Demon 5,999]

I can't wait for Hardwick to tell Grimes, "FFS, pick up Brown". The dumb ba*&@#d runs to Mitch Brown, Ben kicks six and we win by a goal.
