Nah, back in a top end draft pick to kick it into the 50 in a manner that's different to a mongrel punt.

I agree. Make it easier for the opposition to mark it on their chest.

    Damn you ET. Very funny. And possibly very true.

    Surprised this post cracked 6 pages. Why ponder something that will never happen. Well, actually, it might happen in 8 years after Brown has played in a flag and is looking for Super.

    I would move heaven and earth to get a bloke like him. 

    Last night we had 55 inside 50s to 45. Why did that statistic result in a 53 point defeat when usually it means a 53 point win?

    We have the worst forward line in the comp and the worst since inside 50 and conversion rates have been recorded.

    TMac is iffy, Weideman has shown bupkis. It's been a horror show.

    We must throw the kitchen sink and internal pipe fitting at Ben Brown to come to the  Melbourne Football Club. Pick 3 will get a rebuilding North interested.

    We won't be having a shot at Rowell or Anderson as Gill will be giving them the PP necessary to ensure they have picks 1 and 2 in October.

    Get radical and get Ben Brown or miss finals again in 2020.

    The club will implode if we have another year like this one, good players will walk and Goodwin will be clearing out his desk by round 12.

    Get real people.

    I've always thought of Ben in the same terms as a Labrador.

    How would you get a Lab to leave your neighbour's house and come stay with you?

    That would have to be our recruiters' mindset if we have any chance of getting it done.

    Extra dog-biscuits won't help, nor offering a lot of money to the owner.

    We would have to manipulate a scenario where Benny feels abused or underappreciated.

    I would go with a fake Ziebell twitter-post mocking Ben's rather puli hair.

    If Brown was to come to us, i'd be gravely concerned with his level of intelligence.

    Exacty. this thread is totally [censored] absurd. Anyone thats been paying attention to footy in the last 10 years knows that Ben brown is a proud Tasmanian man that plays for a club that has an academy region with Tasmania that plays home games there. This is one of the most unlikely trade moves that could ever occur given these circumstances. The only chance he leaves is as a Tasmanian teams marquee player.

    How many first rounders do we want to waste?  2 for Lever in a super draft who was always gettable with 1.  1 for May who is 28 round 1.  Now 1 for Brown.

     

     

    And the simpletons then ask , “Where are our rising stars?”.

     

    In a hole MFC?  Keep digging.

    Totally agree. Better off going to draft (although we have a shocking recruitment team) and planning a tilt in 3-4 years. Clean out the list completely

    I'd pass on Ben Brown. While he provides a target and kicks lots of goals he looks a bit silly, does long run ups and lacks drinking prowess. We don't need such attributes in a marque player.

    Close the thread he is going nowhere. North would disintegrate if he left.

    Haha... There is no way he would leave North to go to Melbourne.

    Not even for a Million dollars!

    Our first pick in the ‘super draft’ would have been pick 16. Calm ya farm.

    Outstanding game today against us.

    2 goals, well held by Frost.

    Get Frost's signature!

    Spot on Moons, can't believe he hasn't been signed up yet. If he goes and OMac stays I might just go spare.

    Who would have thought 12 months ago that this would be occurring.  What a fall from grace.

    It's been great.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
