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’m just disappointed that this wasn’t a haiku

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.

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

Not even for a Million dollars!

Close thread...

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
