Quite pleased to be getting Ben Brown from the Kangaroos. He looks much better in a Demons jumper! ?

Hope he has an excellent pre-season and gets nice and fit for the 2021!

We just gotta make sure our midfielders lower their eyes and kick the ball to him on the lead.

The next question will be if he will continue wearing the number 50 or choose a different number?

Geelong traded 30 to North for Shaun Higgins.  Let that sink in!

Geelong pay premiums for anyone aged 30 and over. It's club policy to keep their list as old as possible.

He might. He's applied for a job at another club after being demoted.

 

Unless Essendon are going for this yin/yang thing, I couldn't see Mahoney working with Dodoro.  One gets [censored] done, the other is a pest.

When you look at the business we've done over the past few years:

- Hogan out for May which is turning out to be a huge plus

- Langdon one of the best pickups in the comp this year for a second rounder

- Benny Brown basically for Preuss

- This year's 1st round lucky dip draft for Kozzy

- Likely 200+ gamer for pick 50-something  (Rivers)

- Burgo in our fitness dept (worth whatever we paid)

People often lament on the Lever deal, but I reckon we've come out well and truly in front. Now we just need to put the pieces together.

It's hard for a Dees fan, not to love Mahoney's work at this tome of year! We now have the center-pieces around which we can build a decent forward line.

Seems maybe he's already in the right place, for us and for him....

From Marc McGowan on Twitter: Roos trade Ben Brown, R2 (28) and Future R4 Selection (63*) = 789 points Dees trade R2 (26), R2 (33) and Future R4 Selection (76*) (currently tied to the Brisbane Lions) = 1292 points Ben Brown = 503 points (pick 36) * Assumes Roos and Lions finish in same spot as 2020

Not that it matters much but he also seems like a ripper fella off the field. It takes a very likeable character for me to still like them once they pull on a Norf jumper. Very happy he’s now a Demon.

Welcome BBB and good luck in red and blue 

Love to see someone try getting a premiership medallion over that mop of hair ?

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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
