Are we merging with North? Only explanation for this deal.

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

You forgot PEDDDDOOOO!!

Jarrott?

 

Remind me again. Why were the club trying to push Mahoney out the door? I'm not sure how he goes the other 51 weeks of the year but his work during trade week has been faultless.

Yes there is another one but he is not in the class of Icke or Wilson.

Definately a quality forward and the highlights show he is more than a player who leads and marks the ball but a contested beast.

Not to mention Alan Jarrott, Shane Zantuck (via South Melb), Brent Crosswell and to a far lesser extent Xavier Tanner.

[censored] Josh Mahoney! We've been bent over again! Why didn't this deal get done three weeks ago? 

Yes reading all those apology posts is amazing.

Memories are short, next season the same naysayers will repeat their doubts

 

How good does the MFC polo look? Impressive young man is Ben. Look forward to watching him run around in the red and blue. 

While I was hoping we'd land some outside speed and class, I'm stoked to land BBB - especially when prior to the trade period I would have thought he would be worth at least a first round pick.

 

I think having a proven goal kicker at the club will be enormous - great for the development of Weid and Jacko and will be good practice for our defenders who increasingly have to deal with forwards of around 200cm.

Not to mention Slug Jordan and Gags Gallagher that followed him. 

So who's moaning and groaning about getting BB into the MFC?

Not me. He's exactly what is needed for the next few years. 

Straightens up our forward line immediately. 

Let chaos reign on either side.

Did we get Martin Pike from North or was it the other way around?

I think he was at Fitzroy, then Melbourne, then North and then Brisbane.

Melbourne then Fitzroy, then North......

I'd like to say Martin Pike was a "journeyman" but that doesn't seem the right descriptor for a 4x Premiership player.

So happy to see BB officiously get to the Dees.

Like most of us, waiting all week

 

Got the deal done and nailed it. Hopefully the worst is behind him and he kicks his bags again.
