I couldn’t agree more HB this has really taken the pressure / stress off a lot of us.

Well done JM and Big Bad Ben Brown for coming to the Dee's.!!!!

 

Huge coup.

This trade excites me more then the May and Lever trades.

Welcome BB.

Brent Crosswell. What a legend but he was more in retirement mode at Melbourne. Shane zantuck I remember well. He got into one the best punch ons I have seen at the footy with Damien Drum of Geelong. Right in front of the smokers stand. Zantuck came off second best as he was covered in blood when it had finished.

 

Gotta say I am genuinely delighted to welcome Ben to the club. He is tall, moves well, leads well has good hands and is a quality set shot. Some of of our guys will need to be retrained on how to kick to a leading forward but this is positive. I hear from good sources that he is a good guy around the club as well, so welcome Ben lets hit up those leads make it work and have this guy as a Demon for life.

Welcome Ben Brown you are in for a feast  The ball  will come in quickly be ready!

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.

Yep, makes no sense.

We seem to be a millennium in front of the other clubs when it comes to trading (upgrading) draft picks.

Thanks Josh - I, for one, am very impressed with your great work.

And go Benny Brown - I’m bloody pumped you’re a Dee.

 

Welcome Benny Brown 4 years of fun and success. Can't wait to see you burn up the G taking marks kicking goals and helping our team become a real challenger.

Hope you are happy at home and with you r footy and set fir a great season.

 

 

Just watched the Ben Brown highlights on the official website.

Fair dinkum, we have just landed an absolute belter here. Possibly better than Jeremy Cameron.

I was a huge fan of the Steven May trade, but this could be even better.

We’re top 4 next year. No excuses.

I’m in a good mood right now.

He may not be the prettiest, but he goes all right.?

Ok so 2021 we really have no excuses. We have a solid backline, a great ruckman and classy midfield and now a reliable forward and not a bad forward line. 

Message to our midfield. Don's stuff around with short kicks or silly handpasses, just kick it in long to Ben. 

Looking forward to seeing what he can do and now this should help weiderman because he won't get the number 1 defender anymore.

Our improvement needs to come from the coaching box more than the list. 

Goody hasn't got it right consistently yet, he is IMO a bottom 4 coach. 

This doesn't mean he can't improve but that is where we take our next leap.

Welcome Big Bustling Benny Brown hopefully your back to your Coleman medal winning potential and kick bags of goals for us and bring that elusive 13th Premiership home.


I can’t imagine any Dees fan being upset about this trade, regardless of his 2020 form (which is difficult to read given the bizarre year) this is an absolute steal for a bloke who has consistently been up there in the Coleman medal race in a team that has been mostly mediocre. 

What Brown will give us is a true focal point to look to when going inside 50, there are players that “demand” the ball when they’re leading and Brown is one of them. 

This is a massive get for us and Josh has pulled off a great little trade period for us. Perhaps I would’ve liked a little more activity on the wing side of things but internally it sounds like they are backing themselves that they have the tools available. 

Big 2021 coming and I look forward to seeing Sideshow Ben kicking bags of goals in the Red and Blue!

That highlight reel on the club’s website is unreal. I’ve seen Benny play on many occasions but I didn’t realise how crafty he can be around the goals.

As the man himself said in his first interview with us, he is not one dimensional. While taking marks on the lead is one of his main strengths, he is also dangerous at ground level and has an inane goal sense.

If he can get back to his brilliant best, which I can’t see any reason why he can’t, then we have got ourselves a genuine star here. Can’t wait to see him don the red and blue in 2021.

If thats the same one they just  put on the AFL website yes it is unreal. 

Where have they been hiding those highlights?     Brown will be amazing.

So we have one of the premier forwards in the present game!

Well down MFC.

Good hands, hard to match up on, works at his craft, kicks straight, loves to lead.

I can see him getting on well with Max. Seems to have similar natures. Not aggressive, though determined and maybe a bit of character. Hopefully fits into our team of comraderie and connection. 

Would love to see some aggro and ruthlessnes, perhaps others can bring that, 

We are looking a tall team, with most of them quite agile.

Bring on the craft,

Go Dees.

To be fair I think the contract side of things are question marks, Tmac is a glaring example.

We couldn’t give away that contract this trade period. You can look at Omac, or no one wanting ANB or AvB as overrating certain players. (I known it is a footy dept collective but the buck stops with Josh).

Missing our on a winger this time is a whiff.

On the incoming side he gets some very interesting and positive deals done (the pick swaps to jump back up the star board in particular) for the Dees, well done Josh. There has been a narrative that “we get bent over” each trade period for a few seasons now which is just ridiculous.

Good lord that is crazy town that we got him in for so little, Geelong desperately wanting Cameron.

I don't think anyone was against picking Brown up, the main point off difference was his value and based on the points getting him for the approx pick 36 is right.  We now hope he can deliver

 

Not since Neitz have we had a big fwd that can kick straight and kick long


287 goals and 139 behinds

2018 he kicked 61 goals and 24 behinds!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
