Excellent post exactly my thoughts on Jackson, we won't be so predictable always going to max out of defense and once at the wing still have tall targets inside 50 to kick to. Could be a real weapon for us having Jackson, Brown Weed, and Maxy as marking targets all over the ground 

This.

And just having the name Brown in that list adds a sense of focus we haven't had since Hogan left. Then add in May, Lever Tomlinson and it appears we have a spine, and one with flexibility and power, and upside.

I reckon by the end of next year with another year of development, he’ll fly by many. I also believe he will overtake Weid before 2022.

He is one quick learner Jacko and as keen as mustard and oh so competitive.

He will do ruck forward and mid next season and have a good season going all of that .

But we already have the name Brown on our list.

Don’t forget it was not until a couple of years ago that he fully concentrated on football. He has a ton of development in him.

Might have to call one of them "Blue", just to avoid any confusion...

 

(I was gonna suggest "Green".  But, a Brown called Green has the political overtones of that former Green called Brown...!)

RE: Brown. the market is very slim. the Saints think they're out of the race. Bombers have another target key forward, which on their part i think is a better decision for them. 

We're as good a fit for Brown as he is for us. the guy is an incredible player and Sam Weideman and Luke Jackson are going to learn a lot from him in terms of forward craft.

Freo's the one that's been mentioned. I think Essendon will look to get younger talls in.

Collingwood probably have to keep both Mihocek and DeGoey (and Daicos, Moore etc).

If Sydney lose Aliir then all of a sudden McCartin is looking far more likely down back, Blakey looks more like a mid/forward and they are going in to a season when they've done a lot of heavy lifting rebuilding with only Reid and the ghost of Buddy.

 

peppies look set to get 2 metre peter, while the swans are after hogan (allegedly)

I think Polec is more damaging with ball in hand.  

Personally id  take either Polec or Phillips..... I'm easily pleased but either of those blokes would be handy at our club.

The Weid's going learn so much he might even write a paper on the prevailing breeze at Casey fields.

I'd be happy with that length assuming the medicos are happy with his body.

If it's five as LH posted I'd start to have some concern

 

 I'd be happy for ONE super season that's leads to a...... well I can't say it.

I don’t know why you’re getting so cut up about Brown possibly coming to us. 
 

If Tmac goes and we get another year of development into Jackson then Weideman and Brown can easily be the two main talls.

Brown could stay at North as per his manager on Sport 927 today.

Ben Brown is willing to listen if North Melbourne gives him a call.

Brown’s manager Adam Ramanauskas said there was still a chance they key forward could line up for the Kangaroos next year.

“If North Melbourne were to make the phone call, everything has to be considered. But at the moment there’s no phone call being made,” he told the Breakfast Club.

Yesterday North Melbourne announced that senior coach Rhyce Shaw had mutually agreed to part ways with the club and there is a possibility whoever takes the reigns wants Brown to stay.

“I’m sure Ben, being the person that he is, would be happy to listen.

Shut up Adam!!!! 

The fact his own club hasn’t bothered to make a phone call until now, says to me they don’t really want him there.

Sounds like he is posturing and wanting either more money or a longer contract from us.

Sounds like a last ditch effort to drive up his price to me...

Definitely about his contract. the big thing that's hurting him at the moment is we have no serious competition for his signature. 

Appears to me to be an attempt to make sure the marketplace knows that Brown leaving is a lot more to do with NM than him.

You think they would have learnt from their contract negotiations With NM. 

Cant say I like this approach but I suppose it’s part of the bs.

This was actually last week that this article came out. I was even listening to this on radio. 

This didn't come out yesterday as you have noted.

    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
