Brown will kick 130 goals for us next season. Bookmark it. 

Closer to 150 if we fixed our forward entries into the 50!!! ?

 

So it would appear that we need to clear Tom McDonalds contract in order to get Brown? If that is the case, and now GWS showing interest in Jesse Hogan, it seems that Ben Brown to Dees is not going to happen. Which probably means he will end up at Essendon

ADD PETTY also !!!

Yes I think Harrison could be our forgotten man. Will have had this year to grow into his 198cm frame. We know he has good hands and can kick and goes into next season as a 21y.o.
Between Ben Brown (hopefully), Weid, Luke Jackson, Mitch Brown and Petty we should not short of quality tall forward options. 

Just need him to nominate us, and I'll be happy!

I wonder all the other teams that need a tall fwd aren't showing interest.  It is not as if he will be expensive either as a trade or sal package.

There can be a lot of reasons.  Sometimes managers wont talk to clubs and the clubs get the idea pretty quickly...

Sometimes there are also other reasons.

Id say our need is much higher than other teams and probably is reflected in the contract/package we offer relatively. Most of the top teams are set for key forwards. Most of the middle teams need to bolster their midfields as a greater priority or chasing cheaper targets. And the lower ones need to rebuild through drafts.   I think hes kinda fallen in our lap if it gets done. Fingers crossed

Based on that looks like Burgess is staying put which is hopefully right.

If Brown kicks 50, a fit Weid will snag 40 and Jacko 25. Not to mention the small guys scouting around for crumbs. The flag is ours!

Sorry, got ahead of myself....

The thing about this is it’s actually a chance of happening, so we are already better placed than 2020.

You can say what you like about Browns image, his run up or his flopping for free kicks, but he knows how to do the very thing our side can’t, kick goals.

 

Brown would be bananas if he didn’t come to us. Golden midfield, MCG, likely finalists, good crumbers. My guy at the club said they don’t know anymore than the rest of us. Could still stay at north was his last sentence

Saw this. Don't know how credible the guy is though, so I didn't mention it.

Also, if he is correct, well done, as no one has reported anything like this since and he's gotten it way ahead of everyone else.

I think he's been working a bit with FoxFooty, did their trade blog today as well, so must be at least not bad?

Possibly. His tweet was just before the stories started to break I think.

He also has connections to Bombers (most of his stuff is very Essendon friendly), so can believe that the Bombers perspective is that he's coming to us.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
