Was a sneaky question by Barrett (who I'm pretty sure is a North supporter).  There has been talk that our pick 23 (or 25 or whatever it is) would not be enough.  By asking the question it makes it look like if it is not a first round it should be an early second or something of decent value (i.e. a player worth a first / second round pick)

 

What number does he get? 

Have the Dees had a no. 50 before?

Free numbers as I see it
16, 17, 19, 21, 25 and a bunch around the 40s 

What about 51? one better than the roos :P

Will Mitch Clisby present Ben Brown with his jumper?

Garry Byers, now there's a name for history... I always thought he would be a good solid player... Only five games to his credit and listed for just over a year... I thought he had talent as a ruckman...

Here is a URL which brings back memories of his first game.. Some great players in that team and the Reserves too.

Funny you mentioned him Ohio-I was only thinking about him a couple of weeks ago and wondering hy his career was so short..I still have a clear  picture of him  from Footy Replay (In Black and White of course!)  rucking a boundary throw in near the members wing- and he never seemed to play a game after that.

Hope the AFL haven't told him to shorten his run up and said something like they will call play on so he's a bit "browned off" thinking it might upset his rhythm and affect his goal kicking...

My MFC paranoia tells me that the AFL will see this MFC player having something of his own that he can now use to help us, so will change the rule to our disadvantage.

Oskar Baker has immense potential for such a role. His sense of space mixed with his speed and agility in close are tremendous assets so it is strongly hoped that he is intensively developed by the FD for such functionalities. Game time will be critical.

How did this get onto the Ben Brown thread?   I know their coiffures are similar.  Should we rename the thread ugly hairdo players?


Hoping we get him for our future 2nd round pick. Maybe offer any of Tom or Oscar McDonald, Neal-Bullen, Bedford, Jordan, Nietschke, Chandler, Mitch Brown or Lockhart as steak knives. Though ideally they'd only take one of the first three.

Just to be clear, next years 2nd rounder is a lot more valuable than this years. Would rather get rid of this years 2nd rounder

I suspect we'll be giving this years 2nd rounder along with other picks (Preuss trade etc) to the Bulldogs for Pick 14.

Much better outcome but not sure that will happen

Would be a master stroke by Mahoney and something I don’t think he is capable of pulling off


I’m favouring a likely MFC Future 2021?2nd round for Brown.  Let’s see what happens. Kangas effectively told him to go seek another club then seem to want a 1st round pick. That’s Dodoro like behavior!

That’s a good option.  Definitely should strongly push that.

Why would you prefer that as an option instead of this years diluted 2nd rounder? Doesn’t make any sense

Hogan for 55, just for reference...

Part of me wanted Hogan back. At 55 that is a steal if he plays to his potential.

I think O Baker knows what is expected of him  now.  What he showed us in the few games  late in the season   that the potential is definitely there. He has upside.

I'm fine with keeping Baker on the list, but I'm not fine with relying on him to be our second winger. I also don't think we'll rely on him solely next year.

Really it was Hogan + baggage = 55, just for reference.

agree but it was Hogan at low salary with kickers.... not a bad deal

For GWS it's a much better deal than say Patton or Bennell.

Do we yet have insight into the money and contract length offer?

I don't think he is in our best 22 at the minute and i wasn't about to put him on a pedestal and I don't think his 2 snaps he kicked goals were flukes either although that being his best game  against GWS he played for us.

14 and 15 disposals in his last 2 games against GWS with 2 goals and Essendon.. Held his own.  

He has still a way to go but he has a kick start from the last 3 games   and the way he played them. I watch with interest.

  • 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

    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.
