I reckon he's an upgrade on the Tim Smith/Cam Pederson role

I don't think so, for me. List clogger, I reckon.

    No.

    He'll be 30 next year. If we want an experience mature tall then I'd rather Josh Walker.

    Bit NQR and, all things considered, has done well with the talent and body that he has.

    Pass for me.

    I agree we could do with one key position player as insurance. Buzza, Walker and now Brown are available. I would definitely rookie Josh Walker if he is available.

    No thanks.

     

    Definite no  

    Must say this is a bit disappointing. He is about the 48th player people have suggested taking and I thought we would get to 50.


    I'll add to the chorus saying Josh Walker is the one mature tall who somewhat interests me. The reality is though I want to see Petty and Weideman given every chance at both ends of the ground, plus I'd like to recruit at least 1 young tall with our 5 remaining spots.

    Totally agree 

    Walker is taller better mark and just as versatile!

    The Age tomorrow is reporting that we are interested in picking up delisted Essendon forward Mitch Brown.

    I don't mind this!

    Although none of our players have started following him on Instagram, so probably not happening ?

    Melbourne have emerged as a potential suitor for delisted Essendon forward Mitch Brown.

    The Bombers declined to offer Brown a new contract for 2020 despite the versatile tall kicking 21 goals from 16 AFL games this year, including a match-winning haul of four away to Adelaide in round 18.

    Industry sources have told The Age that Melbourne have shown interest in recruiting Brown.

    Melbourne show interest in Mitch Brown

    Solid backup at the very least.

    Wouldn't completely disregard Brown as a backup for 1 season at ether end, considering our key position players are quite injury prone...Walker would have been better but is going to North

    Backup for the existing Mitch Brown thread?

    Gee wiz.

     

    Get out stakes in the last at Gawler.

    Always thought he had a good pair of hands and a pretty good kick.

    He could turn out to be an astute pick up

    I had more interest in Walker, the reality is this is a post draft kind of decision. Or even later in the summer.

    I have my reasons for doubting Brown on a no [censored] policy which I'll keep to myself as well as overall talent. But if he's desperate for one last go and we are suddenly in the position where depth matters then I could change my mind.

    Of course...we are looking at him.

    What did you say when he was no.4 or 5 in the Essendon forward line?  Do you remember being concerned about him on the way the G earlier this year?

    I will give him one thing. He is a tad better than the Zac Clarke.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
