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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
