The lion hearted key position forward recently capped off a long career at three AFL clubs with his second VFL Premiership, this time at Casey (his first was with the Cats a decade ago). Led the club’s VFL goal kicking this year and played a valuable role mostly at this level but was also a handy back up in a limited games with Melbourne. Retired at season’s end.

    I could certainly make a case for Mitch going around again in a similar role on a minimal salary given our lack of key forward depth. He has done everything we could have asked from him in that position and at that stage of his career. That said, I'm not surprised he is moving on after an AFL career spanning 14 years. Well done, Mitch.

    I really like Brown

    Old fashioned footballer with a wise head. Sadly he seemed to be stuck between the VFL and AFL talent wise

    The memory for me will be that Rd 5 game last year. Replacement home game so sat on Ponsford bottom level and he really stood up to help us get that win. All the best Mitch!

    Has an amazing ability at VFL level to find space in the forward line to take a relatively easy mark (think Gunston).

    Unfortunately he couldn't bring that skill to AFL level

    Would have had a more prevalent career at the Dees if we didn't have to keep playing Weid whenever their was opportunity in the hope he would find consistent form.

    Love Mitch’s story dual VFL premiership player with 79 AFL games in between. Great height but a bit light on for AFL will be greatly missed at Casey.!!

      The Demons return home to the MCG in search of their first win for the 2025 Premiership season when they take on the Fremantle Dockers on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
