Kicked his 30 goals for the season but once Tom McDonald was injured, he struggled in the as the sole key forward in the team. It will be interesting to see what role Simon Goodwin has in store for him next year.

 

"The key forward kicked 30 goals in his second season with the Demons, in which he played 19 games. Brown battled knee soreness at times throughout the year, wear and tear issues the club said he would likely have to manage for the rest of his career." Herald Sun

30 very valuable goals from BBB but he was really beat up by the end of year, can he get back on the park, needs help if he does, we have to go hard for another key forward to either help or replace Ben and we need to do it this draft period. Good luck Ben.!!

Still Reckon Benny can give us some excellent football

But he needs help so he can find space 

 

Battered and bruised. Would be nice if we could hit him up on a lead rather than dumping the ball on his head with 3 defenders hanging out of him

IF he can get back to his 2021 form he could be a valuable player

If not he should never play again for the red and blue. His second half of the year was abysmal. He looked like the mechano man running in concrete and his in ability to take a clean grab was devastating.

We clearly need TMac to come back all healed

 


BBB's strength is his lead up marking. which is rarely ever utilised in our "game plan".  He has never been a strong contested marking forward but this was how he was utilised in 2022.

So either the game plan needs to change or he will not fit in, especially if JVR develops quickly, and if TMc returns to fitness.

Was an abject failure in the finals.

1 goal across two games for a player on the meaty contact that’s he’s on, Is diabolical.

I apologise if that’s harsh on a much loved player, but we should be expecting more from our number 1 tall forward. If he was indeed injured then why did Goodwin play him in the two finals?

In fairness he did play some very good games throughout the season and was looking set for a big September after a 3 goal game in round 23.

He was the lone tall forward for half a season and playing injured in a team game. Tried manfully despite all the negatives placed on him, with his own weaknesses and coaching failings. 
 

it’s hard to be a forward with little KPF support in a defensive game plan and poor midfield pressure along with poor skills coming at you. 
 

his contract ain’t that meaty either. Above average

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
