    Just saw this on YouTube. I really think we have some fine human beings at our club, BBB being one of them. Great cause to support.

    It's great to see he's received about $7k in donations already 😊

    I recall starting a thread of "players that need to get a hair cut" when BBB was at North, with him as one of the main culprits, so perhaps he's another that secretly reads Demonland.

    First Hunt leaves, Lingers shaves the locks, now BBB.  Who else do we need to address to conform the the MFC/MCC short back and sides mold?  Perhaps if Kossie gets in on the act, we'll know that a signature on an extended contract with the red and blue is on the cards!

    In all seriousness, good on Ben.  Great cause and let's get behind it and him.  His potential contribution to the senior side for this year has been downplayed by many, but I can sense a 60+ goal season from the man they call BIG BENNY BROWN!!

    Unfortunately we've picked up a couple in the off season. Grundy and Oliver

    But 193cm won't be tall enough to play key forward. We'll have to trial him on the wing now.

    Such a great person Ben, saw him at the VFL GF struggling his way up the stairs to the seats with his wife and kids but he was still greeting fans and didn't seem put out at all. Support this cause if you can!

    This could be posted in the training Feb1 thread as it’s another example of poor communication between the Club and fans.

    The announcement by the media of BBB shaving his head at our Family Day is largely how many fans discovered Family Day was even happening this year. Yes, it was highlighted on the MFC website but other than that the Club has been remiss in ensuring as many people are aware of it thus effecting a huge turnout.

    The moment Ben publicly announced his head shaving was to be done at Family Day we had to double our sausage order. True story. This is by far and away the DeeArmy’s biggest fund-raising event of the year (a portion of our proceeds will be going to support Challenge Cancer) and so the more exposure, the more funds raised.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
