Hnmm I am pondering this, he was excellent yesterday from all accounts and 6 goals in a losing team with average delivery makes it a "Brilliant "game. But who would he replace?? Petty played his best game of the season as did Disco, so that leaves a rejig of forwards. Could we be tempted to go tall with Petty, Disco,Rooey, and BBB??? this could mean dropping Chandler, who has been OK, or someone else. I would say Sparrow will be missing so obviously Milkshake is in the 22, anyway would NOT begrudge him a farewell game at all. He has been fantastic for MFC and is a TOP BLOKE as well! Thoughts??

 

Farewells are nice and I'm sure we'll do our best but I want to focus on retaining our stars.

 

Respecting veterans helps retain start, though.

It would seem that Brown has managed to gather a moment of form in the 2s and at any time in the rest of the second half of this season he might have been included on pure merit at this time. Awkwardly it seems the rest of our tall forwards got their act together a bit against Gold Coast on the weekend, so it is hard to push him in without unfairly pushing someone out.

I'd be happy to see him named, even as sub. The guy has been an excellent player, was important to our premiership, has kept his head up around the club despite setbacks, and provided a really healthy human attitude.

On balance, combining sentiment and the fact he played well on the weekend, I say give him a game.

 

I don’t think so. 

He can be honoured another way, at half time for example

We have a game of footy to play and hopefully win and our young tall forwards finally started to click


Would love to see Bbb get a send off game but don’t see it happening unfortunately. A great man off the pitch and a flag winner.  Hopefully he stays involved with the AFLW team for a while but understand he lives on the other side of town 

Ben Brown should run out with the Side on Friday, go through the Banner and then jog around the Boundary 

He certainly deserves a Send off…

  • Demonland changed the title to Does BBB get a "Farewell Game" next week?
 

Don’t think so. There is no hard and fast rule but I don’t think so. Not that it matters nor do I really care either way.

For selection integrity if we were playing finals no as all our tall forwards fired and there isn’t a spot for him….but maybe we should somehow find a spot, even as the sub to honour a retiring premiership player


No way IMO

tell someone who is left out of the team for BBB trying to make their way

His knees are in consultation with him right now…


Love BBB, and up until half way through this year believed we were still a better team when he was in the side. He was such a vital cog in 2021. But send off games are best reserved for ex-Captains, or other more significant players. So unless one of the current tall forwards are injured or being managed, no, to a send off game. Lets acknowledge him is some other way.

 

No

We should let him take a set shot prior to the game.  His run up should give fans plenty of time to express their thanks and appreciation. 

If we give BBB a farewell senior appearance do we do the same for Lachie Hunter who is sitting on 199 games?

I'd rather pick our strongest 23 and bury them.

Lachie Hunter didn't play for Casey on the weekend nor was he there yesterday with the rest of the team it seems?

Has he privately been given the flick already...?

Wasn’t he there?

@WalkingCivilWar was Hunter on the GC?

No idea but not playing yesterday surely puts a line through a call up next week?

Yes I would assume so.

No, he wasn’t. We would’ve seen him at some point throughout proceedings.

I think being unable to get fit to play at Casey most of the year is enough

Luv BBB, Premiership Full Forward 🏆

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
