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 🏆

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
