I always liked how we looked when Brown was in the side and playing well. He never gave anything other than 100%, even when his body and/or his limitations held him back.

Obviously integral to the flag, for which he will always be a Melbourne immortal. But also should be remembered for being a great person and, I suspect, an under the radar key leader. 

Go well, Ben. 

Made me a very happy man when he put through the first goal of the last in 21. I knew we’d won it then 🔵🔴🏆

 

He has been a great servant of the club, is a wonderful human being and his shave for charity shows the character of the man. 

Sadly I watched him running around Saturday on the live feed. The spirit is willing but the legs can give no more. He got goals on experience and pure goal sense but he couldn't chase once the ball hit the ground. Let him do a lap of honour at halftime. As it is May looks like he will return so there is no room for BBB.


He played a major role in the 21 finals series.  And a great bloke.  Has a big future with our AFLW program I'd imagine. Thanks for everything.

Thanks for everything you have done at Melbourne Ben for the mens and women’s teams All the best for your future and for your family and loved ones. 

Legend bloke and very good player. Thanks for the Flag BBBB

 

Ben enjoy retirement from AFL with your family. Thanks for everything and good luck for your future.


What a career. Forever grateful he came when he did. 

We love you Benny, you're one of the true good guys of the game.

Get on the Club website to see Ben's farewell and Max's contract extension words.

We are lucky to have chosen this Club to support.

Thanks Ben. Loved having you play for the Dees. Legendary Melbourne Premiership 2021 player. Best of luck for the future.

… and in general.

A heart of pure gold. Words can’t adequately describe how special this man is. Examples of this are legion. One of the few people about whom you never hear a bad word spoken, ever. Gonna miss him so much.

On a practical note: I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be fit to be named for Friday night anyways. He didn’t train with the main group today, mainly spent time on the stationary bike. 


Part of some of the best moments in my life which happened in a magical month of footy in September 2021. Lucky enough to be apart of the 2021 Qualifying Final and Grand Final experiences as a member in the crowd.

Totally Awesome BBB, Thank you. 👌🏆🥇🇱🇮❤️💙

Thanks, Ben.  You always stayed true to yourself, which can't be easy in the AFL, and promotoed and worked for your ideals.  Thanks for the Premiership too.

Go well and enjoy your retirement BBB, and the pile-on of deserved love on here. You were a joy to watch running around in the Red and Blue, and we can only hope you’re staying on for the AFLW team. A beacon of great club culture right there, which of course NOBODY in the media will find newsworthy.

Yep, well said.


Thank you BBB, an amazing career across 2 clubs. Importantly, a great human both on and off the field. So glad you got a flag with us ❤️💙 One of my favourite memories came recently against Port when he booted a goal outside 50 and it shut those bogans up in the crowd 😁

He absolutely straightened us up. Forward 50 entry wasn't a problem when he was presenting. 
Wish he was fit for 23+24. 
I don't think we win the 21 flag without him. ❤️💙

Will never forget this moment. The Port fans sitting on either side of us were hurling abuse at him, absolutely vile. That goal felt like it was worth double or even triple the points.

They are a lovely bunch of human beings. Wanted to boot Hinkley a few weeks ago and now love him again.

When I think of ferals I think of them.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
