Coming to Melbourne after seven years as a leading goal kicker at North Melbourne, Brown was well known for his unique, extremely long run up on set shots for goal. After some early setbacks injury wise settled into the full forward position in time to play a big role in the 2021 premiership win with three goals. Unfortunately, the remainder of his time at the club was hampered by injury including the need to undergo knee surgery. He retired from playing football at the end of the season after 45 games and 73 goals but remains at the club in a coaching role with the AFLW team.

A great footballer, so glad that he came to us when he did, will always be remembered as a Premiership Hero of MFC. Hope that he stays with our AFLW team.

That goal against Port Adelaide was an absolute cracker….

 

So proud that this guy spent time at our club.

You could tell that his mind and desire was as sharp as ever but the body just wouldn't allow him to do what a needed to. This was really evident in the seasons following the flag where he would have ripping pre seasons and first few games but then tail off once the wear and tear kicked in. Wasn't through a lack of trying.

Never forget 21.

'22 Casey Premiership player (the only player to do both)

All time fantastic human being.

What an amazing contribution (still going) to our club. Proving good guys don't always finish last. 

What a privilege to call him a Dee. 🏆🏆🏆

He had a sneaky really good game that night.

A pity for him (and us) that he couldn't help out our forward line this year.

 

Needed a good corner man to throw in the towel.

Hoping he doesn’t suffer in retirement with the broken body.

His great finals series in 2021 made it all worth it despite his numerous injury setbacks.

@DemonDave has put up the premiership team in the "Casey Demons - offseason 2024/5" thread.

Mitch Brown played in that side, Ben Brown didn't.

Oh, my bad. Still love him, though.

if only he'd been able to play a role late in 2023 and 2024 - he made the world of difference to our side

i don't have any statistical data to back it up, but i 'felt' like we were a 3 goal a game better player when he was able to get through four quarters on a regular basis

so thankful for what he has brought to our club, and was a huge part of the success in 2021

Prime Benny Brown at North Melbourne was one of my favourite players to watch. The best leading forward in the competition and just about unstoppable at his best with decent delivery and those long arms of his.

Will be remembered for a long time I think, and not too many players get that return at the end of their career.

Premiership player as well if you don't mind.

The top line says it all for a long suffering Demon supporter!

The rest is a bonus and exemplifies an obviously great person!

Thank you BBB.
Thanks for the 2nd quarter ice cold set shot goal against the run of play, and the mark and goal in the 3rd of the 21 GF. Thanks for the 60 metre bomb in the 3rd that Trac crumbed and goaled.
Your goal at the start of the last quarter was the greatest feeling I've had as a dees supporter. I knew we were going to be premiers.


Thanks Ben for your great contribution to our premiership 🏆.  You pushed through with a battered body, which then totally failed you the past 2 years.  Enjoy your well earned retirement.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
