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.

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.

  • 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.
