Based on previous years, we about to enter the time of year when every delisted player becomes a potential Docker's recruit. Ben Brown is simply the first of many that will pop up on Dockerland as a potential good fit.
Let's just cut to the chase and say that anyone whose names shows up at

(i) been seen looking at online Coburn/Cottesloe/North Fremantle realestate ads
(ii) has enrolled their kids at a Peth school
(iii) has been seen sipping a latte with Peter Bell

(vi) has a good relationship with JL from his days at WCE/Collingwood/Koorda,
(vii) his girlfriend wants to start up a fashion label in WA,
(viii) his girlfriend is pregnant/home sick/secretively in love with Nat Fyfe
or
(viii) this year's trending gossip starters:
