Would we be interested?

Young, strong, promising defender.

I think we could use an additional tall defender. Especially if the belief that Garland should go forward comes to the fore.

Collingwood would definitely expect a decent return, but having fallen behind Leigh Brown in the pecking order, I don't think Nathan would be adverse to change.

There will be many other clubs in need of him then us. We don't need him. We should only trade for a player if it is a need/necessity not a luxury or want, this is a given rule when trading.

spot on...would be a different story if he was a KPF

He's another of the Collingwood stars that the media salivate over. He was going to be the next big thing CHB,CHF was capable of playing both ends and that was after just one game.

They are all champions until they leave there.

No don't think he is what the MFC need deffinetly a key forward and qlty ruckman if available... i like garland down back he takes the game on and its great when u find a position that suits certain players as they can grow onto it and know there job week in week out..

Don't mind Brown, but if we were going to trade in players that weren't 100% established, I'd prefer they played in positions that we were deficient in. I.E. pretty much every area except for tall defenders.

Just thought I'd bring this one up again to avoid duplicate threads.

His name has been brought up again - this time within the Luke Ball trade.

Would love to see Melbourne somehow get involved here... Have huge wraps on N. Brown.

Can't see Ball falling to PSD and therefore a deal will be done. We may struggle to get a big name now for PSD though a reasonable player may come through later. If not we will be looking for another LJ.

I agree that Ball won't fall into PSD. I think if anything he could still be convinced to remain a Saint, regardless of media reports.

I still reckon Burgoyne might (wishful thinking), because I feel that he wouldn't mind coming to Melbourne. My belief is we are his second choice. Especially with Melbourne probably being able to fork out a bit more $$$ than most.

Still would be willing to throw a pick into the ring and see if we can somehow get involved in a deal involving either Everitt or Brown.

Which of these players is Brown better than?

- Warnock

- Frawley

- Garland

- Rivers

Genuine question.

I want to know who he'll be booting out of the side (not necessarily right now, but in to the future as well). If the answer's nobody, then it's probably not a worthwhile trade in my mind.

I think Brown is better than Warnock.

And secondly, there has been a lot of talk about Garland making a move forward. Brown would help to allow that move to happen. In addition, there remains genuine concern over whether Garland can get fit again. His injury is severe.

None of them.

Warnock is under-rated.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
