What the hell are Hawthorn thinking offering him up for Burgoyne? He is a heart and soul player, in their best 22, has bleed, will bleed again, and makes people bleed, for the Brown and Gold.

I dont know contracts, or other situations, but im guessing he would be heart broken he is even been thrown up, would definitly offer Pick 34 and player (Miller, PJ, Buckley) to get him to Melbourne

He is one of those players you DONT even think of trading, the supporter backlash from hawks fans would be worse than he who shall not be named

Could easily scuttle the entire deal.

Will cause friction within the club as well as outside.

Brown won't agree to the trade anyway IMO, so really I see it only as a lose-lose for the Hawks.

A very odd move.

Whats happened to this game?

It really just is a business these days.

I would be LIVID if I was a dorks supporter.

Madness, this deal would be a big win for port. Imagine the scrutiny on the hawks board if burgyorne dosn't make it on the track next year after giving up pick 9 and BROWN.

Hard men win games on grandfinal day not soft and broken midfielders

First, might not be true.

Second, I would be shocked if Hawks didn't demand total secrecy on the proposal if true. Given that the secrecy has been breached, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled out on that "deal" and denied it was ever an option

I would have thought so too. Especially as the "secrecy" seems to have been breached from the Adelaide end.

Unless they're trying to exert leverage on Port to settle for McGlynn, by demonstrating to them the difficulty they will have in giving up one of their "heart & soul" players for Burgoyne.

bad move there by hawks, would be like us offering Moloney +pick 11 for Burgs

If true who b left to fall in PSD.Lake signed 4 yr deal today

Well Brown has 1 year left on his current contract so he wouldnt fall through anyway.

I dont think anyone will fall through to the PSD that Melb would have a serious look at.

Yeah, well Hawthorn also wants to trade Campbell Brown; Alistair Clarkson that little infected weasel is their coach; and Jeff Kennet the world's least funny clown is their president, so you can't really say they have sound judgement.

I love trade week!

From a purely football point of view - Brown + pick 9 for Burgoyne is a fair deal. Brown is a decent player, but not the champion that Hawthorn fans make him out to be.

But probably not worth it given the effects on the supporter base and club morale. I've already heard quite a few supporters ringing up SEN threatening to cancel their memberships if it goes ahead

Agree old. I just brought up the Woewodin point with a friend.

Supporters blinded by their love of a player.

Brown is an overrated thug - but he's loved by supporters because of his heart-on-his-sleeve attitude.

He's not that good a footballer.

I still don't think he'll agree to the deal, which throws a massive spanner in the works - which will be very enjoyable to watch.

Good, I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought that way. I also agree there'll be some massive blowback from Hawks supporters. They can join the Fev supporters at Princess Park :lol:

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
