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.

Suggest "somebody" at Hawthorn really, really wants Burgoyne ... yet you have people around here saying ... wouldn't touch him unless we got him in the PSD :o :o :o

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:

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
