    How long to the announcement from the Suns that he has joined them?

    seeing as their season is over, maybe in the coming week.

    Expect a presser in a few days to allow for the Mad Monday cobwebs to wear off.

    Expect the next announcement to contain a few names.

    Might wait another two weeks so that they can get Harbrow at the same presser.

    On the other hand, they might like to spread them out to keep their team in the news.

    Touche.

    If you're big signings are Bock (past it), Krakouer (average at best) and Brown (a thug with little skill) you're not doing great. Of course they'll probably add Rischitelli, Brennan and maybe Ablett to that which adds a whole lot of class but they're not exactly swooping on the cream of the AFL crop at the moment.

    For sure. As the teams fall, players having finished will be named (and in some cases like Bock & Krakeour; shamed).

    That is interesting. Clubs are happy to get on the high horse and condemn players for leaving but have no qualms in delisting or seeking to trade them.

    Good post.

    Greg Buckle has reported on AAP that the Suns are about to announce that they have signed Campbell Brown.

    The Suns released a statement on Monday night saying they would "make an uncontracted player announcement" on Tuesday morning.

    While Brown is a valued player, it's believed the Hawks simply couldn't match the financial terms put forward by the cashed-up Queenslanders.

    Exactly. The "sorry, it's business" line does not seem to cut both ways.

    Interesting that the mood of the Hawks fans on the various forums seem to be pretty accepting of Brown's decision.

    I don't think it is that surprising. They have known for some time now, and they probably understand what he offers and what else others can offer from their list back or forward. Weighing up his age and the influence or contribution he has made recently for Hawthorn, they can probably understand Brown's situation; not forgeting that he was reportedly on the table last trade.

    Bet they wish they did use him in the Burgoyne trade.

    AND / OR

    maybe he objected to being traded to Port because he was already set on being at the Suns.

    So if they were going to name one of ours, when do you think this will happen?

    Not sure about the announcement coming on TFS but Hutchy will probably announce that Brown's decision to go to the Suns will be announced tomorrow. :wacko:

    I would have thought that if they were taking one of ours it would have been announced by now. Maybe they are now looking at Miller as a result of his two good games for Casey against them. BOG both times.

    It was mentioned tonight on the foxtel afl teams program that the hawks coducted their official annual review today. The entire squad was in attendance bar one person... Campbell Brown

    Clarkson on Before the Game virtually conceded that Brown is gone and we should know early in the week.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
