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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
