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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
