I heard a whisper that he was very inspired by the double ??'s Victoria received in the last few days and is keen to start a new AFL tradition.

Can he chop out in the Ruck? 

not sure about chop out, but he can certainly flop out with great results

North don’t have a leg to stand on when attempting to hold Brown. 
 

- He’s out of contract
- They haven’t offered him a deal 
- There’s clearly been acrimony between him and the club 

It’s a farce he isn’t a free agent after 7 years of service and a year for their VFL side. He’s pretty close to a delisted free agent too when there’s no interest in keeping him.

I’d be kicking off negotiations with a future 3rd round pick and might go to a future 2nd rounder and a swap of other picks. That’s in line with the value of Sam Frost and that’s about all they are getting. My message to the Brown camp would be we need every possible asset to build the rest of the list as well, so stay solid with us and we’ll get you in but we’re done being the roll over trade guys 

Yeh cause that method always works

Looks like this may be the case with gws getting hogan

Reuniting the Hogan / T Mac combination would be interesting.

I can't wait for "guess the silhouette on the demonland banner" next year. With hair like that, I will be guaranteed to get one right.

I know our Pick 23 has been widely mooted as the potential or probable pick to be used for the for Brown, just wanted to get peoples thoughts on here if they'd be happy if we gave over next year's first round pick for Brown? 

i wouldn't go as far as next years first round but if we can sell the idea that theres less academy players next year they should take that second rounder we should because, clubs will pay large overs for a pick at the start of the second round on the beginning of day two of the draft. last year the cats turned 26 and 67!!! into 11 this year with gold coast. clubs will be that keen to get the guy that slipped through, iirc brissie gave up a fair bit to move up too. it makes 23 pretty valuable for a draft day trade imo compared to later second rounders

Can someone with a subscription provide a summary of this article? 

[Diamond_Jim 12,590]

Of course the real question is whether he will still get the same amount of frees when he plays for the Dees

[DeeZee 7,397]

Very interesting article.

Gee if we get a first round pick for TMac and Preuss we will be doing alright.

The Demons could package up Preuss and McDonald in the same trade deal with the Giants in a move that could net the Demons a first-round pick for the pair from GWS.

That defies belief

T Mac is a negative trade wise(ie we pay them to take him) and Preuss is a high third rounder.

Am I missing something

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

A first rounder for T mac and Preuss. .. very nice.

Looks overs on paper but if GWS think they can get T mac up and running and since Preuss will be their first ruck, I think we deserve a first rounder for that package.

Ben Brown - future 2nd round ✅

Isaac Smith - free agent ✅

Tmcd and Preuss = GWS Pick 12-13 ✅???

That would mean DJ that he would have to get all our combined free kicks in each game. Easy campesi.

Where did that outcome come from

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,842]

It would be one of the great trade steals of all time if we can get a first rounder for a ruckman we don’t really need and a player that has barely fired a shot in 25 months - and clearing salary cap.

• QD arrives home from work . . . a bit irritable and somewhat knackered,
• Turns on Demonland for a bit of escapism and sees the 'Hot' sticker next to the BB thread together with four new pages,
• Gets really excited, thinks there must be a serious advancement and possibly an in principle agreement from the Brown camp,
• Excitement reaches fever-pitch as the thread is activated . . . 
• F*&k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On what planet are Preuss and Tmac worth a 1st rounder???

Is it April 1 already?

Does seem a bit ludicrous on its own, particularly when T-Mac is being talked about being a "salary dump" situation. However if you throw in a future 2nd from us, then GWS may deem it worthwhile.

Could end up looking like T-Mac, Preuss and a pick between 19-36 for pick 13? - which will probably slide back to 15-16. Probably wishful thinking on my part but not outside the realms of possibility.
