Another day,  and no news.

Doubt Brown is coming to Melbourne, would have been confirmed by now.

Ridiculous logic. He's not staying at North and he hasn't nominated any new club yet. Maybe he's going to nominate for Elon Musk one way trip to Mars?

    Watch Geelong turn their attention to Brown now, now they can't get Cameron for free...  ?

    This logic implies Brown is a FA, which of course, he's not. I think the Cats will get Cameron regardless. They see a gun forward wanting to come to them, they get the deal done. Smith and Higgins will cost them nix. Why would a GF team with 3 late first rounders refuse to trade for a gun key forward that fills a need? Brown would be a compromise on what they could get. We don't have that luxury, unfortunately

    This is a strong possibility with reports that GWS are matching the Cats offer for Cameron. 

    That’s just so that GWS can get more in return for Cameron and they have said all along that if they aren’t happy with the compensation pick that’s what they would do. The geriatrics want cameron and will do a deal. 
     

    Their members expect him to be at the geriatrics next season given its been made public. Don’t stress.

    Yeah maybe.

    Or maybe there are other clubs besides Melbourne after him and in that case we will likely lose out.

    My logic is flawless.

    I understand the GWS side of the equation and it would have been negligent of them not to do this.

    I'm not sure Geelong want to have to give up what they're going to need to now to satisfy GWS.

    Brown will be a cheaper option for them in terms of what they have to give up.

    I'm not saying it will play out that way but it very well could and is the most likely stumbling block for us getting Brown now.

    No matter what happens with GWS matching i guarantee you there is ZERO chance Geelong would back down from their commitment to Cameron.

    Probably not but at least they don't get him without having to pay GWS compensation out of their own pocket.

    This has been the biggest issue that many have with the Free Agency model that is benefitting clubs like Geelong.

    Agree.

    As much as i dislike the Cats you can't deny they are a well run organisation and will get the job done.

    No need to worry this if from the article on the AFL site put up just now:

     

    “Cameron's agent Alex McDonald confirmed on Trade Radio this week that his client had no intentions of returning to the Giants and was set on a future with Geelong”. 
     

    Can u imagine the supporters backlash if he doesn’t get there. It would be more feral than usual.

    Agree but the formula would have given them a mid level first rounder I assume.

    If trading with Geelong they must want a player as well

    By your logic, he's not going anywhere because he hasn't announced it yet.

    Pretty big offer by the cats and now matched by gws for a 24 goal forward. I don't think gws really want him at his asking price but the cats have committed to him and gws have called their bluff. Awesome 

    Wow, may need some popcorn for this one, ladies & Gents?

    The Isaac Smith scenario has got into your head.

    If we are going to trade out Pruess and the 2 Macs we will need to bring in a tall. Brown may as well be it.  He is good on the lead Our forward line is like a dogs breakfast no one except the opposition backs seem to know where ours mids are going to kick it.

    Geelong have 3 first round picks don't they? Probably can work a trade for a player with one to a 3rd club.

    If we trade out TMac &  then BBrown gets snaffled by the Geelong $ 

    We are stuffed

    There is literally no chance Cameron isn't at Geelong next year. 

    It's zero.

    Why would Brown want to go to a club who views him as their second option when there are other clubs that view him as their first?

    In his very limited exposure under Goodwin this year, I saw Baker playing an expanding game and thoughtful form benchmarks that cast aside the 'ginger ninja' cacophony, replacing it with a concept of 'predator' for the ball, for space and for the opportunity to run with that ball to good effect. When our team realises this attribute, he's going to be a target in space, early and rampant. Don't ya reckon?  

    No.....delist

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
