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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
