Or the AFL is holding back the 'juicy' trades to create 'drama'.

They will love Treloar, Cameron, Stevenson, Cox, Phillips, Dunkley, Brown announcements being delayed.  That is a lot of fans hanging on (click baiting) for news.

 

 

So there can only be one reasonable assumption why this has not already been completed, North are digging in, they see us as weak and going to try and bend us over. This should have been done by now, the posturing and the theater really is pathetic at times.

Did they do this last year? I have this vague recollection they tried to make an Americanised style show on the AFL website at 7.30pm to showcase the big last minute trades

Only time will tell, will the rose coloured glass wearers have the "I  told you so" rights in 12 months or will it be the nah-sayers which I am one on this trade. 

May I was all for, bloody good player and more importantly is the general not afraid of telling his team mates how it is

But a pick in 20’s or 2 in 30’s is going to help us get to the next level now or in 2yrs more than BB Is is it? Uneducated football opinions really annoy me and remind me why I rarely engage you ppl. 
 

go support someone else, you and your chook mate. Seriously.

HS and other AFL websites love it.  The ratio of clicks is far higher during trade time then during the season.  Each click gets them some money. 

Orchestrated for max media interests.

Edit:  Forgot to add Fantasia, Caldwell and Jack Higgins to list of 'juicy' trades.  Nearly every Vic club affected by potential trades.

This is a forum that people will have differing opinions on players, on trades, on the club if we all had the same opinion this site wouldn't exist as we would know what everyone is thinking.  You also don't know what people's Football knowledge is, what level they have played or coached at, the connections they may have at the club or with in AFL circles.  Just because someone has a different opinion to you doesn't make them less a supporter or you better than them. 

You think offering 2 picks for Brown is a good idea, others don't, we will wait and see what the deal is and then be judged by our opinion once we see what Brown puts on the park, not on what he has done but what he will actually do.  I'm happy to be proven totally wrong and you are welcome to bump this thread late next year and I will cop my whack and will happy to do so because if I am we are playing finals with a dominant forward

It’s just a classic case of wanting to be a contrarian, that’s not debate it’s child-ish!!! If you think BB is less value than two picks in 30’s in compromised draft when scouting data is at an all-time low the You’re insane. Even in SPEC it’s a no brainer, ie what your asking to SEE is ridiculous based on what we are giving up. This a the EXACT issue with contrarians not fully understanding what they are saying.

The return on what we’re giving up is FAR from BB needing to be a goal-kicking machine in a side playing finals, that’s just hogwash, champ! The mere potential ceiling even if never remotely reached outweighs the risk of the cost, so your logic doesn’t hold weight so waiting 12mths won’t suffice, that’s my point.

It’s more I suggest due to fact they know it’ll go through so thus only gets passing mention opposed to deals that are genuinely “at-risk”

So I’m not saying I’m ‘better’ I’m saying your logic is flawed and that saying things just to say them is a waste of time and energy. You can say you think BB won’t impact or that your view is he won’t help us etc but that’s not what you said, you referenced the entire attempt as though it were misguided which is adversely against what the club is doing ie TRYING something, trying to fix a hole, what would you have them do? Sit on their hands? That’s not how premierships are won. So in my view barracking against the club is indeed a hangable offence. It’s poor form and it irks me greatly!!!

97 pages.  Games of chess between grand masters are quicker than this.  Push the Kangas now to take our offer.  We will then look to grab the Bulldogs pick with pick swaps.  

The pick swap can be done any time up to Draft night and actually on Draft night - I don't expect that to happen in the Trade period.

It’s the rainy days that make us better appreciate the sunshine. A demon/Saints flag as a result will mean a [censored]-load more than a flag for anyone else, no matter when it comes or indeed if.. I love my club and refuse to be one f those red-seat flogs that’s always bagging our own players or shouting “kick the bloody thing”

calm down Nudge

we all have an opinion.Who are the red seat floggs you are referring.MCC members? Redleg members MFC members

I think  there is a great diversity of opinion amongst our supporters What makes you so special?

I’m not special and I love a varied opinion maybe I’m sounding a little more harsh than I intend for I’m as calm as can be.. however it is my opinion that negging posters that barrack for the club to fail shouldn’t be considered all-weather supporters that’s all.. but you’re now Your own argument by saying that I myself and not allowed to express my own individual to opinion which is perhaps a little confounding to try and decipher for me anyway.

 

But there’s a fist amount of joviality in the specific post you are taking issue with. Even though you are 100% now acting in direct opponent to you’re clearly passionate opinion that we’re all inherently entitled to express our own opinion, as I have.

You're not supposed to care, I’m the one irked—not sure where I date that I also requested you to be? Perhaps you need to calm down a little, friend.

I feel the need to post and let some random know that you’ve ‘ignored’ them fairly hilarious. As though the thought of someone ignoring me (as I’m sure there are plenty) should upset me, particularly as I have never met them. 
 


***it’s also valuable trade content that I’d rather not read, but then again, on second thoughts, trade time is really about 3-5pm on a Thursday for the ? appeal from the delivers of ‘content’. 
 

So I revise it, everyones soap operas just help me get though my meaningless life as a Melbourne Supporter 

How can it take so long to get a player that North don’t want, we do & he wants to get to us!!!!

Del Santo also said breaking out of centre, Brown was a great presence and you couldn’t help be drawn to kicking towards him, gave Brown significant praise!

Craig Jennings the strategist another to really rate Brown and how much time Melbourne spent on trying to stop him.
Brown is a huge get for the Demons, getting him for a draft pick or picks in 2nd round is a big win!

Hopefully this trade gets sorted out tomorrow morning.

It will be good to have another tall forward.

The only challenge is having Demons players with kicking ability who can hit Ben Brown on the chest lace out.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
