So unless you're upset with sliding back two spots from 26 to 28, we'll get Brown for a third round pick (31 or 33).

Sounds good to me.

    North Melbourne and Melbourne are close to a deal to send Ben Brown to the Demons for an exchange of a suite of picks.

    The deal, which is agreed in principal, cannot be lodged until later today after an AFL briefing.

    The deal will centre on North giving up Brown and pick 28 and receive Melbourne’s pick 26 and either pick 31 or 33.

    The clubs will also swap future late round picks.

    If this ends up being the deal I think we couldn't be happier

    When did 31 or 33 become third round?

    Article says we'll be giving up 26 alongside either pick 31 or 33.

    So potentially...

    In: Brown, Pick 28, Pick 70

    Out: Pick 26, Pick 31, Pick 50.

    So in effect, Brown for Preuss. I think on the face of it that's a fantastic result.

    An essential swap of Preuss for Brown would be an outstanding result.

    It says "Future Late Round Picks" in the article. Which could mean we still have 50 in this years draft to help us move up into the first round.

    Nothing will be announced until after trade week closes, so that the AFL can build the anticipation. Stupid.

    So we have to wait until 7.00pm?

    Which BB won't help.

    Interesting a side like Carlton which is probably a quicker side than us, said they needed more speed and together with the Saints, have brought in a number of quicker players over the last 2 years.

     

    Here we go again this myth that we are slow just total BS, funny in 2018 when we were winning no one said it was a problem, I see no evidence that Carlton is quick.

    If that is the deal, that is sensational! Ben Brown for essentially a pick in the early 30s in a compromised draft. 

    Deal of the century.

    Can't imagine we could get him so cheap but if we did, WOW!

    • Preuss: Games 18      Goals 9
    • Brown: Games 130     Goals 287

    Disagree.
    We are not a quick side and have even said we were looking at outside run and identified Smith as a possible, for a 3 year contract.

    Just because we had a purple patch in the second half of 2018 doesn’t make us a quick side.

    I think most would agree that Blues and Saints are quicker sides than us and they keep loading up on pace.

    Happy with that. Package up 31 and 33 for the bully's 1st rounder

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
