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: 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.
