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

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
