WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN

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: 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
