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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
