Did we draw a good barrier?

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.

Carlton are not quick just Bs with no proof what so ever, neither are the saints.

I don't know what planet you are living on if you think Carlton aren't quick? it's about the only thing theyve had going for them for years.

When did 31 or 33 become third round?

My bad.

I saw a whole lot of 3s in the picks and told myself it was a third rounder.

Point remains: Brown for pick 31 or 33 is a good result (assuming the only other net loss is a slide back from 26 to 28).

We did, but we’re riding Anthony Van Dyck

I am looking forward to the Sideshow Bob* in a Melbourne jumper images coming our way from the graphic geniuses on this website.

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

I think North are probably wanting to do the same and have more to offer?

I am now looking forward to see what we do with the rest of the picks?

Hope you're right and it makes sense as they only need picks for value to match Ugle-Hagan bids. Pick 14 = 1161. Picks 28 + 33 = 1240. Maybe they've agreed to whatever the deal is going to be in consultation with Doggies on what they will accept. This would leave us with 14, 43, 50, 68, 69, 89. Sounds like there will also be some late pick swaps. So a reasonable hand at the draft. Obviously must have someone in mind to get up to pick 14.

One can only hope on that result. Would be great to land Brown and get back a Round 1 pick. 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Good deal.  Very good actually.

Now lets break the premiership drought.

[whatwhat say what 22,771]

essentially preuss for sideshow bob; outstanding work

with the compo picks, f/s picks and academy picks, pick 31 and 33 will definitely end up 3 rounders

[buck_nekkid 5,866]

In 2020 the forward line was a joke.  In 2021 it is going to just be a SIDESHOW!

[3183 Dee 2,853]

That is a very good deal - essentially Brown for a late second round.

The forwards coach is not the only coach that has a BIG job in 21.

The entire coaching panel do.

[loges 6,767]

Anything other than a first round pick was always going to be an absolute steal.

[Accepting Mediocrity 1,418]

The net trade of Preuss for Ben Brown is the most outrageous piece of swindling since that Canadian bloke traded a paperclip for a house. 

[whatwhat say what 22,771]

it's not QUITE one red paperclip, but it's not bad!

to go back seven or so years... josh kelly + jarman impey = christian salem, jayden hunt, marty hore, and ben brown

The Dogs will want more points premium than that - they're currently 600 short of a bid for JUH at pick 1.

The best bet for them would be 14 + a fringe player for the 1800 pints they need.

For example 14 + Ed Richards for 28 + 33 + 43 + 50 would get them there.

Please join the dots to Jakovich!

I'll just grab a G&T and some popcorn!

Josh Kelly vs Salem & Ben Brown...this never stops!
