Kanga's apparently planning to use the Brown picks in trade for Stephenson. Gives us a slightly clearer run at targeting the Dogs pick.

    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.

    can I have some of the 1800 pints mate  a bit thirsty here

    Sounds pretty darn good to me!

    We still have two picks in the second round to potentially package together while also getting Brown into the club without using a first round pick!  Great stuff!

    Welcome Ben.

    A genuine forward. The lift this will give the other forwards could be HUGE.

    All in all, it's Ben Brown for a mid second round pick in a speculative draft.

    Ludicrous bargain.

    Bang on, here LO.  Brown is a genuine forward.  I expect Weid's development to come on in leaps and bounds in 2021 as he has Brown to learn off/from.

    It is good but would have also liked to get a fast winger during the trade period to rather than just looking at internal players (which hasnt worked so far). Still a bit of time left but doubt it will happen.

    Good business Dees. 

    A full forward to take key defender and weeds to roam. Jacko can leap around. Petracca kicking to the hands of BB. 

    An we still have 2 x 2nd rounders.

    Excellent!

    Perhaps these could become a 1 st rounder (macrae)

    Great deal. Essentially Ben Brown for Pick 31 as we give up 33 and downgrade 26 to 28. 

    pretty much turned Preuss into Ben Brown!!

    well done JM

    Well done Demons. This could be a huge masterstroke. 
    Get Ben as fit as possible and get he and The Weid together. Go out for pizza ? Get on the Beers ? and sort out how the 2 of them work in tandem

    Absolutely..

    Also great to see that neutral supporters reckon we paid massive unders for Brown.

    It's fantastic.

    So we give up 33 for Brown, sliding back two spots from 26 to 28 which barely matters, and we likely improve on our 2021 fourth round pick.

    I think we have to be happy with this.

    Now to see how it all actually plays out on the field.

    As last hours madness rolls in, all we need is for North to trade one of those for Stephenson and Collingwood to decide they want ToMc and we could end up getting it back again.

    Has he had a fitness test?

    Or did he hop on the other (good) leg to show his knee is ok? As the story went with Kelvin Templeton...

    Are North incompetent, or is there something we are not being told about Brown that makes him so cheap?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
