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

    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?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
