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?

    • 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.
