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

 

Trade radio just said this is the deal

NM give BB, 28 and Future 4th

Melb give 26, 33 and future 4th


Sam Edmunds on Trade Radio just said the deal is:

MFC give: 26, 33, future 4th

NM give: Brown, 28, future 4th

(Apologies if a repeat)

Edit - Lost the race haha. Good trade tho.

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 

 

WOW. that's an incredible deal for us.

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: 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
