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

Welcome Ben!!

 

Trade radio just said this is the deal

NM give BB, 28 and Future 4th

Melb give 26, 33 and future 4th

A very good deal.  Got overs for Preuss and have paid under for Brown.

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.

Tweet removed ?  Against AFL rules ?!

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. 

Absolute bargain.

When does Coleman medal betting open, he's a big chance

We used sandpaper instead of KY.

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?
