WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN

[titan_uranus 24,969]

So unless you're upset with sliding back two spots from 26 to 28, we'll get Brown for a third round pick (31 or 33).

Sounds good to me.

North Melbourne and Melbourne are close to a deal to send Ben Brown to the Demons for an exchange of a suite of picks.

The deal, which is agreed in principal, cannot be lodged until later today after an AFL briefing.

The deal will centre on North giving up Brown and pick 28 and receive Melbourne’s pick 26 and either pick 31 or 33.

The clubs will also swap future late round picks.

If this ends up being the deal I think we couldn't be happier

When did 31 or 33 become third round?

 

[Demon Jack 6,858]

Article says we'll be giving up 26 alongside either pick 31 or 33.

So potentially...

In: Brown, Pick 28, Pick 70

Out: Pick 26, Pick 31, Pick 50.

So then how many picks do we have left for the draft?

So in effect, Brown for Preuss. I think on the face of it that's a fantastic result. 

[P-man 13,366]

An essential swap of Preuss for Brown would be an outstanding result.

It says "Future Late Round Picks" in the article. Which could mean we still have 50 in this years draft to help us move up into the first round.

If that is the net effect then nobody in the whole universe can deny this as nothing short of a heist.

[Demon Disciple 12,062]

Nothing will be announced until after trade week closes, so that the AFL can build the anticipation. Stupid.

[deebug 1,754]

Is there a min of picks we have to use in the draft, i could be wrong but i thought all clubs had to use at least 3 picks?

[Turner 1,507]

Interesting a side like Carlton which is probably a quicker side than us, said they needed more speed and together with the Saints, have brought in a number of quicker players over the last 2 years.

 

Here we go again this myth that we are slow just total BS, funny in 2018 when we were winning no one said it was a problem, I see no evidence that Carlton is quick.

If that is the deal, that is sensational! Ben Brown for essentially a pick in the early 30s in a compromised draft. 

Deal of the century.

[DeeSpencer 25,436]

Watch us slip in a future 2nd for a future 4th. You know, late picks and all

Can't imagine we could get him so cheap but if we did, WOW!

• Preuss: Games 18      Goals 9
• Brown: Games 130     Goals 287

Disagree.
We are not a quick side and have even said we were looking at outside run and identified Smith as a possible, for a 3 year contract.

Just because we had a purple patch in the second half of 2018 doesn’t make us a quick side.

I think most would agree that Blues and Saints are quicker sides than us and they keep loading up on pace.
