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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
