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!

All in all, it's Ben Brown for a mid second round pick in a speculative draft.

Ludicrous bargain.

Welcome Ben.

A genuine forward. The lift this will give the other forwards could be HUGE.

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..

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...

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
