We're interested in Brown, but several things need to happen for a trade to happen.

Salary cap is our main enemy at the moment. We were hoping to get TMac off the books, as apparently we're tight and need to free up some cash in the coming years to hold onto our elite core of Oliver, Tracย etc.

If we can fit Brown in, we're keen and have enquired already.

There's interest and we're still trying to find a deal, but his salary is the sticking point.

Any news on Smith?

In talks with I. Smith and a real chance to come across as an UFA.

Haven't heard anything about the big fish Cameron or Merrett.
Others inย Saad and Williams both off to Blues. Didn't hear anything about Williams, but heard we enquired about Saad and lost out to Blues.

Brown would be a great get IMO. Tall forward who kicks goals. As long as his body is ok, then he'd be a great get for our struggling and immature forward line.

Is Brown a free agent?

Gosh, I hope we walk straight away from this big sideshow bob fella. Would be a costly mistakeย

As far as I know, he's out of contract but not a free agent.ย

If our salary cap is an issue and impacting our capacity when discussing Brown, we are no chance to enter talks with Cameron unless we shed serious salary. I can't remember the last time this many credentialed key forwards were potentially in the market at once, hope we could get one in.

I like the idea of swapping our future first for their future 2nd. They can death ride us for a top 10 pick, we are aiming to make it pick 14-18 for what will assuredly be pick 19. Then you add our 23 in so they're at least getting a minimum pick 15-20 and satisfying their desire for an outright 1st. We might want a 3rd rounder back though for this year's draft.

Out:

2020 pick 23

2021 Pick 1-18

In:

Ben Brown

2020 pick 40 (Or whatever it is)

2021 pick 19-36

Ben.Brown is only worth pick 23 why all those swaps for?

NM will not accept 23. Please try again.

While I'm not a massive fan of Brown, especially as I don't think he fits with our style of play, North have backed themselves into a corner with this.ย  They have basically told him to move on, so they can't come to the table and demand heaps for him as they don't want him.ย ย 

If he wanted out himself then it would be another story, but North have clearly instigated this, so it takes away some of his value in my opinion.

Why not that's all he's worth they won't be getting a first rounder for him. He had a shocker of a year and is out of contract.

Is Mahoney really going to take a hard-line approach though, because they don't want him there and have backed themselves into a corner, which came about through contract negotiations and rebuilding, rather than anything attitude based?

I see him taking more ofย a diplomatic win/win for both parties approach that would see him aiming to get that 23 down to something equating 15-18 to satisfy both parties, be it through pick swaps or a player. Maybe it's splitting hairs anyway. I just hope it gets done.

And my above suggestion would ideally be a swap of pick 23 & 18 for 19, 40, BB and a premiership, with them gambling on us and losing.


I dont think we want both Tmac and Brown. Rather a smaller deadly forward if we keep Tmacย and Weid. I have strong hope for Petty as a forward..ย

They're pushing him out the door, how can they be making demands? They should be expecting a 3rd or 4th rounder for him really

You'd have to think we might look at Harmes or Brayshaw as tradeable. Harmes' contract, unless it's small, may stand against him. Is this why Harmes was played out of position the entire year? Clutching at straws, AF.

I'd trade Weideman for Merrett. Essendon need a KPF...

I don't know why we don't just re consider our expectations of Weid and T. Mac, keep developing Jackson up forward and invest heavily in a medium size forward?

Weid and T. Mac can crash packs all day, Kozzy, Fritsch and Trac looked most likely all year. Imagine if we landed De Goey or Papley, both absolute spanners but both are match winners who like Trac can destroy a one on one and free up other forwards.

Medium sized forwards and inside mids are what we have an abundance of.ย 

We need a key forward.

I'd play Brown and Jackson as the two talls with Petty as back up.

Unsure if this will surprise others as much as it did myself but Browns contested mark %ย stacks up against most of the key power forwards. I have always thought of him primarilyย as a leading mark (which would straighten us up). He also averages the highest โ€œfrees forโ€ of key forwards.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
