Another day,  and no news.

Doubt Brown is coming to Melbourne, would have been confirmed by now.

Ridiculous logic. He's not staying at North and he hasn't nominated any new club yet. Maybe he's going to nominate for Elon Musk one way trip to Mars?

Watch Geelong turn their attention to Brown now, now they can't get Cameron for free...  ?

This logic implies Brown is a FA, which of course, he's not. I think the Cats will get Cameron regardless. They see a gun forward wanting to come to them, they get the deal done. Smith and Higgins will cost them nix. Why would a GF team with 3 late first rounders refuse to trade for a gun key forward that fills a need? Brown would be a compromise on what they could get. We don't have that luxury, unfortunately

This is a strong possibility with reports that GWS are matching the Cats offer for Cameron. 

That’s just so that GWS can get more in return for Cameron and they have said all along that if they aren’t happy with the compensation pick that’s what they would do. The geriatrics want cameron and will do a deal. 
 

Their members expect him to be at the geriatrics next season given its been made public. Don’t stress.

Yeah maybe.

Or maybe there are other clubs besides Melbourne after him and in that case we will likely lose out.

My logic is flawless.

I understand the GWS side of the equation and it would have been negligent of them not to do this.

I'm not sure Geelong want to have to give up what they're going to need to now to satisfy GWS.

Brown will be a cheaper option for them in terms of what they have to give up.

I'm not saying it will play out that way but it very well could and is the most likely stumbling block for us getting Brown now.

No matter what happens with GWS matching i guarantee you there is ZERO chance Geelong would back down from their commitment to Cameron.

Probably not but at least they don't get him without having to pay GWS compensation out of their own pocket.

This has been the biggest issue that many have with the Free Agency model that is benefitting clubs like Geelong.

Agree.

As much as i dislike the Cats you can't deny they are a well run organisation and will get the job done.

No need to worry this if from the article on the AFL site put up just now:

 

“Cameron's agent Alex McDonald confirmed on Trade Radio this week that his client had no intentions of returning to the Giants and was set on a future with Geelong”. 
 

Can u imagine the supporters backlash if he doesn’t get there. It would be more feral than usual.

Agree but the formula would have given them a mid level first rounder I assume.

If trading with Geelong they must want a player as well

By your logic, he's not going anywhere because he hasn't announced it yet.

Pretty big offer by the cats and now matched by gws for a 24 goal forward. I don't think gws really want him at his asking price but the cats have committed to him and gws have called their bluff. Awesome 

Wow, may need some popcorn for this one, ladies & Gents?

The Isaac Smith scenario has got into your head.

If we are going to trade out Pruess and the 2 Macs we will need to bring in a tall. Brown may as well be it.  He is good on the lead Our forward line is like a dogs breakfast no one except the opposition backs seem to know where ours mids are going to kick it.

Geelong have 3 first round picks don't they? Probably can work a trade for a player with one to a 3rd club.

Why would Brown want to go to a club who views him as their second option when there are other clubs that view him as their first?

In his very limited exposure under Goodwin this year, I saw Baker playing an expanding game and thoughtful form benchmarks that cast aside the 'ginger ninja' cacophony, replacing it with a concept of 'predator' for the ball, for space and for the opportunity to run with that ball to good effect. When our team realises this attribute, he's going to be a target in space, early and rampant. Don't ya reckon?  

No.....delist

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025. Date of Birth: January 28, 2002 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total: 18 Goals MFC 2024: 17 Career Total: 17 Games CDFC 2024: 1 Goals CDFC 2024:  1

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
