Peter Wright really hasn't shown much.

May come on but may go the way of Daniel Gorringe.

GCS was a mess for the first part of his career up there.  Nonetheless he has played some excellent games.  Hasn't had a clear run it and fell out of favour with Dew.

Will benefit greatly from a more positive environment, altho must say not sure that is Essendon.  At least there he will get regular games to show what he can do.

    For Essendon if they're getting the 2017 model who kicked 32 goals as forward ruck.

    For GC if they're getting the 2020 model who failed to play a game in a poor side despite being highly rated.

    As per my post above.  Dew just seemed to refuse to play him. 

    With all the AFL assistance with draft picks and draft free priority zone selections the can afford to offload players for peanuts.

    I think he will do well at Ess so they are more likely to get the 2017 version.

    Tallied together that's 836 points ~ Pick 22. Is that North's price for Ben Brown?

    I would offer the Dogs 26 and 33 for 14. Preuss pick from GWS should be enough for Ben, if not add the Hannan pick coming our way.

    I'd be willing to bet that pick 33 will get the deal done for Ben Brown.

    as would i, but they can blame their clubs horrible handling of the situation for the reduced trade value.

    A bit like the 'fire sale' of Jack Watts. If 33 for Ben Brown happens then it's a fairly similar result.

    33, 43 and 53 is more points than pick 14.

    I think we'll go a points swap with the dogs to get their first rounder, then use a future pick to get Brown.

    Maybe we could give Roos the Preuss pick if that ever eventuates.

    So we have

    2020 - 2nd rd 26,33 3rd rd 43,50 4th rd 68,69

    2021 -1st round, 3rd round , 4th round (Lions) 

    2020 #33 likely to be used for Brown. 
     

    Still awaiting news on Preuss (and Tmc) trade news. Really want that 2020 Rd2 pick 31 off Giants for Preuss.

    Ok. So get 14. Then use Preuss pick from GWS say 31 for Ben Brown. So we have 14,68,69. A gun and then two absolute smokeys/stab in the dark type picks.

    The Gorringe comparison is pretty close to the mark.
    Someone on Demonland commented a while ago that if Wright didn't have a catchy nickname, no one would know who he has.

    A mature age, key position forward who can't get a game with a bottom of the table team.  He's very, very overrated when you look at his onfield output.

    Future first and pick 50 - North for Ben Brown and pick 25 

    then flick some of those second rounders to clubs for first rounders if they need points.  

    if we could get Ben Brown and a couple of decent picks that's a good result.

    We can't trade our future 1st unless we get one back or a future 2nd back.

    Didn't know that. 

    Has any club done that?  I recall that Hawks and Geel received an exemption to take a pick in the 4 year window but that is different to your suggestion.

    Would imagine a club needs a very good reason.

    I think it's theoretically possible, but as you suggest you'd need a good reason. i think there would be a good chance the AFL would feel it wasn't needed to get the deal done. 

    I suppose if we got a future second for Preuss we could theoretically do it?

    How about just pick 50, North don't want Ben Brown they made that clear to him.  The guy is damaged goods, he is to North what Tmac is to Melbourne

    Both have injury concerns and have been no where near their best for a while.  Tmac had the ability to get up the ground more where Brown is purely a hit up leading Full Forward.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
