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.

    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.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
