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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
