Get Jonathan Brown!!!

[Supreme_Demon 3,749]

G'day Fellow Demons Supporters!

I seriously think we should try and move heaven and earth to snare Jonathan Brown from the Brisbane Lions.

Stuff the filthy Magpies trying to get him! :angry:

Imagine what a coup for the MFC it would be if we had Jonothan Brown playing for us next year?!

Better the Chri$ Judd(ollars) who decided to "rub salt into the wound" for Carlton against us yesterday! <_<

Anyways, I'm not saying that we will get him..but we should atleast TRY to get him!

Considering the bloke has talked every Brisbane player that even thought about leaving into staying (with the exception of Aka) it would be very hypocritical for him to leave himself.

he ain't going nowhere!

[praha 11,236]

He's not leaving Brisbane.

Get Jonothan Brown....Into your dreamteam's!!! (not this week, but in a week or 2)

his value has dropped massively to 315,000 and has a break even score of 82 this week (meaning he could drop even further if he gets below 82 points).

If you've got any cash cows be prepared to sell them in a week or two.

A clever trade imo would be Cyril Rioli for J.Brown in 2 weeks time.

Rioli has increased his value to 220,000, and he is still climbing in value. in 2 weeks his value could be about to platuea at around 260,000. Brown will not increase in value much over the next 2 weeks because the values are based on 3 week rolling averages, and this week he scored only 29! for an extra 50,000 you can gain yourself JBrown, who surely will start to improve over the course of the season

[joeboy 3,163]

Should we put all our eggs into 1 basket and go for broke , or just go broke ?

[LeBron James 41]

Screw Brown. Go with the number 1 draft pick.

[Mousey 47]

I would rather number 1 draft pick cause he is getting on, probably 3 or so years left in him i think i heard him say, rather the best of the best young talent

[Gouga 566]

Must use the number one pick.

[Jarka 767]

West Coast wasn't able to get their hands on the number 1 pick even with Chris Judd as bait, so no, Brown is not worth the number one pick.

[Nasher 33,607]

At the ripe old age of 26?

I'd take Brown for Pick #1 in a heartbeat.

[Swampfox 190]

Nothing stopping us from getting both is there ?

[Gouga 566]

Yep. The fact Brown will never leave Brisbane.

[Demon Disciple 12,064]

Stuff trading for him. If he is was to leave Brissy, and come to us, there would be just as much chance as getting him through the PSD (which is none at all).

Sure we would be screwing over the Lions, but i'm sick and tired of being the nice club. They screwed us over in the TJ deal. It should have been pick 8 for TJ (with us paying some f his salary) or pick 14 for TJ and no payments.

Screw the Lions over as they screwed us. (I re-iterate that there's no chance of getting brown)

[Adzman 2,154]

Brown will not leave the lions. And if he did have a brainfade and walk, we should sit pretty at the bottom of the ladder and see what happens. #1 pick and a free browny would be enough for me to pay for 3 years membership up front.

Browny in red and blue will not happen.

#1 pick, that is a different story!

The state of our football club, I doubt any big named player would even think about jumping ship... I would be far more happier driving to the lexus centre than Casey aswell.. Looking as we will finish last, we would have the draft picks to deal for a big name player. Would we want Johno Brown at a price? Or even Fev? Throw in a Ben Cousins and I could see Melbourne FC turing around pretty quickly. Look what Chris Judd has done to Carlton. Two quality players would make a huge difference (atleast 6+goals) a game. The issue would be we could miss out on a Jack Watts who could gives a 10+ years and become the next Johno Brown, who prob has 5 years left in him.. Money would be anther problem, i doubt we could offer the big $. In my option i would keep building, and go with the kids. We need to bring out the best in the kids we have/draft. I can see the light with our club.

I think it was a fair call - Brown won't pull a Bradley/Harvey.

[Hannabal 4]

1. Brown won't leave.

2. He wouldn't choose the Dees even if he did want to leave.

3. I'd rather keep pick 1. I reckon Brown's body is the equivalent to a 30 year old's with the injuries he's had and the crash and bash nature of the game he's played. Brereton was finished as a decent footballer at 26. Lyon's back was stuffed at 28.

No thanks.

[Hazyshadeofgrinter 80]

Money would be anther problem, i doubt we could offer the big $.

Without wanting to really wade into the debate over whether this would be possible/likely/desirable I thought I might point out that (despite the club debt) the money factor is actually one thing that could work in our favour in such a scenario, given that Brisbane are probably straining under their salary cap whereas we will be retiring a lot of our more expensive players and running with a bunch of cheap kids...

[Vipercrunch 2,823]

Brisbane wouldn't be all that tight in the cap would they? No Voss, plenty of veterans to ease things up. They have a pretty young list also. I doubt they are under much pressure at all.

I would say no to Brown if it meant we lost 1st pick in the draft. At any other price I would probably go fo it, but its a very unlikely scenario.

[The Time is Now 4]

He is building a 2 million dollar house in Brisbane with his girlfriend, he’s not going anywhere.

Look, If J.Brown was 22 or 23, the heirarchy might condsider it. The fact he's nearly 27, he would be a huge risk. I think we have seen the best of him. It would be at a huge cost. Better to keep Picks 1 and 17,18. Keep developing. Bailey wants the list from 18-24 yold.

List management: OUT: Neitz (retired), Holland, Weetra. UP FOR TRADE (target another early draft pick): Bruce, Jamar, Petterd, Yze or White and pick 18.

Sure, maybe trade a Bruce (29) in order to receive perhaps a first round draft pick at best 14 or 15. You won't get better than that. The Bulldogs, Swans or even Saints might top up.

AIM: to have pick 1, anywhere from pick 8-13 and picks 17, 33 heading into the draft.

would be great to have, but simply too old... trading for brown would be a half measure... might get us to the finals, but will we be ready for a grand final tilt while he's still around playing his best footy? i wouldn't think so...

I'd rather get a Porpylzia than J.Brown. But Adelaide have chained him down, so that is out of the question. Where is Pavlich at? When does his contract expire?

gee that's fascinating thanks for that
