He's perfect for your game style sit him full forward and let him lead for it, Hipwood CHF.
If we were to lose Daniher, I'd give up the compo we receive for Brown and walk away fairly happy.
Daniher barely on the park, Brown will try his guts out week-in week-out. Covers the ground, contests and takes contested marks and kicks goals. Even if he doesn't do many 1%ers which I don't necessarily agree with, I'll take his 99% game of leading, marking, kicking goals.
It would be refreshing to have somebody up front week-in week-out. If a team takes Daniher ahead of Brown, good luck to them. I honestly hope they both do well, I love key forwards and finals footy always shows their worth. Whether it's Hawkins not getting the job done, Cox getting the Pies off to a flyer or Darling and Kennedy pegging it back.

this makes total sense.
I was thinking Brown + 9 > 6 + 2021 R1 might work for you, probably still get yourself DGB(7)+ O’Driscoll(9) + Brown. Which I reckon would be massive win win for both teams.
He kicks straight. Imagine having someone who consistently converts the opportunities your midfield creates!!

Which is very different to what he's actually worth.
We paid a 1st round pick for Cameron Wood because we "needed a ruck", does that mean he deserved the price tag?
No it's not. He just doesn't fill a need for us so no need to go after him. He is still worth a mid first rounder for any team seeking a forward
Stringer was pick 25 and 30, Brown worth more than Stringer.Ye but this values Brown as a 1st round pick??
I'd hesitate to go top 10, depending who we had our eye on (I'm not a draft watcher), but 10-20 I'd be comfortable with.
this is why pies want him. hard runner, makes space

Not for our first. Particularly as north told him to find a new home. I'd do our 2nd.

Think he ends up at Melbourne.
Nth supporters what do you actually want for him the relationship is over he is gone.
Would Pies 2021 1st Round pick and Phillips for Brown and Higgins get it done?

At Browns stage in his career, why would he go to Melbourne? Surely wants to play finals & potentially win a flag before his time is up...

They did finish 9th could push for finals next season.
Not sure Brown can be to picky the way things sound.
The whole “relationship” narrative is an interesting one.. what exactly is this based on? The fact his manager went public about the fact North took their original overly generous offer off the table? Or the fact North responded publicly to Browns managers comments saying we’d look for a mutually beneficial deal?
North are taking the rebuild direction and aren’t open to offering senior players big long term deals. Theyre also looking at bringing in additional picks by trading some senior players with currency (Brown, Higgins, Polec).
My personal view (based on nothing but my own opinion), is we’d accept a first round pick for Brown.
This isn’t a Higgins thread, however I still think he’s a 50/50 given the fact he’s contracted and 32 (so whose going to offer anything significant?). I think we’d accept something in 20-30 for Higgins, however anything later, he’s worth more to us in leadership and support of the kids.

Phillips? If you mean the Collingwood player, he has no value in any trade at all unless it's as a cap dump. Maybe give us a 2nd for him.
If you mean Will, find a way to get him and it's a deal.

You’re pretty foolish if you honestly think Phillips has no value.
Weird that the posters throwing up Phillips in potential trade scenarios are Collingwood posters.. especially when he apparently has so much value.
North will want pick/s for Brown. North will have no interest in Phillips.

And cameron
He has a value, all contracted players do. His isnt to play footy, you know that.

How do you plan to replace the 10-12 players you've lost?
All rookies with half of them being late picks or mediocre players, you choose.
I mean you could be well set up for a proper rebuild had you traded Brown/Goldstein/Higgins last year, but you didn't. And now you have lost 3-5 1st round picks you could've had haha
They are a dead set shambles. Will have to rely on delisted free agents.
They won't attract anyone. Anyone that signs up to that ridiculous club will only kill off their own career.
