Traded Ben Brown [Traded to Melbourne with #28 and Future 4th Round Pick for #26, #33 and Future 4th Round Pick]

[Johnny Bananas]

Daniher to Brisbane, so they're out of the race too.

Who's left? Collingwood and Essendon?

Would be foolish for them to still consider themselves a genuine premeirship chance next year with their only decent KPF leaving, a top 10 player in Saad gone... They will probably hit the draft hard with roughly 3x 1st rounders, leaving us as the only suitor for Brown

I think Essendon will be going for local boy Peter Wright. Geelong might be a competitor for Brown, since they were linked to Daniher. They could go for Cameron too but I reckon he'll stay at Giants.

Peter Wright could be good.

The key here is age profile, you don't want to end up in shambles like North's list by rebuilding a year too late, and trading out all the valuable players at a huge discount.

Funny thing is, a tall, strong marking, straight kicking, out of favour key forward is exactly the type of player that the Roos would and should be chasing.

Agree, if only we had one this year.

I don't know why but I feel we should try and get Phillips from the Pies

Man we just delisted 11 shitmen, I'd hope we've learnt our lesson when it comes to recruiting other clubs sloppy seconds.

Assuming both clubs finish in the same position next year, that trade puts Brown’s worth at Pick 7 using the Draft Calculator.

Nobody gives a shit about points. There’s no way any club is going to give up two top 10 picks for Brown, regardless of the points value you give them back.

 

[BigFatNorthFan]

They're going to want the best young talent they can get from a Brown trade. Diluting whatever draft pick they can get with other clubs cast offs would be pointless

Wow, a sane post. How rare in these parts.

 

[Instincts]

Since Collingwood is most likely going to get him IMO, what would be the most they would be willing to give up for him? They have NGA this year around a mid-first rounder and wouldn't want to lose out on that player (If McInnes were to be bidded at pick 7 let's say Collingwood would need 260 points to match if they got rid of their first rounder this year.)

Not a reliable source, I heard he is anti fremantle journalist. FACT Based on BF forum.

I don't understand why Freo would want him since they already have Hogan, Lobb and Taberner

More like Collingwood LEAST likely to get him.
They'll miss out on Brown and get 2MP.

Barrett's Sliding Doors bit of rubbish this morning on AFL.com is also suggesting Melbourne is possible. Our first pick this year is currently 23... how about 23 and Oscar Mac?

You may have answered your own question.

They might be moving Hogan on.

Dees firming for B Brown.

Your dreaming, has met with Pies at least twice already. He'll go to a BIG club.

Barrett spewing that in his stupid little column doesn't equate to Dees firming.

Well aren't you a sensitive little Pies supporter.

 

[Prochard123]

Think although Brown is going to rue the day he goes to Melbourne with all of Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney trolling him by kicking the ball 20 metres away from him...

BUT, he can still provide tremendous value to Melbourne and is a decent upgrade on Mcdonald

We also got a guy called Petracca.

He's 100% anti Fremantle, a troll.

I'm a bit indifferent on Brown. It is worth noting though that he shares the same manager as Brodie Mihocek apparently. Pretty sure they've said Brown hasn't met Pies personally (due to COVID) so I'm not sure how we could categorically say the meetings between Pies and BB manager haven't been about Mihocek's new deal and not BB.
