I would love them to. He would be branded the biggest girl in AFL history, cracking the sads and standing out for a year. It's a pretty soft option really.

wouldnt ge get sacked then? lose hundreds of thousands of dollars because of hissy fit? haha yeh ok
 
Well I'm basing it on the small chance that he's told them that.

Which in turn is based on either (a) the aforementioned internet scuttlebutt, or (b) your aforementioned massive leap in logic.

I'm basing my opinion on the overwhelming likelihood that Brown isn't a complete and utter idiot.

OR

You do what other clubs who have facilitated trades for current contracted players this draft period already have done and get smart and get what you can.

Right now Browne is surplus to your needs. Not in starting 22 and from some reports no world beater - tbh I was hopeful we'd do Stefan Martin who can also play back, for Ray...anyway.

Cripps wants to go to WA
Browne wants to go to Vic
Work out the picks, stop being ridiculous and trade.

Then you wont get screwed as we did when we got cute over Luke Ball (thanks Ross..)

Maybe it was a done deal but you guys couldn't spell his name correctly on the paperwork...
 
Hahaha

The reason no player has EVER sat out a year and walked into the PSD is because its really dumb, unprofessional and potentially career threatening behavior.

Saints fans suggesting that this 0% chance is a "strong rumour" are hilariously pathetic.

Take your wet dreams to your own board, and seriously, if your going to play pretendies why not go bigger, I hear a strong rumour that Buddy Franklin is coming the the saints for, oh, let's say, a second rounder

Haha
 
Brown would be a fool to sit on the sidelines all next year considering the Eagles are an injury to a KPP away from him playing in a premiership contending team. He should remember there are always fairytales in premiership teams just ask Mitch Morton, Richard Hadley, Steven Armstrong just to name a few. He'll stay and extend next season after Glass sits him down and he tells him hes handing him the CHB position for 2014

Some pathetic 12 year old saints loser, offended from WCs failure to hand over a contracted player for SFA, made up a load of impossible bullshit. If he wasn't a ****ing imbecile, he might understand some of many reasons why it's never happened. Ever. Not once.

And now you basing thread posts on the WC board on it. Top work, champ.

If you think there's 0% chance of Brown coming to St Kilda then you must be in denial buddy. I'm not claiming any of that as fact, but the facts are Brown asked to be traded. I'm not overly optimistic of him ending up here but you're basically putting your fingers in your ears and going "lalalalalala"

For next season there is 0% chance, unless you pay massive overs.

See what you did there was you deliberately lied about what I said and then debunked it. It's what desperate losers do when they are being humiliated in a debate.

I said what was a 0% chance of happening was Brown sitting out a year. Likewise, what is a 0% chance of happening is his manager telling him to piss his career down the drain by doing so.

In fact, the exact opposite has actually happened. Pickers was in the media saying that if a deal couldn't be done Brown will play on for WC like the professional he is.

Who's saying there's a 0% chance of him ending up at St Kilda? The post you quoted never said that.

You're the one saying West Coast should trade him because he may threaten to sit out of footy otherwise. There's a 0% chance of that happening.

It's almost time to close this thread. What do you think Fivey? Surely the word of our list manger is good enough for us.

Well actually he could sit out next year. Of course, the eagles wouldn't pay him, and it would cost him him his quarter of a million dollar salary. And Pickers wouldn't get his cut either.

I'm sure they are both very keen to do that to teach the Eagles a trade lesson.
 
Classy stuff mate.

Classy? I was going to bite my tongue and say nothing but you want to play that game. All week you have been calling Vozzo an "arrogant prick" and making posts on your own board stating you hope you screw us over in a trade and all sorts of bile i won't bother to comment on. Why are you here Tom? Are you that offended that we are choosing to keep a contracted player because your dirty rabble of a club is in need of him so much so that you targeted him while contracted? Talk about fricking low. Do you think Pickering came to you? Please, piss off back to your own board where you can go back to insulting Vozzo and dreaming of screwing us over.

Fair enough, I was harsh on Vozzo, I take that back. I may have made one comment on how I hope you get ripped off (can't remember exactly) but that's not exactly an awful thing to say.
 
Hmm interesting on the saints board. Saw a few brown for cripps deals with the odd person throwing in a 3rd rounder. At least they have decency/intelligence not to suggest it on the WCE's board.

Tit for tat Tom. You have a go at one of ours on our own board and i am going to defend them. Especially considering some of the things you have said about our club recently. I understand you may be frustrated that we don't want to trade Brown but that is because he is very much required. We are trying to win a premiership next year and Brown is practically the only good back-up we have for Glass and Mackenzie.
With Lynch going he might even see games up forward from time to time. KPP players don't grow on trees, especially of Brown's calibre and trust me all the games he played this year he was serviceable to good. If Glass retires next year then Brown is the instant successor for the HB role. We may lose him next year but then again we may not and this is the stance of the club. If you offered something obscene for him then of course we would have to consider it but as it stands he is a valuable piece to us trying to win the whole darn thing. Premierships don't come around too often Tom and i would prefer we had the best possible list for next year regardless of what problems may arise at the end of the year.

This is the clubs position, our supporters position and what Pickering says or Brown wants isn't the only factor. We signed him up, he agreed and now he must honour that contract unless St Kilda are prepared to make an offer to good to refuse.

Whether you like it or not the player doesn't always get what he wants and if clubs were to try and target contracted players every year and persuade them to walk out then i would be inclined to say your club and i mean no disrespect, would find itself behind a fair few more powerful clubs with better facilities, more supporters, better sponsors etc.

Is this where you want to see football head? Players controlling the whole thing? It's done wonders for the NBA. Some common sense needs to be applied from time to time.
