Sounds like it.We're going to get screwed on the trade table again.
Do you mean reserving the right of choosing your club to players that have played for 10+ years? (or something similar?). Also its my opinion that not every player gets to choose where they go, that is reserved for special cases.
Demand 13 from the Saints this trade period, if not ship him to the highest bidder next year with the potential to change his mind.
We need to be more ruthless at the trade table. Also its my opinion that not every player gets to choose where they go, that is reserved for special cases.
Knowing us, if he REALLY wants out, we will take pick 492 and a pack of chicken twisties, which we know are the worst ones.
It isn't about going home, he just wants opportunities. St Kilda are the only team crying out for a KPD.

I'll grant you Port, none of the others are desperate for key defenders."Only team" ? You mean besides Freo, Port, Brissie, Bullies, Melb, Cats & Doggies dont

Bulldogs, doggies...
1) No they're not.1) Rubbish - all the teams I mentioned are seeking KPP's some more than others
2) The only reason I seem to hear from Saints supporters is that "We need a KPP, Brown says he wants to come & if you dont trade him now then he will walk next year & WC will get nothing ". What a crock of shit. First of all WC are not about trading a contracted player if its not in their interests. Second they will back themselves to change Browns mind in 2013 & if not then they will have a number of clubs interested in him
I think its time you guys stopped being naive, this is not a charity its a business.
And by the way, if Brown will be worth nothing next year because he's out of contract, then Cripps should be free this year cause he's out of contract now - right?

Why would West Coast back themselves to change his mind? From the sound of it he hasn't had any second thoughts. You won't call Brown's bluff if the rumours about what he said are true.1) Rubbish - all the teams I mentioned are seeking KPP's some more than others

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..)

No, from Pickering saying again and again that Brown told him he doesn't want to be at West Coast next year.From the sound of what? Internet scuttlebutt?
He's just given a "I love it here" speech after winning our best clubman award, and he's just got engaged to a girl who's contracted to play netball for a WA-based team next year.
In the face of that, it'd take some fairly persuasive evidence to convince me that he's actually threatened to sit out a year of AFL footy if he doesn't get traded to Victoria.

I'm just saying from what Pickering said, Brown doesn't sound open to negotiation.It's a massive leap from Pickering's statements to "I'll sit out of footy if I don't get traded".

No I don't, but I don't think West Coast would take that chance.West Coast don't sound open to negotiation - did you hear Craig Vozzo on the radio earlier in the week? In a nutshell, it was "He's not being traded, we can stop talking about it".
Brown's options are limited, he's contracted for 2013. Do you seriously expect him to sit out of senior footy in a fit of pique and hope the Saints are still interested in 12 months time based on his form at East Freo?
No I don't, but I don't think West Coast would take that chance.
