Campbell Brown to Port

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Apparently Campbell Brown has been offered to Port along with pick 9 as part of the Burgoyne trade.

Interesting.

 

[thegrach]

Cough, bullshit, cough.

 

[damochandler]

why would they trade him away. some how i dont think burgoyne will be traded. he is going to the preseason draft

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

The Hawthorn Board has been in meltdown since last night over this story, really seems to have divided some fans. As for Rucci what an idiot,it is believed 'he has fallen out of favour over his actions in the Essendon game', does anyone really buy that because I don't. I would suggest that he probably doesn't fit into our team structure going foward as much as other players and has currency at the trade table.

AND TO THINK I JUST RENEWED MY MEMBERSHIP!

This is another Croad scenario, and the board will burn if this goes through. Pull your heads in HFC, Brown is Hawthorns single toughest player and losing him is going to be disastrous.

 

[Chazz Michaels]

Port accepted.

Brown, 26, was put up for trade last night, AdelaideNow reports.

The Power eagerly accepted the offer - and will spend the next 24 hours convincing Brown to move to Alberton.

If Brown agrees to the trade, the Power will secure Hawthorn's first-round draft pick (No. 9) and Brown in return for midfielder Burgoyne who quit Port last month.

Should't be hard to convince him. Why stay at a club that doesn't want you?

Big mistake Hawks. Brown is an AWESOME player.

Hawthorn got stooged in this deal if you ask me.

 

[Johnson#26]

Disgraceful by Hawthorn. Their supporters have every right to be livid with this. I'd love Brown at Collingwood.

 

[The Fireman]

Been listening to the radio ..many Hawk fans are threatening to burn their memberships.
Maybe you guys need to have a chat with Tige supporters, they know how to show their club that they won't "take" any shit.......

And look how that turned out. Cough Hodge, cough Mitchell. Everyone needs to relax until something is official!

 

[Zahki]

Stone Cold of Hawthorn to offer up such a loyal player to get a mercenary like Burgoyne. Ideally you'd say there's no room for sentimentality when you're trying to build the best team possible, but geez, harsh.

 

[On the bench]

If this is true it would be interesting to hear from Hawthorn how they believe they would be better placed with Shaun Burgoyne rather than holding on to pick 9 & Campbell Brown?

 

[Teak_Pies]

Pelchen has lost the plot

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Apparently Brown is Peeved and is having a meeting with Clarkson this morning.
Any club want a tough defender?

 

[Teak_Pies]

I can't believe how stupid Pelchen can be

 

[Hencho]

If Brown's actions in the now infamous Ess vs Haw Rd22 2009 match are the reasons for off loading him then that is disgraceful. Going by that standard, Clarkson should be moved on too given his outburst towards Lloyd.

 

[WALL-e]

Campbell is apparently pissed.

 

[Cap]

damn that is a great pick up for the Power if it goes through.

Hawks lose a tough defender and gain a down hill skier (I don't say that as an insult either, for me it just means a guy who is going to kill you in attack but can be suspect when your team is down, every team needs a couple of down hill skiers)

Was'nt it his outburst to Jobe Watson?

 

[thegrach]

My apologies tiger of old, seems it is not only an offer but has been almost stitched up. Pretty suprising stuff!

 

[Monkhorst]

Burgoyne is very over-rated, dont think he is worth much at all. Brown is one of the toughest players going around and would love him at my club the pies. Wat are HFC thinking? Pick 9 and Brown? Silly Silly trade.

 

[damochandler]

Campbell is apparently pissed.

he should be pissed at this

 

[vinum coupe]

I'm amazed at the value offered. ie. Brown + pick 9

But let's face it, Brown is a medium quality player and a thug. He'll fit right in at Port.

 

[Wood_Duck]

he should be pissed at this

This would have to be one of the more bizarre trades of all time. Are we missing something here, is there more to this story, has Brown shagged someones wife or something?

 

[RizzoTheRat]

If the Essendon game has anything to do with it I would be amazed. No club could be that hypocritical!

they must be desperate to get burgoyne. even to give up one the faces of the club. it smells like the croad trade to freo in 2001 a bit here
