Campbell Brown to Port

[NWTYRX]

SEN will have a statement from Big Bad Mal Brown in a few minutes

Ordinary player anyway.

Love the Hawks. "No premiership player will be leaving." Guess one won't be coming in then. Melbourne or the Dons for Shaun.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Mal Brown to SEN ... "As far as I am aware, Campbell is contracted to Hawthorn, and will continue to play for them."

Very diplomatic.

All Hawks fans can relaX.

Ah yes, the paper has quoted what was said on radio, therefore whatever Kennett was saying is all true and straightforward.

It would want to be a false report, i'd have Brown in my side any day of the week, come hell or high water.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

So we could tie him down and beat the shit out of him every day?

To be fair, tying him down would be the only way anyone at Essendon would have a chance.

 

[damochandler]

well i am glad they have come to their senses here. gawd fair dinkum. i thought for what he said after the bombers game. but he is hawthorn through and through and i dont know why they would consider trading him

 

[THRILLHOU]

So when a newspaper reports a rumor that he's up for trade, it's reasonable to assume it's accurate, however when the club president denies said rumor, his comments should be dismissed?

In any case - I for one am happier than i was an hour ago!

Port are still talking to Brown- with Hawthorn's consent. I wouldn't get too comfortable.

Dunno what is true re some of the trade talk but this one has to be BS. Pick 9 and Brown? Pick 9 is enough. If Port don't want it then Hawthorn should stick with their premiership midfield and use the draft.

Not even close. Burgoyne is an established star, whose best is as good an anyone's. Has injury concerns, but if his body is well managed, he should have several more decent years in him.

Pick 9 on the other hand is (a) very hit or miss (b) a future prospect, as opposed to a top-up for another flag-tilt, which is where the Hawks are at.

Hutchy just called me, its happening! Welcome to Alberton BROWNY!!

Bollocks.

sarcasm? haha

 

[Binxy]

Yeah, he should have hung around him all arvo, then hop on radio as soon he gets off the ground to spray him

Another cutting remark - the wannabes are out today

Disagree. I’d love to get Burgoyne to Collingwood but he’s worth pick 6 to 10. Chuck in a fringe player if he suits the destination club. No skin off my nose as it doesn’t involve my club.

Burgoyne doesn’t just have injury concerns he has brain concerns. Burgoyne has talent but he is a lazy, self absorbed footballer. His best is very good. Not as good as the very best players in the comp but very good. His worst is concerning and his midpoints are too frequent.

This honestly smacks of Stevens except in the end one of the clubs will cave. Players are better advised, especially when not by family, and nominating Melbourne was a smart move.
