We would probably only be able to get one so who would you want? Personally I would go for Brown, because if we want another good midfielder we can take Cousins.
Daniel Kerr or Jonathan Brown

Jonathan Brown for sure. We've already got a good midfield so if we had Brown and Fev getting delivery like last week's game against the pies, not many defences are going to be able to stop them!

Is this a dream team question? otherwise wtf? I know theres some talk about Kerr coming to melbourne but BadSeed said it..."oh my lord"...Whats the deal with JB though?

Jonathan Brown and Fev would be unstoppable. Can't ever see him leaving Brisbane though.

No need to worry which one we would go for as there is no chance of either of them playing for Carlton. Browny won't be leaving Brisbane and all this talk of Kerr wanting to play with Carlton is just that - talk !!

I'd prefer a tough-nut defender.
I think this is a topic which will should be considering at the end of the year, not 4 weeks in, although Ratten says Fevola is a required player throuout 2008 and beyond, his contract is up at the end of this year, If "The Fev" does leave Carlton at the end of the year definately take J. Brown, but is Fev stays take D. Kerr, would be awesome to see Kerr and Juddy playin together at Carlton.

Rather develop our squad so I will nominate the great D Ellard
just say if j.brown out of some miracle decided he no longer wanted to stay in brisbane....... the only club who i can see possibly vying for his services would be the filth (the black and white type of filth) and AS IFFFFFFFFFF he'd go there. Otherwise i think the other club that i could possibly see him going to is geelong but im not to sure how they would work around their salary cap. As for Kerry im all for that but i wouldnt say our club is desperate for him we have a pretty decent midfield outfit already.

J.Brown.
End fof thread.

No, we would probably only be able to get none.
Doubt either would leave but hypothetically.....
I'd take Jonathon Brown. We have a gun midfield which is full of young starletts that will become elite players of the competition. I'm not too keen on Kerr's off-field mentality either, especially seeing as we have such a young side. I know he's a great player but i think it's a bit too risky.
Also, you can correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think Juddy would be too keen on playing with any of his former Eagle teammates seeing as he wanted to get away from the club due to the culture of the players. Just a thought.

Judd can't change your team but cousins, judd, brown and fevola would definitely give posotive results.
Danathan...Scarlett. On that, what big name not too old defenders are on offer this year?

Hypothetically ... Brown. Reality .... neither. Judd is on almost a million a year while our next highest paid player is on less than 500k. Brown would command as much as Judd and there is no way on god's green earth we should pay a third of our salary cap on 2 players. If they got injured the quality in the rest of the team would have been affected. We need balance and we don't want to lose players and put bit players around two megastars. It will be to our long term detriment.

THE Brisbane Lions expect Collingwood to launch a massive bid for their off-contract champion Jonathan Brown.
While confident of retaining Brown, the Lions expect Collingwood soon to offer the captaincy, huge dollars and several options on a career beyond playing as enticement to transfer.
Collingwood lobbied hard for Brown, 26, the last time he was coming out of contract, in 2005, offering a package of more than $1 million a year.
After the retirements of Nathan Buckley, James Clement and Paul Licuria, the Pies have even more room to move in their salary cap this year.
Brown, a triple premiership centre half-forward with the Lions, is weighing up many options, and is known to place extreme importance on the pursuit of more flags.
If he believes Brisbane, which has not finished higher than 10th in the past three years after making four consecutive Grand Finals, is reloading for another flag tilt, he will likely stay.
Magpies president Eddie McGuire refused to comment yesterday about an approach to Brown.
"There is no comment because there is nothing happening," McGuire said.
Asked if, as the Lions expect, Collingwood would soon consider approaching Brown's management, he said: "There is no comment."
Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert said: "We haven't had any discussions (with Brown). We would always be open and always have been open to a discussion with any player or their manager if they wanted to come and talk to the Collingwood Football Club."
"Whether we weigh it up as something we wanted to take forward, or even if we were in a position to take it forward, that depends on the dynamics of our team mix and our situation with draft picks," Pert said.
"But there is no serious discussions of that regard at this stage."
Brown, who played for South Warrnambool seniors at 15, as well as Geelong under-18s, will captain the Victorian team in the AFL's Hall of Fame game against a Dream Team at the MCG on May 10.
Collingwood, a preliminary finalist last year, is tipped to finish high on the ladder this season. That will not help with its trading options for Brown, should he decide to leave the Lions.
Another dilemma is the strong possibility of the introduction of a form of free agency by the end of 2010, to coincide with the entry to the national competition of a team on the Gold Coast.
Brown will need to decide his future by October. Trade week is held early that month, and October 31 is the cut-off for clubs to list contracted players for the following season.
Under AFL rules, an uncontracted player can nominate an asking price before nominating for the national and pre-season drafts.
Brown's management, Brisbane-based Velocity Sports, said it would be making no public comment on the issue and no time frame had been placed on its resolution.
Lions chief executive Michael Bowers said: "You know our club policy. We do not comment on contracts."
Brown could not be contacted yesterday, but said two weeks ago on The Footy Show "the percentages" favoured him staying with Brisbane.
