Don't worry about it mate, I was told Judd was going to Carlton in July, that same person is now telling me it's highly unlikely he will leave, but if he does, it won't be to Carlton. They're hopeful, but that's it.

When you're guessing - or hoping - you win some,you lose some
I'd like to see Brownie and Judd,not to mention Fev,fitted into one salary cap situation

You'd have to give us a lot more than your trash to get Brown even though he's ready to sign
What's wrong with that deal?
Our first pick this year could be a top ten pick. Ben Reid was a pick eight in the 'superdraft' and has shown some good signs, despite being very young. Maxwell is a decent player that would be a regular and plug a gap for a few years. Rusling has shown some great promise, but has been cut down with injuries. Or a second rounder in a supposedly good draft.
Good luck getting anything significantly better than that for a 27 year power forward. History shows us that they don't play much after 30, Carey and Brereton for example.

As with any other big name trade, Brown's value is dependent upon the circumstances.
He is uncontracted, so that pushes his price down.
Brisbane will probably finish above at least 4 Victorian teams, so that pushes his price down.
Chris Judd said he would play in 2008 in Victoria. He then demanded to go to one club. This lowered his price and limited his original club's options.
As it stands, Jonathon Brown has said nothing. He might be tempted by a longer contract elsewhere. He might be tempted by a bigger contract elsewhere. He might be tempted by the same contract in Victoria. If he says 'I'm leaving (and potentially 'trade me to club X')' it will be the Chris saga all over again. If he says he is open to offers it will become a bidding war.

Yeah because this is what I said r.e. a possible Riewoldt trade:

Got any more there peanut?
The obsession with out-of-contract Lions' players is quite flattering. 6 months ago opposition supporters were falling over themselves with the prospect of Adcock not re-signing, Charman not re-signing, and Brennan not re-signing. Not to mention Selwood, Clark, Drummond, McGrath, and Hooper. Whoops! The year before it was Sherman, Rischitelli, Bradshaw, and Notting. This year we have seen Clark and Roe so far. And there will be others.
All the players you have mentioned wouldn't get a game for us. Next.
If JB was to be traded, based on Brisbane's failure to offer him a 5 year deal (which is almost certainly an ambit claim by Warry anyway), wouldn't the aspiring club have to be offering him 5 years?
If so, how many otherwise eligible clubs would be prepared to do that?

This is a thread is about what is he worth? Not whether he will leave or not.

. After the Aaron Hammill debacle & the modern day footy obsession with youth no one will offer JB a 5 year deal worth 6 - 6.5 mil. It would be list suicide.JB Only has 3 or 4 (tops) more good years in him. My prediction is a 3 year deal worth 3.5 mil.
By the way does anyone know if players or clubs can use player/club options in contracts as incentives to sign shorter deals. That is say JB wanted a 4 year deal however the Lions only wanted to offer him 3, could the lions draft an option into the contract allowing the Lions an option of signing him for a further year or for JB to alternatively opt out. These are big in the NBA.
well he'll never play for collingwood according to afl.com.au
We can fit them in the same salary cap coz Swannie told every1 on the radio we can afford another big name player!!
Is that a joke? Or are youjust plain ignorant?
Ben Reid, as mentioned, was pick 8 in the superdraft, surely such a player would have a long future at any AFL club. Maxwell, I agree he is trash and Rusling would definitely complement Bradshaw and Brown with his pace and hard leads.
just curious, when did the site say this?

Brown will be three years older than Judd was when traded.
That would be a factor.

who can really trade that much for a 27yr old crash and bang, old school CHF with a history of injuries?
great player that he is, who'd want to bet too much on that form continuing. especially when you consider how slow out of the blocks he's been this year.
Brisbane can't give him a 5yr deal, and a Victorian club can't give him that either - unless they justify the cash on the basis that they're picking him up for free in the PSD. which Brown won't do, as that won't further his career and success objectives.
so if it comes to that, he'll stay in brisbane.
he's just too old, too injury prone, showing signs of slowing down - you can't sensibly bet the farm on him. Unless I guess you're hawthorn or Collingwood who think he might take them over the top in the next 2 - 3 seasons max. even then, big risk.

You tell us of for naming supposed duds like Leon Davis
but then you think VFL fillers like Sherman and Rischitelli will get a trade done. haha
As much as you guys need him Gunnar, he is no hope of heading West as he won't go to a club that can't win a flag in the next 3-4 years.
When was the last time he was suspended?
How is he showing signs of slowing down?
Before the Geelong game, when was the last time he was injured?
