Traded Ben Brown [Traded to Melbourne with #28 and Future 4th Round Pick for #26, #33 and Future 4th Round Pick]

[the big lebowski]

Wow, didn’t think I’d entertain the prospect of trading a guy that’s kicked the most goals in the AFL over the last 3 years, but with North needing a rebuild, it must be looked at.

Clubs in contention should be falling over themselves to get him if possible. Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong (make an offer to package Brown and Goldy), even Richmond with Jack’s age.

Discuss.

 

[BigFatNorthFan]

Nope.

 

[Moeydw]

Would fill a massive hole but I can't see him being traded or if he was, us to be able to afford him.

 

[Red Bull]

Opposition clubs have found him out.
One trick pony.
28yo.
If North can unload him to a desperate club, they should.
Dodoro might bite if/when Joe hits the toe, they think they are in a premiership window, North should take advantage.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

The last few years have show he is enormously valuable in a side with another competent key forward as it frees him up to move up the ground (North have not had this in 2020 with Larkey being injured). A better midfield would probably give him a Coleman medal.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Jordan De Goey for Ben Brown trade would be of mutual benefit for both parties.

Rawlings leaving trade week ...

Could Ben Brown find a new home at Collingwood?

One former star believes Brown would be the ideal fit for the Magpies.

Not the key forward Collingwood are looking for.
No physical presence in his game whatsoever
He has really been found out this season when you take away his space.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Be interested if North could try interest Sydney in a potential swap for Papley ?

Form is temporary - posters wrote Goldy off in 2017 and he is right up with the best rucks in 2020.
They knew to take his space for the last 3 years - massive upgrade on cox.

That’s not saying much my friend....he’s delivering Cox like numbers at the moment

again...not the type of forward we need.

Every club in the comp would have a need for a 60 plus goal kicker.
We also don’t have the Pies midfield kicking it to him. Tipping he would much prefer leading to Pendles than our ball butchers.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I'd be shocked if Carlton don't have a look. Would be their first KPF that could consistently mark and kick goals since Fev.

We wouldn’t have the cap space to do it but at the same time, he only has one trick...which has been exposed badly this season.

 

[perplexed]

So are we ignoring the rest of his career and focusing on 7 games of Covidball? He has the same numbers as Jack Riewoldt this year, is he up for sale too?

Any prospective buyer isn’t buying him on what he has done
It’s what he is going to do moving forward.

unless he recaptures some serious form....his stocks will continue to fall.

A key forward who can’t contested mark in the modern game—-is Not as valuable

He isn't for sale. If the pies want a key forward, how about playing Darcy Moore where he was born to play?

Maybe—Darcy is a baller.

A team with better F50 delivery would really help with Ben Brown.

Do you see a north player and automatically put a line through them? Big chance this thread will haunt you like the Goldy one currently does.

I’ve suggested North may be able to score a 1st rounder from a desperate Dodoro for Brown.
That’s hardly putting a line through his value.
You need to seriously rebuild, you should have traded Goldy while you had Pruess.

 

[nahnah]

Yes please and chuck in Higgins while we’re shopping in the kangaroo aisle

(doubt we have the salary cap but oh well)

Maybe he is - but I don't know what that means.

 

[Jen2310]

I'd take him at the pies. It annoyed me how accurate and his lead up, last year. I wouldn't be thinking too much of his form this year. Its a strange year, this 2020.

Anyone that can kick more than 3-4 goals a game is a bonus in my book.
