3 year offer for Mitch Brown

[fugazi]

On the table apparently. Up against Pies

[matrix]

where'd you hear 3 years?

talk is he wants to come to us and not play with the filth

[Scollop]

AFL trade radio

[Animal Enclosure]

Media trying to get him to Pies!

Trade Week Radio reported the 3 year deal, trying to get Liam Pickering on the phone to confirm (Brown's manager)

i didnt here them say three years at all

is he actually any good?????

[fugazi]

yep trade radio....Plough reckons he'll ply 22 games for StK FC next year and that is a bigger carrot than playing with his brother where he'll be competing for a spot

[matrix]

god ploughs a plonker

wonder what we have to give to get that
cripps??

[Sainterman]

Just reported that he wants to join his brother at Collingwood on Facebook...which is it I wonder?

[savatage]

He would be a complete moron to join Collingwood. Talk about career suicide if that was the case.

wants to come to us, hopefully can be done

[SainterK]

Are his injuries behind him?

Not hugely excited about this one?

Reassurance anyone?

[jays]

should be good

[SainterK]

Do you think the appeal is working with Max?

His brother may of spoken highly about him, we all know he worked wonders with his brother at the pies

[savatage]

I reckon playing regular football is the appeal, St.Kilda would be a good fit for this reason & he's back in his home state.

This is it I reckon. He wants to play in his home state and play 22 games a season. That is why he's chosen the Saints, we're easily the best option for that, having no-one at the moment to compete directly for his spot. It's a win-win for both he and us - if he comes at the right price. Talking to some WCE supporters, they're expecting ridiculous compensation which includes the Goddard Compo.

Imagine if we believed everything said on Facebook...

[matrix]

imagine if we had a poll we couldve voted on it

[SainterK]

"He has suffered a horror injury run through six seasons on the West Coast senior list including a complete knee reconstruction and missed the entire 2008 season as well as a succession of hamstring problems and he spent two months of last year sidelined with a broken thumb"

Is this over hyped at all?

Unless they want Brown as a forward?

Cripps for Brown is good enough for me. Could be a win-win.

[Seaford_Saint]

This deal could be difficult to get over the line.....

IMHO there is no way the Eagles will accept a straight Brown / Cripps swap (I wouldn't). Similarly I would be disappointed if we gave up either 12 or 13 for Brown.

Perhaps something like Brown + WCE Pick #18 <------> Crips + StK Pick #12 might get the deal done

[defacto]

thats a terrible deal. thank god you dont work for the club.

at most player straight swap and a late pick. anything above that and were getting ripped off.
