Ben brown officially on the market. Guy kicked 60 + goals three years in a row, he’s no mug. North would probably want a first rounder though

It’s interesting. JD had one 60+ goal year, didn’t play hardly any footy the following 2 seasons and was still worth 2 first rounders.
I know BB doesn’t have the X factor of a JD but on the metric of goal kicking he’s far superior based on both of their best 3 seasons ( and career over all ).
They will probably get a first round pick for him, just not from us.

Essendon imposed a 'favourite son' tax, whereas North are holding a fire sale.
I guess the question is: why did Brown slump so much this year?
That goalscoring record is compelling. But for me, I just don't see that kind of player fitting in at the Swans - I think we want our forwards to be more versatile in how they win the ball and kick goals.
I hope we get one of Danher or Brown.
I doubt we will give up Pick 3 for any player. I think we will continue with youth to keep the rebuild going. Besides I can't see how we can afford the the amounts they would want.

Maybe he cracked them because Shaw wanted him to play as a key defender. I think he would go alright.
Brown is a one trick pony, and has never kicked goals against us because we know how to counter his one trick.
Ben Brown is not a good idea for us unless we can get him for a low draft pick. Let's just be patient. Bring in the 2 Academcy boys and best available at Pick 3/4. This is the best option given our list profile at present. Interestingly, Ross Lyon just said on Footy Classfied that we are closer to our next flag than Carlton!
We are still building the foundation of our next golden era. Buying in mature talent from elsewhere should wait for at least one more year.
