Confirmed.

Sad to see Brown go. I think he'll be a very good player if he can get his body right. I was willing to spend time with him but happy to trade him if I got a trade I thought was decent.
Didn't want to trade Zeph either but let him go in the end.

Hopefully White can take a step next year. I think he's a lot better than he's been this year.
Richo and Whitecross are a bit of a gamble. Both could go on to be very good but could also crash and burn.
The picks improve my drafting possibilities. Better than using a 7th rounder.

cheers D2C. Hope Brown lives up to his potential mate.

Really hope I haven't made a rash decision here. You kind of focus your attention around one player and then when other decent pieces of the deal go the other way I guess I can overlook them.

Obvious who I have done this deal for so lets just hope the big fella can stay out on the park. Extremely highly rated by myself being a top 15 pick from a few years back, I expect big things out of Brown.

You can't polish a turd though Pinny.

And by that I mean, how many genuine high-value players do I have on my list?

I count Hurley, NicNat, Gaff, Jacobs and possibly Stokes and Martin given both are averaging above 90 in tough to find positions.

I'm not a manager who goes out and actively shops his guns around, but I am one who is happy to discuss a trade if someone comes to me with an offer.

Have had big offers for NicNat of late, but one in particular was just offering a few goodish players for him. And when I'm dealing with my most valuable player, I don't want to trade him out for quantity, as that's what has landed me in trouble before and destroyed my list.

I'd love to make some big trades, but the fact is rarely do I receive an offer for one of my guns, its basically me who initiates all my dealings.

I appreciate your concern Pinny, but I'm quite happy with what I've done with my list over the past 12 months. I don't see all of my trades being for average players Jacobs, Grigg, Gwilt and now Brown are all either very good players or I believe will become very good players. And all I have received in the past 3 weeks or so.

Just to add to that as well, I'm somewhat proud that I've been able to take my team that finished 13th last year to a finals berth this year, without losing youth IMO.

I'm far from the top group of coaches in this comp, but I'm more than happy with how I'm travelling at the moment, even if I'm not trading my guns out for any old average deal that gets thrown my way.

So yeah, maybe in the end its a bit of a fear to trade my very best out? I dunno.

Also I think pulling the trigger on Buddy Franklin a few weeks back could probably be seen as making a big move? :P
