3 x years over 60 goals, one bad year and gone.
Ruthless or stupid?

Just told my 17 yo North Melbourne supporting son get ready for three years of pain

I advised him to have no expectations for the next three seasons at least

Why would that be off the table?

Agree. Very odd move.

Mark Williams a few weeks ago alluded to this

I was trying to process this last night and its clear something has happened behind the scenes. Either a falling out with someone or something significant.
Hope they know what they are doing, because he has plenty of value to offer yet I think.

He's got plenty of value to someone out there, what do you think his value is on the market in a trade?

1st rounder - Not in my book, if it was I'd say 1st rounder for Brown + 2nd rounder

2nd rounder - Swap for swap? Pick 35 for Brown seems low.

This'll be a mighty complicated one.

2nd rounder for mine

Speed on/with the ball & off half back.
Thomas has zip but he’s a forward.

Saad is available at the right price but I don’t want Brown

Considering Sydney offered 2 1st rounders for daniher last year I think 2nd rounder is a bit low.
Somewhere between 10 and 20 if straight draft picks, but I'd rather keep him tbh.
You could pick up a dud in the draft, or build a side around for a known quantity.
Could also have a significant injury that has been undisclosed?
Just doesn't make sense

Polec apparently told he is surplus to requirements. Good luck finding someone to take on that contract

North need Brown more than anyone hence there has to be more too it?
