For the same reason we want to spend pick 2 for Rockliff, Shuey, et al.

Skip the dev stage, give the bloke a role and watch him become a star.

I would trade him an established mid, but he has the skills to be Ryan O'Keefe. Get Roos to help him with his finger that's up his arse and get him to work hard off a wing/hff.

I can see where you're coming from with this comparison, rpfc, but IMO Howe's field-kicking is nowhere near O'Keefe's. Work-rate and discipline can be worked on, but field-kicking has that ceiling.

    He really looks like a ROK type player...

    Would anyone be happy with pick 2 and Howe for shiel and gws 2nd round pick (19/20)

    No.

    Pick 2 for Shiel is pretty much correct weight.

    I would have thought so...No need for embellishing or dealing past the sale .

    No need for Howe in that. A fairer deal would be:

    Pick 2 for Sheil and pick 20

    but I'd be happy with sheil for pick 2.

  • Quote

    how about pick 2 and Blease, Tapscott, Bail, Pedersen, Jetta and Nicholson thrown in for good measure ? :rolleyes:

    ( hell I WOULD throw in #20 if that got that deal through..lol )

    thats right, the last time we allowed one of our players be exploited by our marketing brains-trust, we almost destroyed his career before it even started.

    Ohhhh so now it's the marketing team's fault Watts has struggled.... FMD

    If only our club had this conviction.

    Make a stand with pick 2 , get guys like this or take it to draft

    Sheil for pick #2 and keep Howe [for Sheil to kick to]

    Frawley for Shiel Simple really!He wont sign so off he goes to GWS!

    Its time all at MFC stopped having love-ins over players they are just a means to an end in a ruthless competetive business enviorement

    The important thing here is the clubs' future not about any indivigual player

    If Frawley wont sign then trade him don't wait and lose the opportunity

    when did people fall out of love with Jeremy Howe?

    He was our bloody leading goal kicker this season in an area that the ball rarely came down into and when it did it was kicked atrociously?!

    Will be much better with some key forwards on the park to take much of the focus off of him.

    Get a clue people.

    I don't think anyone wants to get rid of him because they (we) think he's rubbish. It's more about the fact he has currency and is surplus to our needs up forward. If he can develop into a genuine midfield role I'd prefer to keep him, but I don't see it - he's more of a forward flanker type, something we have an over-abundance of.

    Agree

    I support the club not the player - don't get me wrong love Frawley and he's a gun.

    THis club will remain a [censored] kicker until it gets ruthless in all aspects of it's operations

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
