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.

    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

    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

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
