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.

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

why the un-love for Howe ?

He really looks like a ROK type player...

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 ?

( 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

How do you know they haven't?

strait swap Howe for Shiel?

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

strait swap Howe for Shiel?

No

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

Maybe everybody should calm down a bit?

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
