Jeremy Howe

Good pick up, here are all of his tweets:

GWS went hard late in trade .. We read about Stevie J, it didn't end there .. Can confirm they tabled 4 for Breust, stunning Hawks ..

GWS also went after Jeremy Howe big time .. A top 10 pick on table, either 6 or 7. Dees stunned too .. No time really to consider ..

Howe marking and marketing machine .. Breust a NSW boy and gun .. All out onslaught late .. CEO Dave Matthews a major driver

Also murmurs in club land that GWS took shot at Cat Motlop ... Didn't die wondering with early picks .. 4 was plonked for Ryder too

Deal re Howe was extraordinary but he was under contract, it was left field and he had no warning .. Tough to get deals done quickly

Howe is us supporters only excitement. Sometimes our only reason to go to the game. Howe has been terribly developed and I believe could be our best player. In a good team, he could be anything. He is god to my brained washed 6yo (I have brain washed him with guilt). He is to my son what Robert Flower was to me. Personally I am very happy he remains a Dee.

Would have taken me 1 second to say "deal".

That'd be about right.

On the other hand, regardless of what the club might have liked to say, the most important ingredient in all this is Howe himself. He had to agree to be traded, find an agreement with GWS on a contract, and agree to move to Western Sydney.

Not the kind of thing you put together in a second - or even a couple of phone calls and an email.

Totally agree. He is my boys favourite player, as well as my wife's, for another reason. Howe is one of the few things the club has which can attract new supporters. Which is why GWS would of wanted him. Plus he is a good player. I am very glad we still have him

Weak draft imo & it sounds like a few clubs might've been thinking that way also. They had obviously no intention of staying with 3 top 10 picks as their preferred final trade period outcome. May explain why saints weren't prepared to downgrade 1 & why doggies happy to include 6 with Griff for Boyd which many are calling slightly overs atm, especially given GWS were reportably originally happy to pay 4 & 7 for Griff in the first place which many thought was overs!

Unfortunately this was not GWS being stupid. It was a cunning plan to raid other clubs talent. Only costing draft picks so that the other clubs had no time to counter with offers for their players. Cunning and potentially divisive if the clubs went back to said players and asked the question. This only cements my dislike of GWS.

[censored] St Kilda too for [censored] us over and making us give pick 23 to GWS unnecessarily. The weaker Vic teams should at the very least collaborate to make life harder for these parasites.

As proven during this trade period they will only deal if a player plays hardball to get out.

P.S thanks for taking Scully, giving us Hogan on a platter and also for the Tyson deal.

Howe would want to start delivering some really consistent and substantial football for us next year if we've turned down pick 6.

He is a one trick pony for mine. I don't care for high marks when he then either misses the easy set shot (2013) or kicks stupidly to a 2 v 1 in the corridor (2014). Not enough meat and potatoes for mine.

Would have done that deal in a heartbeat.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
