And if they had have offered it sooner we could have packaged it up and gotten Danger. Ain't that a kick in the teeth lol

No not a kick in the teeth rather a kick in the balls.

It hurts more (something u wouldn't know about sue!)

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

Mark Stevens just tweeted that gws came late with a massive offer. Pick 6 maybe. Dees didn't have time to consider.

Handy knowledge for next trade period when they have a few young guns coming out of contract next year.

I've just watched a 12 minute highlight (yes 12 mins lol) video on YouTube and I forgot how exciting he is, I change my mind, definite keeper and let's put him back where he belongs- in the forward 50!

I love Howie but that offer a little earlier could have proved really handy in other negotiations.

If true, a deal could have netted us pick 4 and Frost. That would have meant 2,3,4 and 23 and Frost thrown in. Wow. We could have got McCartin plus our rumoured two mids, Brayshaw and Lever and someone at 23.

Wonder what would have happened if that was offered at 10.00AM.

GWS might think that they are good at laying future foundations and at the same time unsettling other clubs...

I think this is close to the mark, they seemed to be running around throwing up late offers and then leaking them to the media.

Trouble making by a bunch of .......

A raffle is not an experienced mid.

Howe takes great hangers but not much else.

A bit harsh....his defensive game has improved this year and he had several very good games running off half back.

I think he's very coachable, brave, fit and has terrific skills.

We need to remove VFL standard players off our list before we shift Howe.

Howe is one of the most consistent high marks I've ever seen. And they are all contested marks. I look forward to seeing how he performs as a member of a more competitive team not having to play in defence because thats where the ball is. Roos has said Howe will play forward in 2015 after a learning year in defence. I'd like to see him play as a half forward/wing ahead of a midfield providing a competitive numbers of Inside Forward 50s. We should have a greater spread of tall and medium and small forward targets next year to capitalise on the greater number of opportunities. Hogan and Dawes should tie up the 2 key defenders Our other medium forwards like Kent and Salem are strong in the air as are small forwards Garlett and Kennedy - Harris.

I'd back Howe to kick 40 goals in 2015 if he is played in that position.

We don't have to be stupid though. Howe has a unique skilset. Lets develop and utilise that ourselves.

Remember the Hawks agreed to trade Sewell to the Dees for Ferguson but Ferguson wanted to say at the Dees.

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

Good pick up, here are all of his tweets:

I love Howe but that's some deal.

6 for Howe....Done..

Took me less than 2 seconds.

No special sauces just unsubstantiated speculation...

Howes' tweet this arvo had me thinking.. "Fair bit going on today #tradeperiod"

From Talking Carlton...

"apparently GWS offered pick 6 for howe and then howes manager asked collingwood if they were interested for pick 5 cos howe doesnt really want to go to GWS

um

wtf?"

I can think of 3 and 6 for Dangerfield. I'd take Dangerfield over Howe and some project every single day of the week.

Obviously, but the evidence suggests there would not have been time to complete that trade due to the lateness of GWS's offer.

Wyl says we should have taken the trade regardless, I want him to tell us that would have improved the team next year.

We knocked back essendon's pick 5 for Garland the year they took Hurley..... I wonder if we would've taken Hurley also? I was glad we kept Garlo at the time, although not so sure now.

In saying that, I'm glad we kept Howe. Natural footballer who did learn a few things under Roos in 2014 & I'm expecting him to take those lessons and apply them going forward, big year ahead for him.

A last minute trade for a contracted player is dumb unless its already known whether that player is willing to move to that club as the player has to consent it. And I doubt any of they players they targeted would've been able to make the leap to the western burbs of Sydney without a bit of time to consider, even for large contract extensions.

No, I have clearly explained that the would not have been time to complete subsequent trades based on the lateness of the offer for Howe.

You need to explain how trading Howe would improve the team based on this evidence, not some fantasyland idea that trading Howe at the last minute would have netted us Dangerfield.

Yes. Such a pity it wasn't 20 minutes earlier.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
