Jeremy on the move?

[BIG JIM 508]

Just heard 3aw saying Howe might be on the move next year?

[the_danj 0]

yes i just had a mate message me this also... gws offered pick 7 last minute trade

[ChaserJ 3,972]

If GWS were still interested next year, I'd be happy to discuss a swap for A Treloar or D Shiel.

[beelzebub 22,268]

Hes not imperatively essential.... he can be traded

[olisik 4,060]

If the case I hope he is dropped first sign he shows of being disinterested. Not keen to see a Frawley 2.0 prance around next year

[monoccular 16,282]

I thought you meant that he may be moving to the forward line again.

But seriously, whilst I like him he is of course tradable depending on what is offered.

Just heard 3aw saying Howe might be on the move next year?

Did they offer any source/credible info? Or just some wild line based on GWS last minute offer?

Required player for mine, but if he goes, he goes.

[wattsup 470]

GWS offered $650k and pick 7 to melb it was rejected by us apparently was very late in trade week, but Howe has now put off contract talks till end of year unless we make a very good offer its all on 3aw website

[juzzk1d 1,354]

In b4 he has a poor year and his trade value drops significantly.

Frawley? $cully ?

Hope he puts in and forces us to make an appropriate offer, OR GW$ make us a trade for a decent mid.

Sigh, another year of second guessing a player's contract status. Howe distracting...Now we will have hundreds of DL pages putting every Howe move/game under a micro-scope. Sigh.

Does that make sense? How do you listen to what the club has to offer if you "put off contract talks"?

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

It seems to be largely speculation with the facts being that Howe declined an offer from GWS and isn't interested in talking about a new contract with us just now. The rest is speculation based on this. We know without a doubt that the Hawks and Cats will make a play for him if he's still uncontracted at the end of the 2015 season because they both regard us as a feeder club for their elite teams. Probably thee would be other clubs sniffing around as well. He's the sort of players any side would like to have. I think it may be a little too early to panic just yet though.

[P-man 13,239]

Let's please not go through another Chip style melodrama. The Giants came knocking, both club and player said "no thanks". The rest is speculation.

It's basically a nothing story. I'll be quite surprised if he doesn't re-sign.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Bear in mind also that he's not a Free Agent of any sort, so we would hold the best hand in trade negotiations.

[Deespicable 2,562]

Yes he's on the move - back to the forward line - that's the whisper.

With Harry O he's no longer required as an attacking defensive option.

So he will act as fourth mobile tall up forward.

[Lucifers Hero 37,212]

Bear in mind also that he's not a Free Agent of any sort, so we would hold the best hand in trade negotiations.

Unless a Dane Beams, Paddy Ryder or Allen Christensen situation arises where the player nominates their preferred club and they eventually get there, usually at less than their 'true' trade value. I am yet to be convinced of MFC desire to play hard-ball in trade situations. Anyway, I think its only conjecture.

[hoon1 43]

Am I the only one that thinks pick 7 would be overs anyway, with pick 7 we could have drafted Brayshaw, McCartin and still possibly lever or Laverde or Duggan or Cockatoo

[hoon1 43]

Howe is good, but his more flashy than game changing. He brings people through the turnstiles, but at the end of the day he doesn't own a position, he instead floats, meaning that he is replaceable

Pick 7 for Howe could not have been offered.

The only thing more unbelievable is we knocked it back.

Heard from a few sources that it was in fact offered, but too late to do anything. I would have said yes immediately. Decent player, but no way is he worth a top 10 pick. Think he'd be a gun in a top 6 side though.

I said at the time GWS were p ricks throwing bombs at the last minute with no intention or chance of getting a trade done. They simply wanted to divert everyone's attention for 2015 from the fact the whole comp will be coming after their players.

I hope they die on the vine that stinking rotten carcass of a team.
