    He may well have been undecided about which long term lucrative offer from a premiership contender he was going to accept before the end of the season. But i very much doubt he was undecided about whether he was going to leave or not before the end of the season. He was gawn from the moment he put talks on hold.

    But i guess if you think other wise you're probably right - coz you do have the ear of the players.

    I don't believe I said I wanted to trade him deeko.

    Just making the. Observation that all players are tradable in the 21 century of A F L.

    I did say I would prefer to keep him.

    No you definitely didn't old dee, I did read your quote and Dr Gonzo's who I quoted.

    Wasn't meaning to have a crack and apologies if I came across like that.

    I do get a bit grumpy when people are happy to offload our players who show talent (in my opinion, I know not necessarily yours) now that we surely have better structures in place for them to improve.

    I understand where you are coming from in regards to the belief that everyone is tradable. The romantic inside me just doesn't want to believe it yet.

    Nah.

    GWS: We offer you pick 7 for Jeremy Howe.

    MFC: Hmm. We'd better see what he thinks about that. Hey Jeremy's manager, would Jeremy consider a move to GWS?

    Manager: I'll ask. Hey Jeremy, how would you feel about a move to GWS?

    Howe: Yeah, nah.

    Manager: He said, "yeah, nah."

    MFC: Sorry, not happening. And next time, maybe come to us a little bit sooner so everyone's actually got time to think this through?

    For every Chip Frawley and Tom $€u££¥ there's a Chris Grant.

    name 20 others players THEN there's a Chris Grant

    I asked posters who had him signed up at Geelong etc why would he do that.

    It was obvious that he had multiple suitors from the get go - according to the media they all raised the hands and said yes please,

    Scully (who snuffed out all my childish naivety) had one suitor who offered him Fort Knox - that he signed very early on ? Probably yes.

    Why would Frawley sign early when he had been average for two season yet clubs were still clambering to get him ? You would let the dutch auction go on until the very end. I am in your court TDI.

    The only thing I do think is that his thinking early on was that he was going - just not sure to who.

    I will meet you three quarters of the way. Once he put his talks on hold ( like Cloke) he was not committed to staying and was signalling " let the games begin - I am up for a move"

    The most ridiculous saying in today's society.

    GWS: "so Jeremy, wtf is it going to be?"

    That is us agreeing to that deal.

    hope your tongue was firmly in your cheek there !! :rolleyes:

    hardly worth that amount is he

    Absolutely, Howe is a good player but he's not $650k value. If GWS offered him that I would not begrudge him taking advantage of their stupidity

    Ok I spoke to Howie at training this morning, told him what was going on in the media, he hadn't seen any of it, spent the morning just relaxing before training

    The Pick 7 was on the table for him just before the end of Trading

    He rejected the move, yes I asked his permission to post that here, he says to assure supporters he ain't going anywhere

    Quality post, not sure if you'll fit in here.

    It's not. It's us considering it and finding out whether there's any point in continuing to consider it.

    Considering it isn't agreeing to it.

    nor is informing a player (or his manager) of an offer from another club

    It's agreeing that he is tradeable.

    And that isn't saying much, there are only about 5 blokes that are untradeable.

    That is Satryconhome (sp).

    There is ample evidence to decide whether he fits in.

    it's not necessarily agreeing he is tradeable

    i think these days it is just courtesy to inform a player - they will find out anyway

    and it is very possible the other club could have informed the player's manager

    If he is unsure he wants to stay after all the investment the Club has made in quality coaches etc.

    Then there is only one solution.

    See you later and thanks for all the good times.

    Next Player please!

    I told Howie. 750K a season was being quoted, he was shocked, all players only have one go at this, as long as a player gives his all for the team during the season I don't care if they get an offer they can't refuse and take it, it's not like any of us have never changed jobs for a better deal

    I try to explain to posters on here, been chatting to the players for a few years, always treat them with respect, I asked him straight, after explaining the media coverage and the four pages on here, I respect what he told me, of course this does not mean in the future circumstances will change, I asked his permission to post his comment about knocking back the move and he told me to assure posters he has no intention of leaving.

    As I put with Frawley, same with him, I don't believe he had decided to go any time during the season or when I asked him, this was all done post the season

    I spent 10 minutes talking to Nev Jetta today, but respect what he tells me and not to repeat or post anything he wouldn't want me to

    Mate Frawley had packed his bags during 2013.

    Interestingly Paul Roos and Jade Rawlings don't agree with yours or OD's assessment of Howie

    Roos publicly stated after round 23 that everyone was on the trade table so yeah, actually, it seems he does agree.

    I'm not saying we should delist him but if we can get something for him that will improve us more than he can then we will look at it as he is one of the few commodities on our list with value. If we could get Shiel for instance we would be stupid to say "yeah, nah".

    With the additions of HL & SF I would be surprised if Howe wasn't played further up the ground next season. We will only be able to get a true assessment of what he is worth in the latter parts of next season.

    He brings the "x factor" to demons, no other player has that.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
