Tim Watson on SEN this morning has said he's good mates with someone involved in a recruitment/list management role at an AFL club and he has told him there has absolutely been calls from Howe's manager about a possible move.

Of course. But i doubt he will move; he already said he want to stay at Melbourne 100%.

Howie got his wish to spend more time in the Melbourne forward line.

The hatred for Howe on here is putrid and really sick. Get a grip people, he is a footballer who is clearly being pushed out of his club and he is looking for a another club and contract to secure hi

No way North are interested. He's under 30.

Haven't heard much about col garland, would be a significant loss anyone know where that's at?

Interestingly when the final siren blew there was a close up of a D's player lying on the ground with their hands over their face and they looked like they were crying. I thought it looked like Garland. For some reason it was shown and there was no comment by the commentators. Did anyone else see this. I thought it was really odd. If it was Col I was wondering what was going on.

Someone on here mentioned players changing clubs to chase Premierships. How sweat it is to see Clark playing so well for a team getting further and further away from that goal by the week. Wonder how his depression would have been feeling on Saturday night if he was still here reaping the rewards of seeing a team on the beginning of a journey back from oblivion instead of being in a team that is on the beginning towards it.

As for Howey. Silly boy. Very different stories coming out of his mouth and his managers. Which is true. Probably both. That bloke wasn't the one acting for Twomey in his negotiations with the Pies a few years ago that nearly blew his career. Pull your head in mate. You don't start fielding offers unless you are prepared to leave otherwise you are wasting a lot of people's time. How would other clubs feel listening to these two different versions of what's actually going on.

If he stays, I hope he ends up in the forward line. Backs punch balls, forwards catch them. There aren't too many that can catch a contested ball any better than he can. In the heat of battle in a final or GF when a ball gets bombed into the forward 50 on a wing and a prayer you want someone who will rise above the pack, take a screamer and kick the winner. Someone as well as Jesse that is.

Yes I was confused by it as well. Maybe a personal issue.

Same...it looked like Col

Was definitely Garland.

Maybe just a sense of relief?

Hard to imagine what it must be like for guys like Jones and Garland who have experienced no success and a lot of hardships in their career, to see the tide turning.

It's emotional for us supporters, so why not for the players?

Col has put his heart & soul in...he had a down season last year but it's good to see him back in form this year.

Hope we sign him up soon.

A manager should be (privately and respectfully) inquiring to other clubs. He has to know the market value of the player to ensure that he is being payed appropriately by the club. Even if Howe is 100% wanting to stay at the Dees, he needs to understand his value on the market to ensure that Melbourne aren't taking him for granted.

What I cannot abide is a manager playing games through the media. It is a distraction and reflects very poorly on the player who has to answer to his team mates.

To get your price up.

I honestly don't think that would fly though.

PJ: We have 450k to offer.

Howe's Manager: Well GWS have offered 650k

PJ: Ok, See ya...

Can anyone really see PJ being strong armed by a manager taking figures to the newspapers?

No, but the Manager would want to know what his value is in the marketplace.

Doing his due diligence he needs to be able to say to his client,"this is what the MFC are offering and this is what I can get for you at "whoever". What do you want to do? Do you want to stay with the Dees? Are you happy with their offer, or do you want me to try and negotiate more?"

GWS cannot afford to pay overs for Howe and still hope to keep all their players. That list is going to cost a fortune to keep. Swap Shiel for Howe sure.

It's not strong-arming; it's negotiation.

Yes, if his manager said $650- and refused to budge or negotiate, then PJ would say 'see ya'.

But a manger and a player have to get the best deal that they can from a club, and a club should pay a player what they are worth to them. Players usually get paid slightly unders to stay at their club as there's always gonna be someone offering a tempting deal.

It's not offensive to ask for more money.

But it is offensive to make it public like Howe's manager clearly did.

I'm more talking about the fact his manager clearly made it public he was looking at offers and leaked a figure, while Howe himself said the opposite.

Not the best way to do a deal with the club you're "100%" happy with.

Howe is a good player but he's not a key forward/defender or a gun mid so there has to be a limit. The club knows what that limit is, offer it and leave it at that. Gone are the days of players cashing in on our club.

I wonder if the club might be reluctant to offer a new deal in case they have the opportunity to use Howe to land Shiel or Treloar in a trade?

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
