FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

Howe for Prestia. Thanks very much.

Prestia said half way through the year that he was pretty confident he would see out his contract at GC, not like that has stopped anyone before. None the less, I would be interested to see how we would go about this, considering the ability to package in next years draft picks etc.

That said, I would love to sign Howe, another mid and then Prestia next year. Dream result.

Howes ability to play both ends of the ground is underestimated and his kicking would be in the top 6-7 on our list, i think.

You obviously didn't watch him closely this season. He's very hit and miss.

I think that his issue is more a decision making issue rather than a skill execution issue. Make the wrong decision and often you are punished and we have too many who seem to make the wrong the decision at time. In terms of the ability to kick the football, when he makes the right decision, he would be top 6-7

But a dream, sadly.

How many times have you seen him take mark of the year, or a really strong intercept mark. Then turn the ball over with the next disposal, then an opposition goal.

I agree, adrenaline rush leading to a lapse in concentration and poor decision making.

Both Jeremy Howe & Jake Carlisle asking for $700K, who would you prefer?

harley bennell.

Neither at that price. Give the cash to J. Hogan instead.

I agree. Worried if we don't improve that Jesse will start to look back to home out West in a few years

Where have you seen Howe commanding $700K ?

He's worth no more than $350-$400K.

[DemonOX 8,801]

He wouldn't be the only one to look elsewhere if we don't improve mongrel.

It's been across the media that there have been offers of over 650k. I'm sure that the marketing dollars would probably be worth it.

Agree with the earlier poster, lets just give that money to Hogan. What's more, if it is not enough lets give him more. Hell, i'm happy to change our name to the Jesse Hogan Football Club if he wants.

did exactly that and in my mind summarised his entire repitoir in one passage of play. Don't mind if he stays but not for big money

Nah, GWS supposedly came with a let offer last year offering around $600k and pick 6 for Howe (which we would have taken in a heart beat)

It was classic hand grenade. The deal was never going to get done because there wasn't time for the paperwork to get through,

But Howe and his management now think they are worth $650k. I think he has been poor all year and in his mind, he is halfway out the door. They basically sabotaged Howe for us.

I hate GWS. Howe has currency for us and will go. A decent mid will improve our team. Howe is limited.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Let him go for that price so we can get in on the compo handouts. Pick after our first should get us pick 40 [censored] 7 at this rate

Would help if he was a free agent, which he is not

[Dr. Gonzo 24,305]

Several posters have indicated that they are ambivalent about Howe's future at Melbourne. I won't sit in the fence .... I want him to be traded, and I'll back our current administration to get someone in who will improve our team, regardless of who / what pick we get in the deal. Attitude is what counts!

Me too mate, have thought he was a great trade option since the Sydney game last year (well before that, but that game cemented it - Watts too).

[bing181 9,328]

He won't get that price, or anything near it.

But, you would think he was gone.

[Palace Dees 2,340]

Wow.....The Hun have given us that latest on each club re trading. Hot off their internet site.

MELBOURNE

The Dees were linked to Gold Coast’s Dion Prestia and Adelaide’s Tom Lynch but missed out on both. Out-of-contract swing man Jeremy Howe still hasn’t made a decision about his future which isn’t a great sign at this time of year.

I feel so much more informed now!

[SaberFang 7,151]

Great scoop from the Hun, as always.

that was the edited version. Firstly they States Prestia had signed a new contract with Suns. Incorrect. Secondly they also stated that max Gawn hadn't signed on. Ahhh yes he has. Looks like the editors were getting sauced at the rising star and left the work experience kids in charge. After Twitter went into meltdown they quickly changed it

what a joke, eh

Tomlinson or Plowman.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Damo just made the comment on the Footy Show that talks are ongoing with Howe, he wants 4 years on good money and we aren't willing to meet those money demands. If memory serves correctly Damo also said that we are unlikely to meet those money demands as well, so if he stays it will be on our terms. Seems as though we would be happy to offer him 4 years though.
