I don't get this whole situation.

If he's out of contract, how come we get to trade something for him?

How do we own him at all?

he is not out of contract quite yet. contract year ends after trade time

What it says is that he has agreed to move to the Pies...instead of

He has nominated the pies as his preferred club.

The latter statement is the reality and the actual statement is really only one in hope.

So we let him go to the PSD with nod and a wink to Carltank. Enjoy Carlton Jeremy.

It has to be Howe for Kennedy and Pick 26 (which will explain why we offloaded 25 for Melksham).

I don't think we got true value out of this trade.

So we get Melksham and Kennedy for Howe and dropping 1 draft spot in second round.

Looking at it that way it's probably reasonable deal.

Mahoney on SEN
- Expressed frustration that this spanner has been thrown in the works from Howe
- Had gone a long way down the road with Gold Coast in negotiations
- Views Kennedy as a seperate deal to the Howe one
- No chance of forcing him into the PSD

Mahoney said on SEN that '...+ pick 6 and Howe for GCS pick 3 and there were other things around that' were part of the GCS negotiations that had been worked thru'. MFC will now deal with Pies. Trade will happen this week. A 1st to 2nd rnd pick will get it done.

Mahoney sounded incredibly flat.

We have publicly declared our hand.

I am incredibly deflated right now.

We will never know what the GCS deal was and what Howe going to Pies will cost us.

Why can't we play hard ball...just once!

Has a better relationship with Buckley than he does with Roos? Wow. Says more about the kind of guy Howe is.

Bye bye bogan.

Nothing whatsoever to do with relationships it has everything to do with $$$$ - $400k a year is a lot of coin to a guy plucked from some obscure Tasmanian village and given a break by MFC - bottom line is our FD did not rate him that much so we move on and try and extract the best possible trade to advance our cause - I for one do not think he is the sort of character that I would rely upon to stand up in finals when the heat is really on - Brayshaw, Hogan, Viney, Petracca, Vince, Jones, YES

Howe not sure !

Way to screw over the club that gave you senior games when you should have been rotting in the VFL. What a piece of [censored] this guy is.

Mahoney also said part of the GC deal was to swap picks 3 & 6. Suns have offered a contract to Howe.

Get stuffed Pies, unless they give us something bloody good we should nominate Suns as our 'preferred' trading club.

We can't force a player to go where they don't want to. All we could do would be to force him to the PSD, but that's cutting off our nose to spite our face.

Collingwood can get [censored], either make them do a better deal than GC or just trade him to GC.

I don't see why the player gets a say.

Nice of Howe to give us a kick in the balls as he leaves the building.

I never disliked him but after today he is right up there on my Scullyometer.

Well done.

Can you do that?

We could do that, what is the difference between the Howe & Carlisle scenarios? Essendon are looking to deal with the clubs that satisfy their needs versus Melbourne looking to do a deal with the club that suits Howe's needs. Mahoney needs to grow a set, that is the difference.

Get stuffed Howe. Screwing us til the very end.

Really [censored] stuff from him. Wasted the entire season giving him games while he ran around doing SFA, and now he makes a final hour decision after we've already made a deal with GC.

I want so bad to throw him into the PSD, but I know we can't afford to. He deserves it though!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
