FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE

[What 18,810]

Jesse White heheheheehe

Could make the case he is the worst tall forward in the entire comp

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Collingwood need to send someone to Gold Coast that will get us Pick 3 combined with our Pick 6.

Surely this is what we'll be telling Collingwood they need to do to get the deal done.

[beelzebub 22,762]

Are you serious?

White can't hit the side of a barn shed.

A truly awful set shot for goal. Arguably worse than Cloke, and that's saying something.

fiar enough ..but dont be surprised if the Filth do offer him up as steak knives to some deal. Thats teh filth

I think that would have to go to Liam Jones in all honesty

Seriously if they try and squeeze Jesse White into it I would rather send Howe to the friggen drafts

[Demon Disciple 11,218]

When was the last time the filth gave up anything of worth in a trade that went on to be a success?

If Kennedy is not involved as part of the Howe deal (nor should he be), we should just give the bird to the Pies and tell Howe it's going to be GC or the draft.

GC was looking good to Howe a week ago, why is it unappealing all of a sudden??

FIGJAM and McChins can GAGF, Howe too for that matter given the way he and his manager have tried to play us, but before he does he can get us something decent in return.

[Bonkers 918]

1 week in and the only club that has come out in front so far is Geelong.

17 other clubs are all neutral.

Other then Dangerfield, no A grade midfielder has been mooted as available. For one to appear out of nowhere is a little optimistic.

Where in my post did I mention an A grade mid? I'm talking about draft position. If you believe the rumours, MFC had lined up a move for GC's pick 3. Now that we dont have pick 25 the only cards we hold are 6, Howe & our 3rd rounder. We would have been better off holding onto pick 25 & waiting so that we have the option to use that pick if it could help us get another trade done. We have less flexibility now to do any other trades if they had arisen & there was no demand for Melksham from any other club, I'm sure he could have waited a week to help out his future club.

We hold more than that. Toumpas apparently wants out as well and, if the Dixon deal goes through as PA want, they'll hand over their second rounder for him. That's just one example.

I don't know why there is this belief that there was no other demand for Melksham - how do you Einstein's know that? Were you all behind the scenes doing the negotiating? Is someone his manager's brother?

Yes Toumpas, is an example of one other player who has currency, who else?

He had nominated Melbourne as his club of choice, there was no need to rush any deal.

[Demon Jack 6,439]

Hang on, what's this about O'Meara?

[dazzledavey36 49,840]

pm'd

Lol saw it before you pushed delete hehe

[deespicable me 1,445]

Lot of hand wringing here.

If we get Melksham, Kennedy and Bugg, and hold on to pick 6 then that will be O.k.

I haven't seen any trades to or from us that is going to change the fact that the improvement to playing finals is going to have to come from within.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Um, why wouldn't O'Meara nominate a trade to us if true? Then we would just offer pick 6 outright?

This has as much believability as the Dangerfield crap last year.

[Deecisive 1,674]

Collingwood could very well chuck in jesse white into a howe = white / kennedy deal, just so they can loosen their salary cap a little, and obviously offload deadweight in the cheapest possible way by having us pick up his contract.

[Dinosaur Rover 197]

Jesse White for Jeremy Howe straight swap.

Sauce - Social media.

Giddy up!

[Moonshadow 16,648]

Prestia, yes. O'Meara and his pre-geriatric knee, no.

[Brayshaw Self 847]

The Great White Shart is awful

[Lucifers Hero 37,524]

The Age is reporting: Collingwood and Melbourne were also locked in negotiations over what could become a multi-club deal for Jeremy Howe to move to Collingwood, Jimmy Toumpas to move to Port Adelaide, Paul Seedsman to Adelaide and Ben Kennedy to the Demons. A complicated exchange of second and third round draft picks is also involved in the mega deal.

Jack Nial and Emma Quayle have been spot on so far so no reason to doubt them.

So much for Mahoney saying last night that Kennedy and Howe would be separate deals!

No matter what the exchange of later picks is, losing both Toumpas and Howe for a kid who has barely played and some picks does not fill me with any joy...

...yes I know, your advice is to wait till officially announced...sure!

Footnote: the article says Treloar and Aish to Pies deals almost done.

I reckon that is where Pies good picks have gone...I guess we get the dregs...yes I know wait till the deal is done etc etc etc

If we are getting in 2nd rounders to trade to GWS for pick 8 it will be genius. We should get ourselves in a decent position pick wise if we are trading out both Howe an Toumpas. Lets see what evolves

[Demi Dee 578]

Pies topple o'meara/Prestia(or pick 3) deal by tickling Howes balls in Bali?

Very clever. They too expressed interest and maybe caught wind of the specifics.

Hopefully that is what occurs. Alternatively we could trade the 2nd rounders to GC as well as pick 6 in a deal to get pick 3 & a player from GC to help them get their academy players (if worth drafting?).

Take your own advice. While this may be in the works we have no idea of the picks involved or what will actually go down. So before you have a mini meltdown just take it easy until it's done.

Maybe should stop being so condescending whenever someone posts something you don't like or is expressing doubts!

Its a free world!

Childish. But then your over the top posts during this trade period should mean your above one comes as no surprise.

You aren't the only one but the amount of people on here who can't see past their noses at this time of the year is astounding. No one automatically wins or loses a trade. When 3-4 years have passed then you can take a good look at it, but to get all worried about now is just silly.

And besides, who knows what we have planned? We might land Kennedy and two second rounders, and we have some good plans in place for those picks. We know that teams are keen to get a GWS pick in the Top 10, and we may well and truly have an eye on that with further plans in place for 2 picks inside the Top 10.

So before you get childish about the situation you should think before you post. You'll do yourself a huge favour.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

All this ends as far as No. 38 is concerned. Sunday. Is that right?

If so I don't give a rats toss bag.

Caulfield Cup day. The mind will be elsewhere.
