Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE


What

Recommended Posts

I still think Howe is GC bound. It seems they have chased him the hardest, and while others have shown some interest, GC seem to be the ones who have sustained it the longest.

Or maybe I'm just hoping it's GC Howe goes to as I think they can satisfy us the best in a trade.

I agree GC can offer us the best deal. And if O"meara or Prestia are not involved I would love to land there pick for Dixon (10) and if we can not on trade it for an established Mid, I would look at Sam Weideman.

I think we would have to throw in something else to get 10 for what it's worth

The question would be asked though - is Howe worth just Pick 10? Any neutral fan would easily say Dixon is worth much more than Howe, so to land Pick 10 we would probably have to add our second rounder as well... although that seems Essendon bound in the Melksham deal.

All I can say is that it's going to be a very long, and interesting, trade period watching all of these deals get done.

I don't trust the Pies. Their m o is to get a player to want to go to them, then screw the club on the trade deal.

Then they expect the players' club to just make it happen.

It is similar to what they are doing to Aish and the LIons.

It is the flip side of the Beams deal last year.

They just stand their ground and wear the other club down.

I just don't trust them!

Hopefully, Howe does not nominate the Pies.

the more bidding for him the merrier. will only increase his value way beyond what he is truly worth.

I disagree. Players now determine their club of choice, and a deal then needs to be struck. We don't have the power to trade Howe to get the best return. The contract offer from his new club becomes irrelevant to the trade deal. Without doubt, Howe picking GC would be the best scenario for MFC.

If Jeremy Howe opts for Gold Coast, potential deal could be Pick 3 to Dees for pick 6 & Howe. North and Pies other suitors. #TradeSENtral

GC would have to throw in their third rounder in this instance, either for us to trade for Bugg or Melksham.

Howe isn't worth a 3 pick upgrade in the first round (although it seems the club really want Parish from what I've heard).

I have a feeling Toumpas might be off loaded for that later pick.

An upgrade to Pick 3 would be fair to me and allow us to basically pick the player we want the most out of the draft.

Pick 3 - From what I have read, Francis and Parish are not head and shoulders better than Mathieson and Curnow. I thought only the first two picks were the stars in this draft. I think Mathieson and Curnow are a bit less refined and have greater upside than Francis and Parish...especially Curnow but are riskier prospects which is why they are rated as less.

Howe is probably worth a late first rounder I would think in this draft and where are list is at we need either a possible A grader (Prestia etc.) or double up.

My proposed trade:

Howe for Suns pick 19

Pick 19 to GWS for Tomlinson and Bugg

I must confess that I am basing this on what I have read and not personal knowledge.

Bugg hasn't been offered a contract, so an exchange of late draft picks is on the cards. And Tomlinson isn't worth pick 19.

That would suggest we are no longer after O'meara or Prestia.

We must desperately want a specific player @ pick 3 as there is nothing to suggest #3 with potential will be any better than #6 with potential. It would be like giving Howe away, after all the draft is a lottery even at the top end...we should know better than any other club.

I seem to be the odd one out on this going by other posters getting excited at the deal but I can't see MFC doing that trade.

I'm sure that's not the full extent of the trade. GC would have to throw in pick 19 as well. The Tyson trade involved giving up 2 and 20 for Tyson and 9 + minor exchange of picks. I can see the Howe deal along similar lines.

Howe wants to play forward. The coaches want him to play in defense.

He decides his opinion is worth more than the coaches.

End of story.

And you know what? I trust our coaches a hell of a lot more than Howe or his ass of a manager. I don't give a crap what abilities he apparently "possesses." On game day, he's lazy, doesn't gut run, doesn't understand our structures and has horrible body language. Worst of all, he so desperately wants to be a forward and can't stand Roosy playing him in defence, yet he kicked more behinds than goals this year. Stop drinking your own bathwater Jeremy.

That and; we've got spare cash so paying him what he might be after is not the problem either.

Club has something cooking which will no doubt lead to a greater gain than what we perceive is going on and that's why he's on the market.

I really don't buy the whole "I've been shifted around so much" argument from Howie.

I'm not the only one who doesn't trust the Pies, bb. Just saw this about the Treloar trade: "It’s understood there are some within GWS who are uncomfortable trading with the Pies and could yet bring Richmond and possibly even Carlton into the frame".www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-trade-week-big-deals-that-everyone-is-watching-20151011-gk6h33.html#ixzz3oFylxjSn

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
