FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE

[jumbo returns 6,486]

I'm going to man-up and let Mum handle this one.

My little bloke was shattered when The Wiz went to Freo.....solution? A Freo jumper from K Mart that was marked down to ten bucks.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,235]

Was 'Handsome Magnum PI' more to your taste?

Well no... It was like one of those anachronisms!! EG The extra in Ben Hur wearing a wristwatch. I think you'll have to do some serious workshopping Ethan. Please note . I can supply authentic monk's and nun's habits ( albeit stained) and a large range of exotic paraphernalia . Workshop it - consider a range of advice and let me know. I'm thinking medieval as a rough guide.

[wretched.sylph 164]

so... who gets to eat the packet of crisps we got?

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

This is just a shocking deal. We did well to get 29 for Toump, but the rest of it is rubbish. Once again we trade with Collingwood and get shafted. It's seriously time to sack the recruiting department and bring in a few people with some vague idea of how to go about the job. First point would be NEVER TRADE WITH COLLINGWOOD!

[Ethan Tremblay 28,358]

Remember when you cut, it's more effective length ways than width.

Trade period isn't over, take a breath and see what happens.

The noise will be deafening when he tries a 35mtr pass into the middle and blows it after taking a screamer.

Then seventeen other Collingwood players just sigh and look at the coach and the final score....

[Neita3000 37]

Howe, Toumpas and 32 for Kennedy, 29 and 50

Welldone MFC

I have a seven year old KK. Have you tried lying? I find it works a treat.

Mine never quite got over Jurrah leaving.

(Me neither for that matter ...)

[Binmans PA 25,993]

Well, Howe almost certainly cost us Prestia at the GCS. What a [censored].

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Well, Howe almost certainly cost us Prestia at the GCS. What a [censored].

Huh? He already stated he was going to play out the last year of his contract. What where we going to give GC? Howe and Pick 6 would not have been enough.

[monoccular 16,042]

Toumpas contributed very little in the three years he was at The MFC.

Howe gave us a dozen good games and a lot of wonderful marks.

Neither of them were going to make a contribution that would get us into the eight in 2016 let alone the top four.

Kennedy has joined who knows if he will be any better but one thing is for certain.

If we kept using the same players the the results would not change.

I've been wondering about that 'Adam'.

If we want Prestia next year we will have to give up our 1st rnd pick plus some.

If he wants to come to us why don't we just do that deal now ie next year's 1st rnd pick plus whatever it takes.

We get him now pay for him later, sort of.

I have concluded either he isn't the one we are after or he hasn't decided to come to us.

Otherwise we coould do the deal now.

Yeah it would. 6 and 20 for Prestia is plenty. But I agree with you, he wasn't coming home this year. He's a loyal kid, he'll give it one more year.

I will miss his one trick though.

[m'kaaay 152]

I don't see Howe or Toumparsefreckle on the Demonland banner, so really,they were not rated by any of you armchair selectors; so who gives a kcuff. 2 bit hacks - no one is going to be talking about either of them next year. Next.....

Well. Well. The HS is reporting: "Howe will play for around $350,000 a year on a three-season deal".

That is even less than we were said to have offered him.

Such a come down from the $600+ his manager was touting!

So he will play for the AFL average salary (excluding rookies and draftees).

He has been bedazzled by the pizzazz that Eddie and co talk up.

Can't help but think Howie has made a big mistake going to the pies.

Anyway, he is gone: an average salary for an average player.

The Pies being who he barracked for probably had a say in it

Perhaps I am cynical, but that suggest there may be a side deal ...

well i wouldn't have too much faith in the hun's quoted contract value

i'm sure whoever leaked it to the hun had their agenda

like every other figure that's been quoted by the media over the last couple of months including what we supposedly offered
