Might still get a first round offer. If it wasn't for a failed medical, Richmond was prepared to part with pick 12 last year for Trengove who hadn't played a good game since 2011 and was barely on the park at all last year.

I believe it was our 2nd round + Trengove for pick 12

So potentially the lions could get pick 2 for Leuenberger?

Frawley was a joke for pick 3 but my god no one could defend that!

Leuenberger is worth a 2nd round pick at best. He has done nothing. I would say a 3rd round is about right,

He wouldn't be among their highest paid players either

Great.....You would swap a 100 gamer for a bloke who can't get on the park????

Has played 19 games and kicked 1 goal.....Has played a lot in the Giants seconds side which is a crap competition.

Haven't we learned that just because you are picked at No 3 in the draft, you must be better.

Talk about the other side always being greener.

Remember when everyone was salivating over Prismall.......

Just popped onto the MFC website and they had a highlights package of Daniel Cross being his last game.. They now have a highlight package of Jeremy Howe now...

Conspiracy?

Had the same reaction until I read the article. It's because it's Cross' farewell game and Howe's 100th game. Nothing more to it.

I was going to post this, but then realised they could get away with that because it's his 100th.

Jeremy Howe...great mark! Can also...great mark! As well as being a...great mark! Has strong skills in...great mark!

You forgot that he takes good marks! He's destined to be a dual mark of year winner. You can't pass up players like that!

I don't know how you could draw a conclusion from that video.

Yes he didn't seemed enthused about the prospect of next year at the Dees,but at the same time he also didn't have the poor body language of someone that wants out door.

I expect him gone but if clubs aren't going to pay him the Bucks he wants than he may as well stay at the club that gave him his chance at the big league.

the big offers aren't rolling in. we would keep him by default, unfortunately.

He probably thought he could cruise thru the year and big offers like GWS 2014 would just waltz thru his front door.

A bit big headed, maybe?

But he has been average this year so devalued himself badly.

Also, his manager seems a bit of a muppet:- A month ago T Viney said we wouldn't pay more that we thought he was worth. Roos said we had started talks with Jeremy but then his manager says 'hang on a minute we are talking to others and will wait and see'. Now that Jeremy is being shopped around again my take is he didn't like the probable MFC offer and finds that other clubs have cooled their heels a bit.

If he gave us the run-around he may well have done that to other clubs which would beg the question from them: how much do you actually want to play with this club?

I just hope if Jeremy stays he lifts his game to be near the top 5 in the B&F.

A reasonable expectation of a 100 game player coming into his prime.

He has been a disgrace all year. Sort of attitude that a team trying to reinstate a culture of success and respect should not tolerate. Has to go. At times this year I honestly believe he embarrassed the club and the jumper more than any player of the last 20 years.

I agree. For all the criticism of Watts lack of intensity and effort at time during his career it has never been as bad as Howes has for majority of the season.

Oh please.......That is the most stupid statement I've heard on Demonland (and that's saying something)

You must not have been watching for the past 20 years or so

So how does he keep getting a game if he is so bad....Maybe the football dept see a bit more than you.

Ever since his manager put talks on hold, Howe has been attacked on here .....Just ANOTHER whipping boy for supporters? to vent their frustrations on.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
