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

We know the upgrade of three spots at the pointy end is actually worth quite a bit. Then to also get pick 19 would mean that Howe is worth to GC somewhere around pick 10-15 (in my subjective point of view).

I think the consensus on here is that he is a second rounder roughly. So even though i would love getting this, i cant see it happening (the 6 to 3 and a third rounder is much more realistic & fair i think).

And makes the pick 25 to Melksham a lot better if we have pick 19...

I think we should do pick 6, 25 and howe to GC for picks 3 and 19. Give essendon the pick we get for Toumpas.

Won't happen but just a thought

I don't think it will happen either. In my view, the price that the manager and Howe have put on his head is just too high for a one trick pony. While I would not be sorry to trade JH for something that may boost our stocks further, I would also not be surprised if a potential trade fell through because of the price being asked.

There's talk on SEN that Melbourne and Collingwood are starting negotiations for a trade that will see Howe swap places with Ben Kennedy.

Surely we're deserving of a pick along with Kennedy.

You would think so. A second round pick and Kennedy would be good. We can then on trade that pick for Melksham.

Or if that's too much, a third round pick we can trade for Bugg.

Don't want to deal with the pies. They are known for dragging deals on and they do not have the picks to satisfy us. If it is gold coast, Maybe just get the toumpas compo and give to to the suns along with howe and pick 19

if roos, Toumpas comp + howe for pick 15

Just send Toump to port for a second rounder and get on with it!

Lots of clubs are known for dragging deals on, because some clubs don't want to give an inch and would like to get something in return. GWS want something big for Treloar, is that Collingwood's fault? Essendon want pick 5 from StKilda.

There's a few dominoes to fall first to allow other trades to get through.

The old 'Not dealing with the Pies attitude' won't serve you well.

Many didn't want a bar of GWS after the Scully & Phil saga, but the Dees dealt with them for Tyson and secured Hogan through the mini-draft.

Howe and our third rounder to Collingwood for Kennedy and their second rounder? Sits well for me, and the (later) second rounder could be used on another prospective target, ie Melksham or Bugg.

I say we agree to the best deal offered, and if Howey boy doesn't like it he can go into the PSD or main draft and try his luck. He isn't much more than a journey man, and he's not someone we'll miss or miss the pick from.

It wasn't quite like that.

Brett Anderson said that he "thinks" Collingwood is Howe's preference, however, Collingwood have other deals they have to focus on before they could turn their attention to Howe. Other clubs have good offers before Howe, so it's not like Howe will only go to Collingwood.

Additionally offers to Howe have been tabled by GC & North, an offer from Collingwood not yet on the table.

Once that's in, I expect the decision will be communicated, but it may take another day or two yet.

Not doubting that but it's also about how desperate the buyer is. If North think he could be the difference they'll pay overs for him. Doubt it will happen but not totally outside the realms of reality.

It's also that North has pick 15, not pick 25 (which I think is about correct weight), so they don't have the option of offering that.

Can only trade what you have or can get your hands on.

That's true that you can only trade what you have.

With so many speculative permutations and possibilities it's truly mind boggling what will come to fruition.

Interesting that North are interested in Howe. And I'm interested to see what their offer may be and whether it trumps GC/Coll.

Surely pick 15 is being offered by North, if they're to trump Collingwood and GC. It wouldn't be the Pies current first pick and if the Pies are after Aish and Treloar, I can't see them involved even if they are offering up Kennedy.

How about our pick 25 or even better a compo pick for say Toumpas ? (to Port for 29) and Howe for pick 15 return?

Where we could obtain Melksham with 29, keep 25, and have remaining 6, 15. Maybe Kennedy or Bugg for 3rd rounder (not sure if we could get both) and if we're somehow in the ball park where GWS are holding strong on the right deal for Treloar - offer them what they want 6 & 15 (2 x first rounders). Surely that trumps the Pies??

Holding onto 25 for our first pick.

IN: Treloar, Melksham, Bugg, (maybe Kennedy....PSD??)

OUT: Toumpas, Howe

Long shot, but from hearing Gubby this morning, GWS are looking for a better deal, other than Collingwood.

edit:

Did I just say that all out loud...

    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
