I don't get this whole situation.

If he's out of contract, how come we get to trade something for him?

How do we own him at all?

he is not out of contract quite yet. contract year ends after trade time

What it says is that he has agreed to move to the Pies...instead of

He has nominated the pies as his preferred club.

The latter statement is the reality and the actual statement is really only one in hope.

So we let him go to the PSD with nod and a wink to Carltank. Enjoy Carlton Jeremy.

It has to be Howe for Kennedy and Pick 26 (which will explain why we offloaded 25 for Melksham).

I don't think we got true value out of this trade.

So we get Melksham and Kennedy for Howe and dropping 1 draft spot in second round.

Looking at it that way it's probably reasonable deal.

Mahoney on SEN
- Expressed frustration that this spanner has been thrown in the works from Howe
- Had gone a long way down the road with Gold Coast in negotiations
- Views Kennedy as a seperate deal to the Howe one
- No chance of forcing him into the PSD

Mahoney said on SEN that '...+ pick 6 and Howe for GCS pick 3 and there were other things around that' were part of the GCS negotiations that had been worked thru'. MFC will now deal with Pies. Trade will happen this week. A 1st to 2nd rnd pick will get it done.

Mahoney sounded incredibly flat.

We have publicly declared our hand.

I am incredibly deflated right now.

We will never know what the GCS deal was and what Howe going to Pies will cost us.

Why can't we play hard ball...just once!

Has a better relationship with Buckley than he does with Roos? Wow. Says more about the kind of guy Howe is.

Bye bye bogan.

Nothing whatsoever to do with relationships it has everything to do with $$$$ - $400k a year is a lot of coin to a guy plucked from some obscure Tasmanian village and given a break by MFC - bottom line is our FD did not rate him that much so we move on and try and extract the best possible trade to advance our cause - I for one do not think he is the sort of character that I would rely upon to stand up in finals when the heat is really on - Brayshaw, Hogan, Viney, Petracca, Vince, Jones, YES

Howe not sure !

Way to screw over the club that gave you senior games when you should have been rotting in the VFL. What a piece of [censored] this guy is.

Mahoney also said part of the GC deal was to swap picks 3 & 6. Suns have offered a contract to Howe.

Get stuffed Pies, unless they give us something bloody good we should nominate Suns as our 'preferred' trading club.

We can't force a player to go where they don't want to. All we could do would be to force him to the PSD, but that's cutting off our nose to spite our face.

Collingwood can get [censored], either make them do a better deal than GC or just trade him to GC.

I don't see why the player gets a say.

Nice of Howe to give us a kick in the balls as he leaves the building.

I never disliked him but after today he is right up there on my Scullyometer.

Well done.

Can you do that?

We could do that, what is the difference between the Howe & Carlisle scenarios? Essendon are looking to deal with the clubs that satisfy their needs versus Melbourne looking to do a deal with the club that suits Howe's needs. Mahoney needs to grow a set, that is the difference.

Get stuffed Howe. Screwing us til the very end.

Really [censored] stuff from him. Wasted the entire season giving him games while he ran around doing SFA, and now he makes a final hour decision after we've already made a deal with GC.

I want so bad to throw him into the PSD, but I know we can't afford to. He deserves it though!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
