LegsLeoncelli 162 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 And once more a training thread gets derailed. Yeah, you're right. I've overstepped the line. I sincerely apologize. Have a good one.
Ron Burgundy 8,588 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The Boyd move changed the whole landscape, followed by Griffen Unfortunately I think we are going the way of European soccer where the managers are driving the change Howe immediately knocked back an 11th hour trade to GWS last year Not sure if they come knocking again with a ridiculous offer, might be too good to refuse, of course he needs a good year as well Depends on what he sees as the future with MFC Interesting the blurb said his manager was 'testing the market' From what I have seen and heard from him, he is very happy at MFC, but then again one of his best mates still is Chip Frawley From now on I won't believe anything about players contracts anymore until the end of the trade/draft period next November (a new troll I see, may read if I need a laugh) Top post. The GWS approach for Howe last year - was it legitimate, or was it merely intended to be disruptive? Pick 7 or so would've been okay for him. In fact, Nakia Cockatoo would've been an attractive option for Howe IF Howe is entertaining leaving at the end of this season. That said, he strikes me as the loyal type. Hope he re-signs.

That said, he strikes me as the loyal type. Hope he re-signs. No it was legitimate, I spoke to Howie about it at the start of pre season, was asked was he interested in talking to them and gave an immediate and flat no One thing I like about Roos, is there is no sentiment in anything, he knows the game has changed and will do anything he thinks is the right thing for the club, including making everybody tradeable. Think Howie feels he owes the club, could still be an electrician in Dodges Ferry if we hadn't taken the punt, but if the Club gets an offer it can't refuse, who knows?
What 18,810 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 if Howe plays does that mean Vince wont? Cant imagine taking in two underdone players

If we didn't take him, Richmond would have picked him up with the pick they used on Brad Helbig (who was delisted last year).
Gator 18,055 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Not sure about this! If we didn't take him, Richmond would have picked him up with the pick they used on Brad Helbig (who was delisted last year). Correct. Collingwood also had interest. He was a good get, but he was always going to be drafted even if he flew under the radar of media outlets at the time. There were threads about him in other football forums in late 2009, a year before he was drafted
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Howe would have been drafted that year. IIRC there were several all clubs in the mix, but we obviously got in first. An ex recruiting mate of mine said after the draft he questioned whether Howe had more strings to his bow beyond marking. Said he was expected to get picked mid draft. Can't remember and CBF googling what pick he went. But there was no chance he would still be a sparky in Tassie.
The Devil Inside 2,147 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 "Think Howie feels he owes the club, could still be an electrician in Dodges Ferry if we hadn't taken the punt" That is how he told me he feels, not me surmising about whether he would have been drafted or not.
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 No need to get stroppy chap. You didn't say he told you that (if in fact he did), you said you think. But there is certainly no chance he wouldn't have been drafted.

red and blue forever 1,074 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Shouldn't be training, in fact shouldn't even be at the club if that was the case. Might be MFCSS but I'm now predicting we have about 5 missing and 5 under the weather in round 1. You have gastro you stay home people. is it just me or do we seem to get an aweful lot of gastro?? new diet perhaps??
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 He was drafted in November 2010. The thread I'm talking about was a year earlier in 2009. Sorry mate I wasn't clear, was referring to the that year he was drafted not the year of the threads. I wasn't responding to your quote in particular. All good.
mdemonski2 403 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 is it just me or do we seem to get an aweful lot of gastro?? new diet perhaps?? I blame Jack Watts.
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 is it just me or do we seem to get an aweful lot of gastro?? new diet perhaps?? I get the shits after a lot of Melbourne games so there is definitely something in that #shitgate

Pick 7 or so would've been okay for him. Pick 7 would have been okay?! It would have been Christmas. For me Howe is a lot of gloss and not much substance. Will take the hanger but then miss the set shot from 35m out.
Demon trucker 1,800 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 When we become a good team you need someone like Howie to spark the team.
SaberFang 7,151 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Wonder if we would've taken Cockatoo with pick 7. I reckon everyone skipped a gem there. [censored] Geelong, of all the teams.
