Maybe, but his game today shows why he should be kept in the side. No one else at Casey can play like he can.

Correct.

Also, not a forward's [censored] - too lazy.

Needs a job to mind a man, therefore defence all the way for me.

    I'm not saying I believe it blindly

    But on form Howe should have been dropped a loooong time ago.

    I know where you are coming from, and I'm not trying to say Howe was amazing today, but show me a player at Casey who could play near as well as Howe did today?

    All good mate!

    I see what Jaded is saying, but we aren't Hawthorn - our depth is still poor and having a guy like Howe at Casey does us no favours. As a defender who can go third man up he can be damaging. As jumbo said he is too lazy up forward, which is where he has been recently, and playing in defence forces him to play his role and stick to it.

    Not to mention, that if he does leave, his trade value plummets massively if he is rotting the season away at Casey

    I heard today from someone who knows Cam Pedersen that Jeremy Howe is gone

    Begs the question why the f he keeps getting a game (and yes he played well today)

    Motlop is out the door at Geelong, but they still play him.

    It's the way the game works these days, more like NRL than most realise, but the AFL has the sense to make sure it stays out of the public domain.

    I think I've already seen some mention on this thread.. But my mate who has great mail on the demons. Reckons we are into Dion Prestia big time. I'm not sure he's the A + Mid roos is talking about.. But FMD he would be handy..

    Hopefully this A+ Mid is big Patty D!!

    So you rate him as a A grader now

    He only found out he was short a few pages back. The bloke hasnt even seen Prestia play.

    Seen him play many times.

    I reckon Col would make a great Gaelic footy player. He has an Irish posture. Anyone we can trade for from Eire?

    As I've said im extremely confident dion prestia will be here next year, i also don't underestimate the difference a fully fit petracca and Trengove could make to our list, personal opinion but I'd also look hard at scott selwood and jake carlisle, not saying we would get them but they'd certainly make a difference.

    Howe and second rounder- prestia

    First rounder for carlisle & pick

    Selwood via f/a

    Petracca and trenners back in and we are looking alright

    Think Prestia might command Howe and first rounder, but hope you are right SPR. Whatever it takes. Now where have I heard that before?........

    Depends on how teams rate howe, he's quite unique in his marketability and there is no shortage of demand for him, but ultimately it was a spitball.

  • Quote

    Prestia and Motlop. Inside and out. If Howe and a second-rounder bagged DP ( highly doubtful in my mind) then we could score both no? Prestia I think an early first and Motlop a late first - 15ish+ Can we juggle it?

    I'd love to get our hands on Motlop. He was clearly Geelongs best against us, one of their few players who was a winner on the day. He's an outside player who can do inside things if he has to and hits the scoreboard. Exactly what we need to compliment our battery of inside beasts.

    Prestia, Carlisle and Motlop would be nice but seems to be a big task, after today forget Luenberger, Gawn looks the goods target Prestia and another 2 decent depth midfielders and ideally another forward to help out hogan so we don't become too hogan conscious

  • Quote

    Can never have enough quality midfielders, lord knows we've never had anywhere near enough in the last decade.

    Prestia, Selwood, Motlop, Danger, Treloar....... go hard at them all and if we win another 3-4 games the MFC might just look like a tempting destination for a couple.

  • Quote

    wow I just looked Prestia up on Footywire and hes listed at 175 cm.. had no idea he was that short

    Good player and a ball magnet, but I wouldn't give our first pick for him

    I don't think you have seen him. You would have realised how short he was if you had. It sort of sticks out.

    Do you still think that he is not good enough for our first round pick?

    What do you think is a fair offer?

    I've heard from a reliable source that Stevie Motlop is the A grader that is being discussed at the moment........... And before you ask I have an in with the local butcher down at Geelong who is good friends with stevies dog groomer, who supplies free range food to stevies dog.

    Unfortunately, with your 8 posts, Mr Cardwell, you won't be taken particularly seriously on this one.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
