Josh Mahoney is about to be on SEN.

Most likely going on trumpet the merits of the Melksham deal;

Hopefully Ox actually gives him a bit of a grilling about the Howe for steak knives Kennedy plus a pick deal.

Also said he thinks Howe is worth 1st-2nd round pick

He is very angry with Howe or his manager.

Ongoing discussions with Toumpas' management and Port Adelaide regarding potential trade.

Interestingly, JM said that if Toumpas stated that he wanted to stay at MFC they would be keen to keep him - sounds like he wants out too...

Unequivocally Dawes is not part of any trade talk. (Unfortunate in the opinion of this scribe)

Same goes for Watts - absolutely no talk aside from media speculation.

So does this mean Kennedy will be a seperate deal or he wont come here at all?

On NAB Trade Radio:

Jeremy Howe: "We were a fair way down the path with Gold Coast, but he's nominated Collingwood." Mahoney says flipping Gold Coast's pick 3 for the Dees' pick 6 had been on the table. "We'll start speaking to Collingwood now to see what a trade will look like".

Jake Melksham: "We wanted to get the deal done, he was a guy we targeted at the start of Trade Period". Got him for pick 25 to Essendon.

Ben Kennedy: "At this stage we see his trade being separate to Howe's deal."

Dion Prestia: "He's a talented player and anyone who's out of contract and talented we'll target."

Yes. Mahoney said the same thing on Trade Radio as well.

Clearly he is not happy that Howe wants to go to the Pies. With their picks probably locked up in the Treloar deal it makes things difficult.

Not sure why he'd be so angry. Trading is a two way street. Howe flagged his intentions last year when he asked about the Pies after the Giants offer. GC were offering something we want, Collingwood less so, Just because he want's to go to the Pies doesn't mean we have to trade him to the Pies, he can take a chance in the PSD.

2016 1st round pick and Kennedy for Howe?

I don't like this future draft picks trading, but we can't get much more from them given they are trying to get Treloar.

don't blame him he is being asked to listen to more rubbish from pies - it would be exhausting.

True. I think the Howe deal will depend on what the Pies give up for Treloar.

I wonder if the club will aim to pry a different player loose in this deal. We might ask for a good player while also still talking to GC about a deal as well to put pressure on the Pies.

Obviously the club has it's eye on Pick 3, and probably Parish, and Howe has screwed us over.

If Gold Coast offered 3 and 19 for Howe and 6 and the Pies offer Kennedy and 26 for Howe then to be honest I'd take that.

We can beat around the bush all week but that's not a bad deal.

The Pies will offer 26 and Kennedy for Howe and 43. That's not enough

JM also said he thought it would be done by tomorrow.

Maybe I heard it wrong but that sounds quick.

The Howe trade or the Kennedy trade?

Howe as that's who they were talking about at the time.

Pretty sure it was the end of trade week, not tomorrow.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
