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.

Posted

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
