They'll no doubt be desperately trying to get him as a development coach, even if he doesn't get the senior position. They must be desperate to move Neeld and Craig on.

America ain't the place to shop if you're looking for fashion.

Which makes him a perfect fit for Essendon.

He's one of 4 candidates on Essendon's senior coaching "hit list" according to the Purple [censored], alongside Worsfold, Dew and another assistant coach. [censored] off you wankers.

He spat on a former teammate just this season; he's widely despised by other players and an absolute mess off-field. Have been told plenty of horror stories from people who've run into him at clubs or the like.

[censored] OFF ESSENDON YOU SCUMBAGS! HE'S OURS!

At least Dean Terlich, Matt Jones and Ro Bail are available for selection in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

Chip costing Hawks their three-peat would make my year. MY YEAR. Please, footy gods, let it happen.

I think the club have played this flawlessly. They knew Howe would test the market and be in for a shock. We didn't take his bluff by putting forth an offer that was overs.

I doubt Jesse needs to do much of anything in those situations.

Probably should've given more of a [censored] this year, Howey. You ruined your own currency with disinterest.

Could be an $800k/year player once WADA gets their way.

8 weeks without the use of his digits? Come on Jesse, you'll just have to improvise.

He's not on indefinite leave for the epilepsy nor the seizures, but "mental illness."

I heard it the morning the news broke from someone I have no reason to doubt.

Scully will probably be rookie listed by the end of his contract purely to save face. Anyway, Curtly is a big tick from me. Great kid, competitive, had a bad year with injuries but won't cost an arm and a leg to acquire. Apparently we were interested a few years ago so he's been on our radar.

I'm puzzled that anyone here would want to keep him after the way Frawley and his manager played us last year. Would anyone give up Brayshaw now to get Chip back? You've got a player repeatedly claiming he loves the club and wants to stay but, nearly a fortnight after our 7th win, is shopping himself around. His manager is giving the club a clip over the ears that his client is unhappy about being played out of position. Sorry, must have missed the memo where players now dictate to premiership coaches where they should be playing. Oh, and not to mention pearlers like the "unhappiness factor" of being at a club that loses a lot. Yeah, I think we can all see exactly how much competitive resolve Jeremy Howe possesses. Jeremy, you wanna play forward? For starters, you need to kick more goals than behinds, and, as much as you wish they did, your speccies don't make a lick of difference to the scoreline. What this club desperately needs is players prepared to work their ass off without expecting others to do the job for them. Players that don't send their managers into radio interviews citing a "lack of clarity about the long-term likelihood of success" as reasons for unsurety of commitment. You clearly have neither the resolve nor work ethic required to earn your plaudits and this needs to be the bare minimum that we, as MFC supporters, not only expect but demand. I've seen more than enough of exorbitantly paid players expecting others to do the hard work for them; the sooner we see the back of players like Howe the closer to success we become.

Click bait for Pies supporters. All the papers do it to increase readership, even if it's bulldust.

2 wins, 4 wins, 7 wins... I'm not sure what it takes for poor Jeremy to notice trends, but that looks like an upwards curve to me. Maybe he was enlisted in the Chip Frawley School of Mathematics as well?

Surely this is a commonly held opinion? I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately the broadcasters seem to love getting biased commentators doing games. Bulldogs always get Darcy, Geelong always get Lingy, Brisbane always get Browny.

We're dealing with the Gold Coast though, where do all the E's fit in?

Coincidence or not, the first round of finals eliminated the only two finalists we'd beaten this year.

I've got a feeling Gold Coast will amount to absolutely nothing. Ablett will keep them going for a year or two to play a finals series then retire. Once the novelty of living on the Gold Coast wears off, they'll want to come home and play out their careers at the G.
