4-6 weeks

I'm pretty sure he was a Collingwood supporter growing up. Fairly obvious why he would pick number 5 if it was available, no matter what club you play for!

Good point. I just think we should demand an offer that we win out of, instead of the old "win for both teams" scenario. As long as it's nothing outrageous, we might actually succeed. Especially with North melbournes recruiting of the last few years.

2nd rounder might be ambitious but I don't see a straight swap with Howie playing 100 games for a kid who's played 20. If Howe had a settled position, he'd be a gun. I'd still prefer him to stay.

Last years draft looks like a win for us at the moment, but we've all seen in the past how wrong we can get it. It would be a win if we could steal a young bloke who has shown something at the highest level and a 2nd round sweetener to do our best with. If only we could redirect geelongs recruiting office phone number to ours...

If Howe chooses North, I would be hoping they offer up McDonald, Turner or Dumont. Throw in a second round pick. Bastinac would also be a good trade, but those young fellas look alright.
