Why isn't he a natural footballer? Looks like one to me.

Oh but he's soft and light.... Next Sam Mitchell

Howe, Toumpas and 32 for Kennedy, 29 and 50 Welldone MFC

Yeah fair point but do you really think Frawley didn't put in as much last year as he did this year? You could easily just as say that Frawley had a better year this year purely due to the fact that he was playing for the top team in the competition. I would of have thought if the team improved next year so would of Howe's performances. Anyway as a poster said before, he hasn't committed so f him.

I'm a bit befuddled as to why so many people want Howe out. Seems to me whenever he plays well, we play well. Must have finished in our top 10 in the b&f over the past couple of years. Clearly his asking price is the issue. I'm a bit a flat about the whole thing

McDonald won't come back as long as Connolly is at the club.

Interesting how the article turns into a Dees bashing affair after 3 sentences.

Essendon, in a pack near the goal square?

Haha no way?

That doesn't sound like a settlement to me.

Oh well at least there's a cat and tiger in there. Nothing in it but you'd expect better than bogan behaivour

Hopefully we're doing our due diligence with this kid. He's ours for the taking

The only "high" draft pick we gave away in essence was 13. Which effectively netted us Dawes and Barry. Is that a loss? At this point in time probably, but who knows? We'll have to wait and see.

Hmm Clearly we have grave concerns over his ability to develop a tank. I don't know still think we should have seen out his contract

I don't know about that. Have heard somethings to the contrary

Shocking year no doubt. Didn't respond well to the new training regime. However, I fail to see why that's a reason to get rid of him so hastily. Has talent to get the ball and we are bereft in that area. KEEP

I was thinking Stefan Martin and 39 Or am I totally overrating Martin's value?

God now I want us to take Viney at 3

Great pick up for where we are at

Melbourne aren't budging on a 2 yr deal, Geelong offering 3

If GC bid on Viney, there is no way pick 4 will depart

I agree with this. The kid is the Dad's recruiting manager FFS It's actually embarrassing how inept club is.

I don't quite understand your logic Do you know Jack Viney personally?

Why not? Take away the fact that Melbourne has the right to take Jack under the father son rule and he is just another young player looking to get drafted that has signalled his intentions that he would like to stay at home as opposed to uprooting his life and moving interstate. It happens all the time. Natanui, Wingard are all examples of players indicating to interstate clubs that it's their preference to stay at home. I just don't see how it is any different?

i just can't see why GC would bid. Assuming Jack has gone in there and said something along the lines of "I don't want to move away from home". We all know interstate kids have done it to Victorian clubs to deter them? What about Elliot Kavanagh's dad scaring off all the clubs last year until he got drafted to Essendon? What's the difference? It isn't draft tampering. It's just a kid expressing his thoughts on moving interstate. It's pretty simple
