Thanks Fifty 5 for linking that.

Wise I've told you the answer, if we can get it done. Howe to Pies. Seedsman and Freeman and Toumpas picks to Dees. ( 3 second rounders.) If Anderson is worth 15, then Howe is worth 2 middle second rounders at least. Kennedy thrown in to us, or for late pick. Our 3 picks from above deals to GWS for 8, plus because we have well over 200 point difference, which the AFL won't allow, they throw in Bugg and maybe Tomlinson. Maybe we add a late pick. We offer 6 and 8 to GC for 3 and Prestia. If needed, we add something like a player or pick that might come from another trade, like say Grimes somewhere. The above would be easier to do as they can be isolated deals. Toumpas single deal. Howe for 2 picks single deal. GWS picks for pick single deal. GC single deal. If we end up with 8 and can't do the Prestia deal, we go to draft with 6 and 8. Anyone got anything better and easier to achieve.

And their second favourite is Francis.

North adopted the Hawks style, by overpaying for Anderson and getting the deal done quickly.

I am off for breakfast with Mrs. Redleg. Nice banana smoothie is already in my thoughts.

So much anger on the Trade Board. Obviously banana deprivation.

But what about all three for 8 and Bugg and maybe Tomlinson. Those 3 picks are well above 8. Maybe we throw in a very late pick.

Apparently I have an assistant.

You should use Elyptol wipes to remove the coffee. They are great and made by Demons fan David Holmes.

Even if what you say is true, he has Viney, Taylor, Jackson, Roos and others to discuss trades with. Are you saying they are all no good?

You can only try. I would be pretty angry if we didn't at least try.

Yes if he keeps his head and they need cap space for Treloar, Aish and Howe.

Not if Carlisle goes to the Saints.

And if we end up with three 2nd round picks ( 2 from Pies via Seedsman and Freeman and 1 from Toumpas ) we are in a better position to get 8 plus Bugg plus another player or pick from GWS. We could be in the box seat. Then 8 and 6 to GC for Prestia and 3 plus something else. Kennedy for our 3rd rounder to finish off the trade week. ALL IS NOT LOST JUST YET.

Posted this on another thread, how would you react if it came off? If we get two 2nd rounders from Pies for Howe, from Freeman and Seedsman deals and another for Toumpas, we could then swap three second rounders to GWS for pick 8 and Bugg and maybe another pick or player like Tomlinson. Three 2nd rounders have far more points value than 8, which GWS need for their Academy stars. We then get Kennedy for our 3rd rounder. For the cream on the cake, we then give 8 and 6 to GC for Prestia and 3, with maybe another player or pick coming back to us.

What, Saints get done over twice.

BBO, I know why you wanted to come back so desperately, you missed the countdown. 39 just for you.

Pies now dealing with Lions on Aish. Treloar on $700k plus and Aish on say $500, how do the Pies fit in the $400k plus for Howe? Could they go off him, or release players to us to do the deal and save salary cap space?

It would be a negotiation. BTW are you now calling Howe a star? Everyone on here wanted him gone.

Rather than crying about this, I would play hard ball and get on with it. The Pies won't have the picks to satisfy us after Treloar and maybe Aish. I would rather get into Maynard's ear now and try and convince him to declare us, as where wants to go and then deal for him and Kennedy for Howe. I would then see if we could get another player like maybe Grimes, to go to GC with 6, for 3 and a pick back to use on Bugg.

So he is our slave and must go where we want. Are you serious?

But doesn't he have the right to go into the ND if he is not cleared by us, like Luke ball did. Then he could end up anywhere.

I don't want to be seen as Howe's apologist but facts are facts. Under the rules he has the right to prefer a club to go to. He apparently was a Pies fan as a kid. He and his girlfriend don't have to leave Melbourne. He gets to play in front of big crowds in the best timeslots. Players seem to be reluctant to join GC, like Seedsman today. He has developed a relationship with Buckley Yes we would prefer he went to GC, but he doesn't want to.

Can you do that?
