What

I am so glad to see the back of Howe. I called for him to be dropped many times over the last two years. We carried him when he gave us nothing. Played maybe 2-3 serviceabloe games a year. The bloke is a lazy, putrid footballer.

Wow, couldn't even get two 2nd rounders for Toump and Hoiwe, Depressing stuff considering the trade we had lined up with the Suns. In summary, [censored] off Jeremy Howe you pea hearted tattooed lazy [censored].

the whole trade period is being held up by a few teams as per usual Funny how it always seems to be Esssendon and Collingwood that do it. If it stops other teams from finalizing trades the AFL should extend trade this period by a day or two... its not fair otherwise.

I am hoping for a 12 month ban. It wont hurt us too much, we can get by easily without Melksham for a season. But it will completely screw the Bombers and write off another campaign for them.... of the 34 accused they still have Watson, Hurley, Heppell, Bellchambers, Hooker, Hibberd, Hoiwlett, Colyer, Pears, Myers and a couple more on their list. They wont win a game if they lose them them all for the year.

As others have pointed out best 22 is a flawed exercise. (Although admittedly a fun one) Id love to see some historic stats for how many times a team has taken to the field with their 'best 22'. It would be rare as hens teeth.

Howe and 6 for pick 1 Howe can stay in VIc still and Carlton will offer him the same money as the Pies youd think We need to brainwash him into wanting to play for the Blues.. any psychics here?

I have done a complete 180.. I think im gonna like this guy. Language warning

Plus we seem to get on well with GWS.... Tyson/Salem deal, Sam Frost deal, Tom Bugg likely coming in Hopefully they want to trade with us for pick 8 , they get what they want and it wont give the Druggos a helping hand

Here are the 2nd round picks currently held by the three other teams in the reported trade Pick 26. Collingwood Pick 28. Adelaide Pick 29. Port Adelaide Pick 32. Adelaide

Im no draft expert but Balic doesn't interest me at all. If we stay at pick 6 I am praying for Curnow.

Makes no sense indeed. If anything Mahoney sounds like hes doing a fine job considering the trade we had lined up with the Suns to get us pick 3. Its not his or anyone elses fault that Howe wants to play for the Filth.

I think Mahoney and Ashcroft will still be work out a deal centering around the pick 3 and 6 swap even with Howe off the radar. Anyone else get that vibe?

If we wanted a guy in his mould and the same age we would have just kept Cross

Wont have to wait too long, trade period ends Thursday.

Someone at the club please sign this guy up before trade period ends

Reddens a way better player than Howe, and in this draft pick 17 was a fair trade for him. But pick 15 for Jed Anderson..... thats a terrible trade by North and yet another gift to the Hawks.

If we are getting in 2nd rounders to trade to GWS for pick 8 it will be genius. We should get ourselves in a decent position pick wise if we are trading out both Howe an Toumpas. Lets see what evolves

Jesse White heheheheehe Could make the case he is the worst tall forward in the entire comp

I wonder if Watts would be open to a move to Gold Coast and if they'd want him? Watts and pick 6 for pick 3 and a 2nd rouncer

You'd hope we are into Tomlinson.

Terry Wallaca LMAO Id take the list analysis of any Demonlander over his

I reckon at least a quarter of those goals came against GWS and Gold Coast when every man and his dog were kicking bags against them. He would have averaged a pitiful 1 goal a game against non expansion teams as a permanent forward that year. Howe aint no goal kicker.

Why is everyone pinning things on Mahoney? Is it cos hes our spokesperson in trade week? Pretty ridiculous hes being thrown under the bus when he hasnt done anything wrong

Melskshams the kind of bloke you despise if hes the opposition, but worship if hes in your jumper. Anyone with aggro is a welcome addition, and I hope he puts his boxing skills to good use against Howe on queens birthday.

We seem to have a very good relationship with GWS at trade time. Hopefully we can work something out with them to get pick 8 and they tell Essendope to pizz off
