Howe was a bit player at Melbourne with a few highlights. His game has gone to a new level at Collingwood. Its a shame some people only think of him as a half forward flanker. He's a completely different player now.

I think some people on here just pretend they have a clue when really they're just running their mouths.
Like who?

Sorry we're not talking about Heath Shaw here mate...
I thought Lever had a dodgy hammy due to his knee reco? Can't see him playing into his 30's. Buyer beware.
I don't rate Shaw all that highly either for what it is worth
why do you think you get beaten when teams smash the contest? you guys flinch.
Happy to have him for at least 9 years then

Burgoyne (35, 180 games straight) was meant to struggle to make 30 also.

No one here has yet mentioned that St Kilda have swooped in and are showing a huge amount of interest at the 11th hour ???
But I thought they were getting Fyfe/Kelly/Martin?

I think they might have learned that they are not.
Two firsts and a second is utter ridiculousness. A first round pick (not top 5) plus either a player or a second rounder is probably about what they'll get.
Maybe a top 5 pick plus some even looser change.

St Kilda would be a good fit as Gilbert nears the end.
Pick 7 + 2018 3rd?

I think it'll be either picks 6-9 and steak knives or a pick 10-12 and decent player/early 2nd rounder.
Sharenberg's body holding up ok? (excuse the spelling on his name if wrong)

6 + steak knives is fair, steak knives being a player not necessarily regarded as best 22, and both Scharenberg and Maynard are 100% in our 22.
Berg's body is holding up very well. He's played every week this year with no injury issues (might have missed a week as carry over emergency earlier on). He'll justify his selection at pick 6 next year with another full preseason under his belt.

Well don't think Shaz will justify pick 6 but he's certainly no steak knives...

He's come in off 2 knee recos and foot surgery and averaged 20 disposals, 7.5 marks, 4.5 rebound 50's and 6.5 intercepts a game. Those are legitimately good numbers for any player, let alone one who started the year on less than 10 games after 3 years of injuries.
Give him another preseason to build his tank and his physique (slimmed down intentionally the last couple of years to ease the load on his knees while rehabbing) and he'll take another step up.
In your dreams buddy.
You guys can keep Lever we have good (Langdon and Schaz) to elite (Howe) options already in the role he plays ie 3rd in defender.
Statistically Scharenberg is already surpassing him after a handful of games...I suspect after another preseason we will see Scharenbergs true potential in the role and if Pies hand you pick 6 plus him it will be day light robbery by the Crows.
Haha what a tool has nfi Howe is a better player then Lever the media and BF love getting caught up in top teams hype.
Lever plays well in a crows structure the few times he actually is made accountable he has been thrashed see the Essendon game. For the price people are saying he is supposedly worth Adelaide can keep him.
