Why?

 

[jasonwilde]

Why?

Because it's his thing. And he is quite a liked poster on here.

Why not? What joy would one possibly get of denying Dave this?

Good guy Matt.

 

[Bard]

Port must be laughing at this trade, they've given up literally nothing for a former pick 4.

We should've got a better pick back in return for giving up Kennedy and Seedsman

We could probably give up pick 50 for Jack Watts, a former #1. The only thing separating the two players is that Watts has at least shown he can play at AFL level.

How good is this for Howe!, just like Nba 2k16 mycareer drafted to a shitty club do your time until you can finally ask for a trade to the club you supported as a kid!... Yes I'm a 2k addict

Joy? Were do you get that from?

I guess I like everyone to have the same opportunity.

Dave, it brings me joy that you are so damn enthusiastic to welcome our new black and white brothers!

Thanks Mate

 

[Somebody]

So we gave two players for one? Seed and Kennedy for Howe? I'd hope we get some picks in there somewhere

IT's basically Kennedy for Howe IMO. I think Kennedy is going to be good.

 

[Somebody]

Pick 32 & Kennedy for Howe? We have been reamed:

I think it was ADelaide gave up pick 32

 

[Somebody]

"Report the information...." please, SEN and a few footy twitter pages announce it's currently happening and you Welcome Jeremy before the deal is finalised and we know what the trade actually is. You've ruined trade week.

Such loyalty to TD!

 

[Somebody]

Now we know why nothing has happened with Treloar yet. They have spent all their time on this Mega Deal.

Mega steak knives flea market

 

[Somebody]

Seedsman is worth maximum pick 60 and Kennedy around pick 40 imo*. Good deal for us. Port did the best though.

*We still may have been able to get better deals for those players however.

Depends how Toumpas goes - looking like a top 5 dud at this stage.

Nah we need the healthy competition, esp in the off-season

WE need posters with mongrel...

IT's basically Kennedy for Howe IMO. I think Kennedy is going to be good.

How do you figure that? Do you not rate Seedsman? The pick we got us as good as useless.

To be frank I don't really know if it's a good trade or not. Howe is very difficult to value given he has been a one trick pony so far in his career.

I think we got dudded but time will tell

 

[PieNSauce]

I hope I'm wrong and all our players are guns and we win 5 flags. Unfortunately I think we are miles off it. WSe will improve over the next 2 years but then we will be a fair bit short of winning a flag and with no top end draftees over the preceding 2 years.

Colour me optimistic but I disagree with your appraisal of our list. What I've seen over the last two years can be looked at a couple of different ways but I believe that our second halves of both seasons were inevitable with a young inexperienced list. Add to the natural tendency of underdeveloped players to fall away as seasons roll on and niggling injuries and fatigue set in the fact that we had too many of our more experienced players unavailable especially late in 2014 and I'm hopeful of a quantum improvement in 2016. Of course luck always plays a big part but going by what these kids were able to do in the front half of both seasons and now have significantly more development into them, I am excited to think what might be possible. What's more, that doesn't even take into account the potential of adding some more developed players to the list if we are adding Howe and potentially Treloar and/or Aishe.

I certainly see the other side of the discussion but I'm reasonably convinced that the main thing holding the side back has been lack of experience. That situation doesn't fix itself overnight but I suspect that some of our kids are ready to break out while others will be better prepared to take on a full season. Rose coloured glasses? Maybe but I believe justified.

I'm a little in your camp on this trade. Too early to judge value until we see what Howe can produce. We know he can be spectacular but whether or not he can produce good consistent and disciplined footy we will have to wait and see. My hope is that his obvious enthusiasm for the game can be translated in a similar way to what Daisy achieved in 2010/11 but that's a big call. Jury is definitely out on this one I reckon.

 

[Somebody]

Moore, Grundy, Scharenberg, DeGoey, Treloar, Crisp, Greenwood, Langdon, Marsh, Howe, Adams, Broomhead, Langdon, Ramsay, Maynard, Varcoe, Marsh, Cox, Aish.

Perhaps you need to step back a bit to smell the roses.

and you forgot Marley

 

[Somebody]

Howe will be an excellent player for us.

I don't know Howe

 

[Somebody]

How do you figure that? Do you not rate Seedsman? ..............

Basically true

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Basically true

Fair enough, but he's not completely hopeless or without value. As I stated this trade is extremely difficult to value due to the unknown upsides if all three players, especially Howe. All have some talent and a have limitations that they may be able to work on.
