What are they giving up for him?

Possibly what they get for Seedsman, or Freeman. More likely a swap of Ben Kennedy, who I've never rated

 

[Tiger Claw]

What are they giving up for him?

Melbourne's Jeremy Howe seems headed to get to Collingwood.

Gold Coast have given up any hope he will be heading north, with the Pies set to hand him an official offer overnight or today.

A deal will likely involve a player swap for Collingwood midfielder Ben Kennedy, who is determined to find his way to Melbourne.

A deal of about $400,000 a year for four seasons.

[Wacky Tiger]

Youd imagine its

Howe for Kennedy plus a late pick

 

[Roachy8]

I'm actually starting to feel a little sorry for Chris Yarran.
Seems like he is the only poor bastard who actually wants to come to us!

So add that $400k onto the other big deals they've made and that makes it about 45% of their salary cap on 7 players
Blank cheques down at the Holden Centre, they could be in a bit of trouble trying to resign some of their young players if they come good

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Collingwood must have one of those unlimited salary caps

I reckon his perception will be changing very soon with how long we are taking to get the trade done

 

[petro12]

If the blooze trade Casbolt who is going to kick their goals?
Why do they keep getting rid of their fowards??

Straight swap Griffiths for Yarran

 

[Squibbs]

Last year we lol'd about 400K for Higgins, but now 400K for Jeremy ****ing Howe?

 

[Tiges1229]

so where is the purple flog's big breaking trade story ???

 

[Tiges1229]

Higgins was over's but had a ripper year for North

Let's be honest, there's either something dodgy going on here or the AFL's third party and family deals rules are drastically flawed.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

not big trade news but jeremy howe going to pies.

LOL, Howe is a one trick pony, if he couldnt take a hanger he would be playing in the VAFA 4th division.

Because carlton want what we wont dont want to give them. We don't want to overpay and rightly so

Plenty of jobs going at Lexus apparently....

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Is matt rosa worth a punt? I know bugger all about him. Maybe better than having moores brother?

No!

 

[wart101]

I'm genuinely interested... if you have no inside info how can you 'guarantee'???

I guess i can't except to think that this is what these guys are trained to do, this is there job, they wouldn't be sitting back twiddling there thumbs.

 

[Stigmata]

No to rosa

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Apparently suns will be giving the pies a 2nd rounder for Seedsman..who is only worth anything above Pick 55..close them up and add their list to the draft

 

[Krich]

If only Richmond could negotiate and get the Treloar deal done.

Pick 12 + next year first round + pick 49 - for Treloar and Townsend
David Astbury and Pick 31- Brisbane pick 17/21
Pick 17/21- For Yarran
Sign Lennon on.

Wins all over the board.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Mitch Grigg signs on for 1 more year.

It's official, Collingwood don't have a salary cap.

If they did, I'd say let them piss their money away on spuds.

Not getting a star mid would be disappointing, but it would make Dimma's opening address of preseason easier.

"All on you blokes" etc.

We beat Hawks, Freo & Swans FFS.

We go ok. Script is sound but we fluffed our lines, again, on EF Day. Gotta get back there for redemption

Our list is fine but relying on natural improvement two years in a row just isn't going to cut it anymore. Geelong will roar ahead of us, as will Port, as will the Bulldogs, Collingwood probably too if they get everyone they're trying to get.

We will get Rosa

Screams of trying to get someone for the sake of it. Barely in WCE best 22 and that's the level we should be aiming for next year. I liked him a few years ago but if we're not able to get a gun mid this year then hold fire.

Youd imagine its

Howe for Kennedy plus a late pick

Thought he'd nominated Collingwood.

We all hope not.
