The fox footy article looks like it was written by a St Kilda staffer. Howard wants to accept a $3 million 5 year deal because he wants to play in defence. Pick 18 is considered overs by many. No mention of him being contracted to the end of 2022.
The more I think about it, the less attractive 18 feels. If a deal gets done it really needs to be 12 or the Bulldogs 13, or we’ve been fleeced once again. Of course, no deal at all is the best outcome by a mile.
