Looks like they will pursue him, so what's the best reasonable outcome? Aish looks likely to stay at Brisbane so I'm hoping we try to get a few "Crisp/Greenwood" type deals done for Freeman, Seeds and BenKen.
Any love for swapping him for the much maligned Jack watts. :?:

Kennedy is contracted so does give the club some leverage. If the Dees and Ben are determined to "hook up" am sure we could parlay a deal for Howe or god forbid J Watts!

I like this idea. Not a lot to lose for either party here. Kind of speculative trades.

BKs replacement

Post by MC »

With BK looking like going to the D's, the age reports our interest in Aaron Young. The PA website describes him as a "sub specialist"

It is starting to make sense......

except there is no sub....

Have not even heard of this bloke...
Please tell me he another potential Crisp-type, with pace to burn, who cannot crack it for a full game in the Port midfield?
And not another "plodder" who slaughters the pill?

He'll be 24 next year and is yet to cement a senior berth. Does not sound too good, but let's face it, wtfwik?

Looks a lot like Crisp as a prospect, 188cm quick and hard at it. No idea if he's any good though, again just like Crisp.
Well done boys!

Howe is a free agent so there will not be a trade involved. It's all about the cash fir him.
Personally I would have a crack at Watts in this deal. He is 24 versatile and 6foot 5".
Sure he has had a poor attitude at times but he is highly skilled. A fresh start might be exactly what he needs.
Many guys that tall don't really show much until their mid twenties so he should get better.
Having said all that, if Hine does not think he has the capacity to harden up then don't bother

It doesn't much matter which player was taken with the Wellingham pick and which with the Dawes, having the three picks together was the important thing. Quantity of picks is the main key to success, allowing you to ameliorate against failures. So even though Wellingham has always been one of my favourite players, agreeing to move him on when he wanted out was the right move and pick 17 in compensation was a good outcome and remains so.
Anyone who can get a verb like "ameliorate" into a post on Nick's deserves to be "agreed with"!

Indubitably so.

As a matter of detail, I tried rubbing some ameliorate on my rash a while back, but it only got a little bit better.

Didn't think Howe was eligible for FA

Pretty sure Howe is not a free agent & a trade would need to be done for him to move clubs.
