Any love for swapping him for the much maligned Jack watts.Neil Appleby wrote:I'm in the right place now. Josh Mahoney spoke on Trade Radio today and said that Melbourne had already had talks with Ben. 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.

I like this idea. Not a lot to lose for either party here. Kind of speculative trades.inxs88 wrote: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!

It is starting to make sense......
except there is no sub....
Howe is a free agent so there will not be a trade involved. It's all about the cash fir him.kymbo5@yahoo.com.au wrote:I like this idea. Not a lot to lose for either party here.

Wow! Exactly the sort of player we are going to really, really need next year!MC wrote:the age reports our interest in Aaron Young. The PA website describes him as a "sub specialist"
Indubitably so.themonk wrote:Impressive, most impressiveinxs88 wrote:Anyone who can get a verb like "ameliorate" into a post on Nick's deserves to be "agreed with"!AN_Inkling wrote:I don't think there's much point in hindsight here. Sure, Kennedy's the one that looks as if he might not work out, but it could have been Broomhead or Grundy. 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.
Didn't think Howe was eligible for FAPebbles Rocks wrote: 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
Pretty sure Howe is not a free agent & a trade would need to be done for him to move clubs.Pebbles Rocks wrote:Howe is a free agent so there will not be a trade involved.
