Boak changed his tune after Port axed Primus from memory
Port axed Primus from their memory? Wow, that's some powerful mind-control shit they've got going...

MFC should try to axe the last 7 years from their memory. I'd like to forget it too.

The merchandising department would still release a commemorative DVD "Help Me Fill in the Blanks - Melbourne Demons 2008-2014: What Happened?"

I think Martin was keen for a move but seemed like no one wanted to take the punt on him, which is strange. Always thought there must have been something strange going on behind the scenes there. If Brisbane are happy to take in a reprobate like Robinson, you'd think a much more talented boob would have been worth a look in.

I can't recall with Boak. Something about Geelong and that's about all that comes to mind.
The difference in cost to obtain Martin was far greater than just the list spot needed to get Robinson.

Teams still had to trade for Martin.

Could be a new deal for Howe?

edit - Nope, he has already put talks off until the end of the year

I hope we can work out a trade with GWS involving one of thier gun mids.
Howe isnt a free agent so 'putting contract talks on hold' doesnt carry anywhere near the same impact as a Frawley, Scully etc.

We can cover him anyway.

Howe and our first draft pick for Adam Treloar.. :thumbsu:

I know who you all are, the howe doubters. Demon16, nick grant, that armstong fellow.
Cut that shit out. Howie is a gun in his prime, these are the sort of players we need to keep. You can stick treloar or however you spell it, up your.
Im not saying this because i have some bromance for the fella, and he wears a melbourne jumper.
He is seriously a gun, i cant imagine any team wanting to part with him

Howe is a useful player and in a great team like Sydney or Hawthorn he'd probably look a lot better, but here he takes some highlight marks, racks up 15 or 20 usually tidy possessions and pops up with the odd goal. I want him to stay, but if he decides to leave at the end of the year it won't be devastating. He was pretty quiet at times last season, but if we start moving the ball a bit faster and stick him back in the forward line, he'd probably go back to kicking 20 or 30 odd goals a season. This 5th / 6th defender gig he's been getting lately is a bit of a dime a dozen job.

If we could get Treloar for Howe, I would carry Howe all the way to West Sydney on my hands and knees.

I don't think many want to get rid of Howe but if he wants to leave well he can go without structurally devastating us. I'd prefer he stay, I'm sick of losing good (or so we think at the time :p ) players every year.

Sorry Jeremy. I'm not suggesting you're shite, nor do I want you to leave.

But if you do go, you cant just walk out to a club of your choice. We will at least get a trade and frankly, if it can be part of a play for a big fish, then you can stick your contract up your own..
