Jeremy Howe seems headed to Collingwood in a deal worth about $400,000 a year for four seasons.
A deal will likely involve a player swap for Collingwood midfielder Ben Kennedy, who is determined to find his way to Melbourne [however, Mark Stevens on Ch 7 said Melbourne won't accept a simple swap].
Gold Coast has given up any hope he will be heading north. North Melbourne also has interest in Howe but given their second-round pick is 34 it would be harder for them to get a deal done.
-----------------------------------------------------
Collingwood believes it has had an in-principle agreement with Greater Western Sydney on midfielder
Adam Treloar for weeks.
They are prepared to hand over their first-round picks from this year and next year in exchange for Treloar and the Giants’ second-round pick from this or next year.
The Pies continue be frustrated by GWS chief executive David Matthews’ determination to play hard ball on a deal others at GWS have effectively ticked off.
They believe he would get through to their No. 7 pick in the National Draft given other clubs have their eyes on younger talent.
If he was picked up by a rival club he could play at that club for a year before requesting a trade, but the Pies say it is a last resort given their good faith in sealing a trade.
