Nickname ‘Les’ due to his Bad haircut. We can’t have blokes on our list with bad haircuts. Harry O was offended so best we let him go.

Agreed. We are so far ahead on that trade it isn't funny. Howe has finished 5th and 4th in our B&F the last two years, is part of the leadership group and probably should've been AA in 2017. Meanwhile Seedsman was still optimistically hoping for a contract extension heading in to 2018...

This thread is not intended to be a seedsman thread. The reference in the heading to Seedsman was to avoid the thread being deleted.
The point observed in the thread is that the 4 guys who polled votes for Adelaide this week - Gibbs, Betts, Jaconbs and Seedsman were all traded in by Adelaide. Pretty amazing!!
PS: I am genuinely scared that Fogarty is going to forever be the one that got away. he just looks like he is going to be a gun!! I'd love to know how we talked ourselves out of this most obvious pick!

Done well not to bottom out, no doubting that. 3 of those boys are SA originals though, 2 snagged with sizable free agency deals. Still, we are proof that you can't just buy guns via free agency....

Agreed. We are so far ahead on that trade it isn't funny. Howe has finished 5th and 4th in our B&F the last two years, is part of the leadership group and probably should've been AA in 2017. Meanwhile Seedsman was still optimistically hoping for a contract extension heading in to 2018... |
By the way, its not so simple to say that we got Howe for Seedsman. Yes, that was the ACTUAL trade that happened, but it was only because both Howe and Seedsman were deemed as rejects by their respective clubs. I think its fair to say neither club thought they were giving up players of the calibre they are each performing today.
It would be nice if we had of found a way to turn Seedsman around without having to trade him. The top clubs probably have more success because they do this a little more often than the clubs that are struggling a little.

A bit of revisionism here. Howe was never considered a reject and in fact was offered $600,000+ by the Gold Coast but chose the Pies on slightly less money after his one on one with Bux.
Seedsman played well tonight and has had a good patch of form however it should be remembered he did this at the Magpies only to then get injured or suffer an attack of the clangers.
Seeds was a 4th round draft pick whose overall career has been that of a 3rd round pick.

| Seedsman asked to be traded. It's not as if the club was desperate to get rid of him. |

yes, although this season he might be the best performed player in his draft class. My understanding is that he has had his coming to jesus moment and is fully committed to footy. I dont think i ever saw him play as well for us as the last three games he's played for adelaide.

I think Seedsman only asked to be traded after Buckley gave hm a few home truths about his game and told him he wouldn't get too many more games at Collingwood if he continued playing the way he was playing. The split was beneficial for both sides. Seedsman fixed up his game. It's unfortunate he didn't do it with us but that's life. It happens all the time with players. |

And we got Jeremy Howe as part of a 4 club trade.
I think we got the better end of the deal 
DEMONS Jeremy Howe and Jimmy Toumpas and Magpies Paul Seedsman and Ben Kennedy got to their preferred new homes in a complicated four-club trade on Monday afternoon.
Howe was traded to Collingwood, Toumpas to Port Adelaide, Kennedy to Melbourne and Seedsman to Adelaide.
In the complex deal:
- Adelaide received Seedsman and gave up pick No.32;
- Collingwood received Howe and pick No.68 and gave up Seedsman and Kennedy;
- Melbourne received Kennedy and picks No.29 and 50 and gave up Howe and Toumpas;
- Port Adelaide received Toumpas and pick No.32 and gave up picks No.29, 50 and 68;

would have been better to give up someone else for Howe and rehabilitate Seedsman's attitude and work ethic so that Howe could now be kicking to Seedsman on the wing!

Players thrive in different environments, Kennedy left Hawthorn for Sydney and won a brownlow.
Good luck to Seeds but at the time I was happy for him to move on. I think it's time for some fans to let him go. |
