I just watched this kids video clip for the 10th time

The new version on the MFC site is better quality and seems longer

Boy, this has to be the best highlights video for a draftee ever

This kid has got everything, kicking, marking, recovery, second efforts, lateral movement, pace, judgement,you name it

Yeah, I know its just highlights, but I'm getting really excited

Lets hope his form translates to the big league and he's picked for round 1

Imagine him and Jurrah tearing it up - I can't wait

    No. Skipper hasn't been decided yet.

    Petterd had lunch with Howe and also has been spending alot of time with Jack Viney.

    Who says we dont have any leaders?

    He did that because he is a leader, not because of some duty related to captaincy.

    He may get it, and things like that is the reason why.

    Agree (of course). These are the sorts of things good leaders do, it's not some task assigned to the guy with the title of 'captain'.

    On Davey, whenever I think 'Davey as captain', I start thinking "arguing with the umpire and giving away a 50m and certain goal", which happened more than once in 2010. He's one of our best players and is obviously respected at the club, so he probably deserves a better assessment than that, but that's all that springs to mind. If I were choosing captains, he'd not be in the running for this reason.

    I agree Nasher, he has had plenty of time to rub this part of his game out but hasn't. Numerous times I have sworn his name when this happens. A very good player and probably a very good leader, but I can't see him as captain of the MFC and mainly for this reason.

    Totally agree. It's a real shame.

    I have another reason. In my opinion a captain needs a certain degree of toughness and I don't see it with flash. It would be soul destroying for a team, seeing their captain getting roughed up by the opposition and I could see that happening to flash, as it has in the past.

    According to TV we were thinking about taking Howe at 53 because many didn't know about him, but we got wind of Collingwood's intentions to take him.

    They thought they'd pulled a swifty, bringing him over from tassie for a secret testing.

    After the draft a couple of other teams said they were onto him too, & were waiting to pounce.

    I think we should be pretty happy with this pick.

    I suspect that's probably right, though given that there was a 5 page thread on him over on the Richmond board at Bigfooty, you wonder just how much of a smokey he actually was!

    There's certainly some gamesmanship at play.

    Indeed, and that probably boils down to the same point about his temperament. Players who are "roughed up" would usually be the ones who react negatively.

    I reckon Jeremy Howe will become a real Cult Hero at the MCG. Other Clubs are quietly very dark we got him.

    Always good to have a "sparky" on the list anyway. Never know when the power goes off!! B)

    If we're basing the captaincy on temperament and not giving away silly free kicks, well then Green wins hands down by a country mile out of the four nominees.

    Out of the four nominees - Moloney & Rivers are the ones who can handle a stoush and not be roughed up. I've seen Green go to ground once too often.

  • Quote

    Howe thought Collingwood was going to take him. Melbourne were late to the party, but made a great choice. Howe is still growing, which means he could hit the KP 193-194 mark.

    I think Rivers talks back and gets involved in the trash talk a bit too much. Gave away a couple of goals last year by talking back to umpires.

    Seems like a good kid from the interview on the MFC site, even if he was a collingwood supporter.

    Won't take long for his nickname to settle in either.

    His nickname is Bucks. That will change fast!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
