That's hyperbole.

Bate had a very good start to his career.

He hasn't kicked on, but don't rewrite history.

Nah mate it aint hyperbole, just my opinion, its only hyperbole as it dont align with your views.

Stand by my post, Howe has shown more in 3 matches than Bate has in his career.

Bate is simply a hit up forward with a booming left foot.

Happy to admit Bate has played some good footy for the Dees, had a cracking QB match a few years back, plus I think he finished 4th in a B&F but Howe is a natural footballer, Bate is a battler.

I know what you mean - Howe looks like a footballer.

But Bate had a a very good start to his career.

There is a lot of work ahead of Jeremy to avoid a similar fate.

Yeah mate for sure, you do get enticed by young talent, remember thinking how good Brad Green and Cam Bruce were gunna be after their 2000 final series, n whilst both have had very good careers you cant help but think they fell short of our lofty expectations.

One thing is for certain is that once you get a bit of a rep in the league teams start paying a bit more attention to you. The great ones handle this extra attention and develop more facets to their game. I hope Howe is a great.

I must admit I wasn't overly enthused initially when we drafted Howe. "Why take a mature age, midsized forward that nobody's heard of with an early pick" I wondered to myself. Shows how little I know! :rolleyes:

He has been fantastic. Still a long way to go, but he possesses the tools to make it. Pretty much puts an end to Bate's career at Melbourne.

I thought the same thing. But Howe isn't just a mid sized forward who could use his height, he's a genuine marker of the ball and a genuine footballer. I'm very happy with him now.

Before the start of the year I was wondering if we were going to unearth some more talent this year, and in Tapscott, Howe, Nicholson, Gawn and Evans I think we've done pretty well.

Howie's playing a great role at the club hitting up and presenting on the half forward line. He's playing very well for a third gamer. Always makes it a contest.

totally agree, breath of fresh air to have a reliable player in our 50m arc. Watts is becoming reliable and sylvia is spending time in attack. We're starting to look the goods up there again

also great profile pick. Vampira \m/

As well as the obvious ie marking, kicking both feet etc, I like his work rate when he hasn't got the ball especially his shepherding and leading.

A quality all round forward in the making.

I really like this quote:

''He's unbelievable - you can just kick it anywhere near him and he'll make the kicker look good,'' Stefan Martin said of Howe.

Certainly doesn't hurt considering our delivery sometimes.

He's quite possibly single-handedly killed off the careers of both Bate and Dunn at the MFC.

Not the craziest call i've ever heard.

His first 3 games and he's already better than Bate and Dunn have ever been

Howe is a really exciting prospect.

He doesn't have the X-factor of Jurrah, but he works hard to find the footy and uses the ball well.

I think it makes it even more difficult for Bate to crack into the team.

Agreed. Howe gives us everything Bate's meant to give us, plus more.

Bate's career with Melbourne is surely over.

Man, he makes our forward line look so much better.

21 possessions, 12 marks of which 3 were contested and 2 goals today.

For a third gamer that is some seriously impressive stuff. He's going to play a really important part in our premiership aspirations.

Yep-- It is a pity you or I haven't got him in our Ultimate footy team-RFPC has- and since gaining him has reached the 8.He is going to become a very handy player whom is allot more flexible than Robbo.Could play HBF, Wing, small/Mid/Tall forward..Great gain.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
