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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
