2011 Player Review - # 38 Jeremy Howe


Demonland

Recommended Posts

An exciting find for the club, the high marking Howe showed many dimensions to his game. 

He proved to be not only good around goal, but also played some good football when played further afield with his excellent foot skills and decision making.

Nobody had heard of him when we took him with our mid 30s pick. Inspired pick it would seem, and from what I remember Prendergast took him that early because he feared he'd be gone by the next pick (Collingwood?)

Needs to find some consistency as his game's not 100% there yet, but he's a really exciting prospect that had a fantastic first year.

Really caught the eye with the effort and ability he showed in the QB clash. I think it's always the mark of a good young player when they can stand up in matches when you're getting thrashed.

Looks like he believes he belongs at the level and, to my mind, has the best all-round natural game out of all of the mid-sized forwards we have (including Petterd and Jurrah).

He hopefully will be able to combine with Liam to be the unpredictable 'spark' players, feeding off and supplementing the stronger Clark, and Watts.

He seems to have learned to read the play pretty well, and should only get better with improved fitness and hardness, as well as having more solid players around him.

I am really looking forward to his second season.

He's a footy player.

He's got a footy brain and looked to have an appetite for the defensive stuff that others, er, don't...

The beauty of Clark is that now Howe should rarely find himself out of a more comfortable role on the flank than the main target across HF.

One thing I will say from experience: it may take some time to adapt to a role where you are dictated to move by another, and he is going to have to adapt to the presence of Clark.

I have little doubt he can be a HFF for a long time though.

Howie is looking very much like an inspired pick after an excellent first season. He seems to be a very 'complete' footballer - great hands and a good kick, but just as importantly, he is 'football savvy', does the one percenters / team things very well and he seems very calm / level-headed the way he goes about it. I'd expect him it improve in 2012 with a second pre-season under his belt, more experience at the top level and a decent forward structure around him. If he can add consistency to his game, he has the ability imo, to be a high-level player and (dare I say it?) maybe even a match-winner on his day. Good stuff Howie!

Could often end up being that player who isn't shown enough respect by the opposition (with Watts, Clark, Jurrah running around) and subsequently will play even better with less attention on him. Could be competing with Petterd for a spot although with Greeny retiring not far into the the future more room will open up for him. Also depends on where Watts and Clark are played. Still... very excited and looks to be a great pickup by BP.

Everyone loves a speccy too :) more excitement = more fans through the gate.

Got a sticky set of fingers and the comparisons to Russell Robertson have well and truly been justified. However, and with no disrespect to Robbo, Howe seems to have a few more tricks up his sleeve.

Robbo kicked a lot of goals. He had a lot of deficiencies and sadly many of us mostly remember him for his last few seasons of him laying prone, punching the ground as his opponent ran up the ground with the ball, but when he was in his prime he was a huge threat to the goals. Howe has a higher work ethic than Robbo so I'd expect the ground-punch is not in his repertoire, but he'll need to hit the goals more for the comparison to hold.

Early days yet, obviously.

18 goals from 13 games is a great return for a first year player (and I think he only played one quarter as a sub in a couple of those games too). Very impressive marking too..

^This. And another year in the AFL system should see further improvement.

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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
