Howe has x factor and i expect him to get better , maybe much better

What he has to watch is his decision to go for the big mark or not as he is quite good at ground level

While a mark is best , second best is keeping the ball in that forward 50 not into an opposing players crumbing hands especially if it his direct oppnent

Definatley looks a forward but where ?

Neeld has some thinking to do

Clark , Tapscott, Green , Jurrah , Davey , Cook, Fitzpatrick , Howe , Sylvia , Watts , Morton , Pettard , Bate and Martin etc are all IMO fighting for a foward spot

Clark is a lock as we didnt recruit him to pay at Casey

Really enjoy watching thsi guy

Has a bit of Greg Parke about him

Robbo, with far far more common sense, accountability, team orientation and defensive skills and attitude.

Could be a really big thing, and a huge bargain.

Could be a mid, or a decent tall fast marking forward.

To me he will play both forward and mid and develop into a very exciting player. He will give us a great target around the ground not just up forward with his marking ability.

Yep, one of the few carrying the load at present. Wasn't a perfect game today by any stretch, but he worked very hard and was literally everywhere. Really loving his development at the moment.

Currently in my mind he's a player who takes hangers, kicks behinds and makes shit decisions when he gets it in the middle of the ground. Probably doesn't deserved to be picked on but he's frustrating me.

Surely other deserve more scrutiny?

Those that wait for a player to be covered before they handball to him?

Those that handball to a teammate two feet away?

Those that tap the ball to their feet in a rucking contest?

Those that refuse to spread and cover the ball like moths around a light?

Surely?

Needs a kicking coach desperately.

A cantankerous old coot called Bluey on 'Ology labelled him Hookfoot Howe a ways back and if you watch his shot at goal in the first quarter you'll see how apt that is. He swung his leg across his body so dramatically it was never going to be a goal.

If that can be corrected we've got a 10 year forward who will bag 50 a year, but right now we've got a bag of wasted opportunities.

Would like to see him tag the likes of Scotland or Robinson next week, or maybe even Gibbs. Then have him tagging Thomas or Heath Shaw the week after.

Ideal time for him to work of his accountability. Think he can play that role that Stevie J plays, and do it really well.

People will remember him for his hangers, but he's got a lot of tricks.

He has good pace, is clean, skilled (despite some yips at the moment) and a really good work rate. He could be a really good, high possession half forward or perhaps even a midfielder. The hangers are just fun to watch.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
