J.Howe must be offerd a 4 year deal now.

Howe far away is he from putting pen to paper?

This kid will be a star once he learns to kick and run a full game in the middle.

Im sure there would be other clubs looking at this gem.

Get this done ASAP.

Anyone have any info cheers?

    Not a silly thought, but you just have to hope the club are well aware of this and due processes are already underway. Pretty good recruiting from BP with Howe.

    As long as MFC dont turn him into a dud, which we have been good at doing in recent yrs....

    4 years for player who still by your own admission needs to "learn to kick"?

    I like Howe as a player but he's far from proven at this stage.

    I worry about this kid

    How good would he be in a good side

    I can just imagine him at Collingwood or Hawthorn

    His reputation would be 10 times what it is right now.

    there would be no shortage of offers around to his management.

    I hope for some strange reason he likes playing with dees.

    If the kid wants to play finals any time in the next 5 years his plans may be elsewhere.

    He is the prime one of the un signed group

    3 Years is Pllenty, while he's still learning the ropes.

    Nathan Jones is.

    Howe is the most talented footy player at the club. Could be anything if he is up for it.

    He kicks off one step and as the boys at training can tell you - rpfc hates it when people Kick. Off. One. Step.

    He's just a natural footballer.

    Hes worth a four or five year deal.

    His kicking isn't that bad .

    He's a part of the future for sure.

    Another one of the butcher brigade

    He seems like he loves being at the dees.

    Always looks happy and a bit of a class clown.

    I think other clubs would allready be talking to him eddie comes to mind.

    We cant let this kid go fullstop.

    This kid could be elite in 2 years.

    Col Garland is/was incredibly happy to be at the club I think you will agree?

    Very quiet fellow is Colin. And reserved.

    It takes all kinds.

    And all kinds can be happy at a club.

    Including a young ranga whose best mate didn't want to play with him.

    (I veered that comment for my own point there so don't read too much into it, BJ)

    He has been one of the few good stories of our season. But the words 'learn to kick' always worry me. We said the same about many players in the past.

    No to 4 years. Should be 2 possibly 3.

    As Neeld said. He provides a bit of a highlight reel. Needs to find more consistency and that will only come with time in the game.

    Hope he spends it with us.

    dont agree with everything in this thread but i do agree that we should make signing him up one of our highest priorities, alnong with Jones

    If were to somehow end up with no Jurrah and no Howe, we'd be the most boring team to watch in the AFL.

    Gee, a senior player who couldn',t kick to save himself, four year contract along with Jamar and Tackles Mckenzie, going to be a long few years.

    Think it through - Eddie doesnt come to mind at all. How would he get there ? If he rejects all offers and we cantor wont do a deal with him - two choices - we trade to the highest bidder pre draft or he goes into the draft and takes pot luck who he goes to. Collingwood dont have the money for him and he wouldnt last in the pot luck draft until Collingwood. No way.

    Shouldn't be a problem now he is in the midfield rotation. Brain (sic) Royal should be able to make it another of his coaching successes.

    Howe has been OK but I think his ability has been oversold somewhat. If he learns to nail his set shots he will be an asset, but if not he could easily turn into another Petterd or Dunn.

    3 years, perhaps with incentives. Front load if possible. Avg $300k per yr.

    That is very generous for a second year player with skill issues.

    If he is the star many say, negotiate a new contract half way through his new 3 yr deal.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
