Ally Oop to Howe

Featured Replies

Posted

Do you think when players see Howe down the field with a player in front of him, they go "I reckon I can just bomb it right over that guys head.." ?

 

Probably. I know that if I was playing and looking for a target and I saw him one-on-one, I'd put the ball right in the air for him.

The opposition certainly know about him. Countless times I have seen him being blocked (illegally) from taking a run at the high ball.

 

I don't think enough of our kicking skills to think we have any players that can deliberately sit the ball on top of the oppositions head for Howe to take hangers.

I think our lack of kicking skills are making it look more deliberate. Howe's just good enough to pluck it out of the air.


Has contract talks started with Howe yet?

Did they throw a big bag of cash over CS' head for Howe to take a big hanger? Couldn't he hang onto it?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
