    Bartel with reasonable pace would be a better comparison.

    High half forward with a roving commmission (i.e. read the game and do whatever you reckon matey).

    Howie will be a star. Kids will want to wear his number.

    Neeld stated earlier in the year that he believes Howe has the ability to develop into an elite midfielder.

    His number 1 attribute is marking, surely we want to max out on that quality instead of whatever else he does. High half forward for mine, who has the scope to come up the ground and be used as a target out of defence, who can be a target through half forward and who can also play like a midfield.

    Neeld has mentioned he sees a Dale Thomas type in Howe. Needs some polish in Howe but i can see that.

    Would be good to see but I want to see him rotating deep forward, to utilize his marking. I think he has the ability to kick goals every week if he was given the chance playing at FF.

    Wish Neeld would start using non-Collingwood similes myself.

    But at least this one is understandable.

    I like it.

    Mark Lacras is good comparison with Howe.

    Well, once Howe improves his set kicks, maybe :-)

    LeCras is 183cm tall. Howe is 191 (listed as 190). That's a fair difference. LeCras is an elite kick. Howe is not.

    couldn't be bothered to comment! Howe is How good anyone could be. Ultimately a key Forward would be ideal. In the Robertson mould but a little better.. Who was it that said Footy's played between the ears..Once Howe gets this right it's all the way with J Howe

    His set shot kicking for goal seems to say he's not the greatest forward, but at the moment I think he's still better suited to a HFF than a wing. If he can develop his stamina/motor then maybe the midfield will be his home. Still feel he's a forward at heart though.

    In an interview earlier this year he said his preference is wing.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
