Is there an explanation as to why he would lie to say it was frisbee playing rather than cricket that injured him?  Is he not allowed to play cricket? Surely not since there would be 21 witnesses that he did.

Howie got his wish to spend more time in the Melbourne forward line.

The hatred for Howe on here is putrid and really sick. Get a grip people, he is a footballer who is clearly being pushed out of his club and he is looking for a another club and contract to secure hi

No way North are interested. He's under 30.

Petracca breaks his toe playing basketball, albeit being stupid. Perhaps wear shoes next time truck and no reverse slam dunks. But he owns up to it despite no-one else being there.

Jeremy Howe breaks his finger in front of a crowd and makes up a ridiculous story.

Make no mistake Roos has built a culture.

I believe it was an organized competition rather than just a backyard match, which is something that I'm sure is frowned upon by all clubs. Compound that with the fact that he wasn't yet in full training due to injury issues and you can understand why he shouldn't have been playing.

Wow.......I just don't believe the animosity toward Howe     Blokes calling him a liar, like they were there, and saw what happened.

People canning him for helping out his side playing cricket.   Don't they know that players can't do anything outside of football 24/7

Players have broken legs getting out of the shower.    Players cut there knees with chain saws (Harvey).    Players fall over in their holidays and break ankles

I reckon we should snap freeze them after the footy season and then thaw them out in time for Pre season, after all they are getting big money.

Well..... I know it's hard to believe but players are actually human and have other interests.   The media on this story is just unbelievable.    Did he do his finger playing cricket OR playing with his dog??????

Wait for the next exciting instalment when we interview the dog.

Not that I'm losing any sleep over this incident, but playing a bit of cricket in the backyard is different than playing in an organized competition when you're on a modified program with the PROFESSIONAL football team that you play for. Many athletes have clauses in their contracts that prevent them from playing other organized sports, and I would assume that would be the case with the majority of AFL footballers. 

I know that Patty Mills (NBA) was all dressed and ready to take the field for a game in the USAFL when his agent got him on the phone and said something along the lines of "What the F&(^ do you think you're doing?"

it would be interesting to know what is and isn't allowed under the contracts.

It was being discussed on SEN and it was assumed that there are many exclusions on activities outside football in contracts.

Balme said on the radio that Howe plays cricket and that is no problem.

I read between the lines and as suggested  - I don't think that the club was happy with the way Petracca got his injury

Nathan Jones surfs whenever he can ( and I would suggest with the clubs blessing or he wouldn't do it) - this comes with risk.

Lots of AFL footballers play golf during the season

So there is  no hard and fast rule as to what they are and aren't allowed to do ?

Howe is recovering from stress fractures in his foot... He should only be doing what the club tells him. If he was 100% and had trained all pre season then not so much a concern, but FFS if you are on a modified program I doubt playing cricket is on the Rehab program.

I'll put my hand up. I'll miss him. The best taker of marks I've ever seen and not just the spectacular ones. (Honourable mention must go to Greg Parke.) Did he impact games enough? Possibly not...but in the 100 games he played, not many others did either. Perhaps in a better team he may have been more productive overall.

Was 4th in marks taken for the club 2015 and was also 4th in intercepts and kicked 10 goals for the season.....Kicked some great goals and took some great marks

Also played 100 games for the club and kicked 80 goals and played all 22 games last year.

I know that any player that leaves us is now considered rubbish after they leave but I think we will miss him throughout the year.

 Classic argument against stats.

Ppl need to wakeup to what makes a player,not a selfishshow pony. a lying one it appears.

I will agree to disagree........You call him a show pony because he takes screamers.   He also takes strong marks in the back line and kicks goals when forward.   I will bookmark your post and get back to you mid year.    Stats tell you who has the ball, how many times and what they do with it.    This games takes many elements.   You can hate him all you like

P.S.    If you saw him break his finger, you can then call him a liar.   Typical ex MFC player bagger.

Its very suspicious. I mean he didnt tell the club he was playing cricket, he goes off after dropping a catch then he decides to go to the park and play frisbee? Then says he hurt it then. Jeremy you arent at melbourne now. You are at a club that  has a lot of expectations and I wouldn't want to be lying to Bucks or Balmy.

Just goes to show how differently two supporters see the same game.   I don't think he was as bad as you say.   Most in our team were not great at the above

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
