Roos was quick to call out Bugg and Kennedy at the press conference stating how they are competitors and that the team is really now starting to complete. 

Howe was great entertainment, but he just didn't have that burning desire to keep competing. Kennedy and Bugg just seem to have that competitiveness in them which is what we need.

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.

I find it amusing how the commentators find Howe's move down back as a "masterstroke".

Looking at his stats one would think he's improved going from an average of 10 disposals to 18. What they fail to mention is how many kick outs and freebies he now gets.

Was great to get another one up on him, and I'm glad the club didn't entice his inflated price tag.

What amuses me more is how he left the MFC to play in the forward line.

This one we can put down as a win by the FD.

didn't think he had much impact at all. did think his kicking had improved a little

I believe his kicking style was never bad, it is that he under or over kicks it when under pressure or makes a bad decision when not under pressure. The classic example was the last game he played for us against the giants was after he took a speccie, he kicked a nice kick to a team mate in the corridor, only a giant player read it well and picked it off. Then he was involved in a contested ball only for him to (literally) sit down and then the Giants kicked a goal.

It is interesting that the Magpies are using him as a distributor of the ball. It must mean his has reduced the number of poor options or the Magpies are out of options. Maybe they could do with Heath Shaw.

I think they are about ten short.

I'm still trying to work out what was Howes excuse for leaving?? Scully left for money, Rivers and Frawley for more finals action and Scott Thompson because of home sickness. But what was Howe's reasons? I know he wanted to play more forward but surely he is not that stupid to leave only to then find himself camped down back again..?

Didn't his manager give the club the run-a-round all year, making silly public claims about wanting $600K?.  I suspect the club finally ran out of patience and decided to trade him. 

I recall he was part of the trade up draft pick package with GCS but at the last minute Howe did a deal with Buckley while in Bali.  Put a spanner in the works for our pick trade up plan but thankfully Mahoney and Co were able to redeem the situation.

I feel for him. Im sure as players get over injuries he will be down forward again. If he cant be 3rd tall, I guess he goes back. I didnt like the howls he got yesterday. Some mcc member really bung it on as if we never lost big time.

Maybe he left because he was not encouraged to stay. The counter offer might have been very small.

He was pushed. Simple as that.

He priced himself out of the market to delay contract negotiations until the last minute so Collingwood could get him at fire sale prices.

In one of his first interviews on the Collingwood website he spoke about how he'd been talking to Buckley for months....

Wonder if he will get on with the new coach as well as he did with Buckley? I guess the Buckley promise of playing in the forward line won't be on the table anymore.

The only thing I'll say about Howe was, he was the the only source of enjoyment on some of the bleak days when were getting destroyed.

We didn't want him.

    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.
