when did he leave ?

Not sure, recently I think. Why?

[dazzledavey36 54,214]

Soo did anyone actually find out why Howe left? Lol.. just find it funny that he shopped himself around for the big bucks only to come back stone face with pretty much the same offer we offered him along with Collingwood.

Was it money? Opportunities?

I'm finding it really hard to be mature about this development.

MFC had a total ban on playing frisbee with your dog.  

[Bang Bang Bang 5,801]

According to the Herald Sun

Howe was playing cricket, dropped a catch, went off favouring his hand, didn't bat (despite playing in the top order in earlier games) and then claims he broke his finger playing frisbee later that day.

I know footballers aren't meant to be the sharpest tools in the shed but come on...

For Jeremy Howe to incur a freak injury like this suggests to me that he's still a Demon at heart because it's the type of injury that you would usually expect a MFC player to suffer.

Particularly in the pre-season.

If that's how he broke his finger and how he reported it to his new club, then I take back what I wrote about him still being a Demon at heart. He's now Collingwood through and through. Probably, had a few teeth removed since we traded him. ?

So out of all the excuses Howe could come up with playing frisbee was the best??

Fmd how stupid can these guys get..

I think he was being shopped around.

Oh Howe the truth is bent.

Jeremy ain't sharp ...but he is a ....

[In Harmes Way 7,735]

I wonder if Colllingwood will get a top up player from the AFL....

[Lucifers Hero 39,504]

Neil  Balme claims Howe told him the frisbee story: “I can only report what he told me and I do understand that he played cricket, which is OK. But, he didn’t break his finger playing cricket so I don’t know why he wouldn’t tell me he broke his finger playing cricket, If he broke his finger playing cricket,” football manager Neil Balme told SEN radio.'  http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl

Hope Jeremy told the club the true story whatever it is...Eddie went ballistic last time a player lied to the club. 

Not an auspicious start by JH.

Edit:  The article above also says: "Howe bowled four overs in the match — finishing with 0-20 — despite battling stress fractures in his feet earlier in the pre-season and not yet resuming full training".  Why on earth would be be bowling while injured!  Perhaps playing cricket is not quite as ok as Balme wants us to think. 

My guess is he is getting quite a talking to.

I don't think he is going to enjoy his time at Collingwood very much. Their rabid supporter base will turn on him very quickly once they realise he has no value beyond the odd speccy.

Karma.

Dawes > Dodgy Calf

Howe > Dodges Fairies

Nuts!

Her first ever favourite player...goneski. I'm happy to wait until the end of trade period to see how the club goes overall but speaking as the dad of a shattered 8-year old Demon*, Jeremy, you've just made The List (I left a couple of Homer's originals there...because having Fat Free Lard and Gravity under phat Phil $cully just seemed to work).

*Assuming she doesn't try to follow him to the Pies.

Since the thread has been bumped I'll provide an update for the many of you who are no doubt waiting with bated breath to hear how the 8yo fan of J.Howe dealt with the news.

Firstly...I put off telling her for so long that when her cousins came to visit over the New Year they were the ones that broke the story (they also taught her the word 'traitor').

After a brief sad face she decided that Nathan Jones was now her favourite and she was going to rip Howe's autograph out of her book. I managed to talk her out of that, it's a nice book. I also tried to explain the big business of footy and that traitor is probably a bit strong, but I'm not sure the message got through.

Hell hath no fury...

Ed: spelling

I see the filth are still going with the Frisbee spin !!

[Sir Why You Little 36,955]

This is all to the club that Jeremy "Always wanted to play for"

yet he has lied to them before his first game at any level

Who the hell has ever broken a finger throwing a frisbee?

i mean really....

In view of the fact that he dropped the catch playing cricket, he might have already lost that skill as well.
