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.

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.

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

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.

He never was the sharpest tool in the shed. What a way to endear yourself to new teammates.

So can we say that Howe moving from Melbourne to Collingwood increased the average IQ of both teams?

His marking was good down back in a few games this year, he did kick a few great goals, should have had the dealer agains the Saints.

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.

He won't be missed. Filth will already wondering I can imagine.

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.

I call him a showpony because screamers was the only thing he did well. Being a link....fail.. Kicking to advantage....fail.

Turnover ball AAA+++

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

We'll agree

..as you suggest.

I've never heard of pads or a box for the feet.

Imagine a full paced yorker to the bung foot....... 

Surely that would come to ones mind before donning the whites...

howe dumb to think he could lie to the club about it. And howe dumb of the club to suggest they believe the frisby was the cause of his injury and not that soft cricket ball.

 

new clause will be inserted into his... contract no playing Frisbee with a dog.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
