MASTER STROKE.

In fairness they do have a lot of those small quick types: Fasolo, Blair, Elliott, Oxley

That'd be the 193cm Oxley?

Didn't that happen in 2004 or something? That's a very long time ago now.

He played his 250th for the Crows on the weekend, 289th all up.. fair old record.

Dunno what time in the match it was but i remember seeing him drop a mark, get outrun by 1 of us and just stop and i yelled out who needs Howe?  I then heard a under the breath comment from the toothless filth supporter behind me suggesting that i go and get a sexual encounter.

I was really hoping he would have a game like this against us, was just not sure the footy gods were going to come to the party.

 

 

I had a Collingwood fan ask me "What do ya think of Howe?", I smiled and replied "He's soft." the Pie fan sighed and said "yeah, I've heard that too." 

I laughed quietly to myself.

It was fitting that his first game against us was similar to the majority of games he played for us.....

He will have the odd game where he has 20 touches and kicks 3 goals but these are too few and far between. Getting a guy like Kennedy who gives his all every game is so much more valuable than the odd highlight from Howe!

Puzzling recruitment by Collingwood.  IMO they don't need his type of medium marking forward when they've already got Elliot and Fasolo, and Swan was going to play forward as well.

Yeah I know.....they needed a Kennedy..

Ouch.

In "MELBOURNE" town, Kennedy always was known as the KING !  The status is now renewed.

You've got to wonder about their judgement over there.  Kennedy so far has looked fantastic, but was underutilized over there and sold cheaply.  

 

 

 I don't like the practice of knocking ex players, except in the case of one bloke at GWS.

So you'd rather knock the 20 year old who gave his all and left when offered an unprecedented multi-million dollar contract, over a player who put in half hearted efforts and left to fulfill a dream of playing for his beloved Pies under the coach whose signature he had stashed in his wallet.

I'd rather knock the latter, personally.

Think I'm capable of knocking them both.

Kennedy has a lot of Viney about him

hmmmm...the same one that missed half a season with a suspect knee injury. The same one that could have left saying "the offer was too good...thanks to Melb for supporting me" but instead left leaving a real stain on us as he did. The same one that was a number 1 draft pick and had the hopes of us all to be the leader we were craving and left us in the way he did. Yes Id rather knock him. Howe left for many reasons but, whether we liked his style or not, he gave plenty of what he offers to us. Clearly we're better off with Kennedy. I have no hate toward howe...but plenty toward scummy. 

Every team needs a cheeky pest. Looks like Kennedy is ours. Mind you I think Petracca might qualify as well.

I'm now even more convinced on Howe being more worthy of my scorn.

You think Gra Gra would work as a nickname?

Fair call

i don't hate Jeremy Howe. I just never rated him as a footballer. His marking skills are sublime

but his foot skills are non existent

i can now enjoy watching the last of his career with joy rather than stress and frustration...

I am sure that Howe will have some good games for the Pies over the next few years.  Irrespective I thought he was quite disrespectful to us with his carry on about his boyhood dreams about Collingwood and little mention of his time at the Dees.   Anyway Howe all I have to say is enjoy your photo of Nathan Buckley in your wallet, you lazy easily self satisfied [censored].

Yeah enjoy and look at Nathan's photo and still tell me if you love him as much when he drops you this week hee he

Yeah I don't hate Howe for leaving. I get why he did it. My biggest fear yesterday was he was going to take a massive hanger. But he had a shocker as did many of his mates. I bet he never would have thought when he crossed to the pies he'd find himself at a club that was near the bottom and questions being asked about the coach. He would have thought he'd got away from that. 

It's simple.

Kennedy is a competitor.

Howe isn't.

That should tell us all we need to know.

Um, yeah, but... uh... he takes flashy marks.

...then turns it over.

Looks like Jeremy's transition to the Collingwood team is now complete.
