Seems like he made a great business decision

Well everyone knew he was dumb as a box of hammers. He almost appears to have made the decision over a beer in Bali with Bucks, because he was infatuated with the guy as a Pies fan. And he won't even be the coach next year.

Not to mention he hated Roos playing him in defence and sulked all year about it, and now finds himself in the same position at Collingwood because he's utterly useless as a forward (which our coaches worked out years ago).

And the funniest part is that he just has to suck it up and take it. Crap coach, crap culture, crap president, crappier money than we offered and less wins, too.

I reckon that once his manager started playing games and kept shopping him around looking for more money we took our offer off the table! 

And, then sent him on his way to GCS as part of the pick upgrade package. 

He had little option until the Pies gave him a lifeline (to stay in Victoria).

He's a natural defender and has arguably been a better recruit than Adam 'burn the ball' Treloar.

 

He'd suit the zone defence we are trying to implement as he reads the ball so well in the air.

Well said. I'd kill for a key defender that actually plays with some assurity.

I heard that interview as well. Strange he would walk out. 

He would be a handy defender this year. But obviously cannot be trusted as he burnt his team mates

Wonder if he has regrets?

Had a really strong relationship with Bucks and i'd heard he wanted to play as a forward and Roosy had basically locked him in as a defender if he stayed.

The irony being he's gone to a team behind us and is playing in defense after a short failed stint as a forward.

Yes hence my question about regret. 

He would be very useful in this zone defence considering Lynden Dunn has spat the dummy

Would be shocked if he didn't feel a fair bit of regret walking off after being belted by the Dees

Melbourne made him an offer he could refuse.

It's not our fault that the Pies overrated him.

He wouldn't be doing anything differently in our back half either.  He'll have the odd good game, some decent ones and others where he goes missing.

Heard the interview and was amazed that Mark Robinson was utterly clueless that Howe had played defence at Melbourne.  Howe told him he'd played about 30 games there. 

What do these journalists watch ?

Howe would be useful in defense this year. Great as a floating wingman-type defender. We have managed without him but we might have been better defensively with him there.

He obviously fell for the pre-season hype about Collingwood being top-4 quality.

If MFC brains  trust had thought  Jeremy of any real value they would have tried to keep him...

He was ushered out the door and into a cab with a voucher for down the road.

With good reason

Robbo is not Robbo Crusoe. There have been several commentators this year who have congratulated the Collingwood brainstrust on playing Howe in defence.

Howe seems great... for 6 games. Then he switches off. Has never played a full consistent season and I doubt he ever will

Posted

He's always going to be lauded as some kind of superstar after 1 or 2 good games, purely because he plays for Collingwood. It's the way of the media.

Just imagine if the thoroughly mediocre and awkward Mason Cox played for us -- it wouldn't even be a story. I mean, an American playing in the AFL?! How extraordinary and unheard of! Oh, except that other guy who plays for St Kilda and debuted last year... but that's St Kilda! Nobody cares!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    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.
