FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE

What
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

He is a restricted free agent as well, so I'll be interested to see if we match any offer made for him, or we have a certain amount we won't go over. It does mean that he may get more than his market value which will bump up the compensation we receive.

    Howe has only been with us for 5 years, he is not a free agent

    Not a RFA

    Without Mumford GWS will plummet - anyway pick 13 would be a good get.

    GWS will do a Gold Coast last year with Gary Ablett. Not as bad though.

    Sorry, this whole thing mucks me up all the time.

    Can we match an offer from another club for him or can he just up and leave and we have to take the compensation we are given?

    He needs to be traded, or a he walks and goes back into the draft.

    Aside from the obvious issue of sidelining all the kids who are unfortunate enough to be Dees fans, I'd like to see Howe go and for us to get something decent in return. I just don't see a spot in the side for him in a good structure, unless Roos will keep him at 3rd tall.

    At worst he would provide versatile depth, something we are sorely lacking, as can be seen by some of the players getting a game at the moment. It would need to be something very decent, and not a draft pick, for me to be happy to trade him.

    I don't understand the hate for Jeremy Howe on here

    2014

    1st for short kicks

    5th for kicks

    2nd for marks

    1st for contested marks

    2nd for rebound 50's

    He is now playing in the forward line which is a much harder position and kicked 4 goals in the past 2 weeks

    People get so carried away with draft/trade and what we can get for him that's it's not funny

    He is 24 years of age has played 89 games and kicked 75 goals

    I hope he re-signs and continues to get more consistent........I've just returned from Bali.....Demonland never changes, I might have to go back

    They get tired of the constant losing.

    Ignore that stats and watch his impact on games. As an indicator 22 players are ahead of him the Demonland Player of the Year votes. Then ask how much you would be willing to pay for him?

    He is inconsistent in his offensive and defensive intent and lacks football smarts and clean disposal. He always has been and does not appear to be better for the last 18 months development. He will not be the reason we play finals in the future but he is icing. I would not pay overs for a third tall highlight reel and would take a top 20 pick and run if available.

    Are you really serious?.......You really take notice of Demonland Player of the year votes????

    You would really take a pimply 18 year old for him????? Which would involve 2 to 3 years of development as we have seen with Stretch and ABN

    You have to pay the cap for your players

    So by your reasoning we should ignore all stats for all players and just watch for their impact on the game.....We wouldn't have a side.....Players have roles these days dictated by the coaches......He keeps getting a game so must be doing something right.

    Strongly agree on both fronts. Pick 13 for Howe I would be outstanding for Melbourne ....... like Christmas in October!

    Demonland's POTY is not a valid indicator of Howe. Laughable to suggest it is.

    Done! I hope anyway.

    5 marks....6 tackles

    1 goal 2 behinds

    6 score involvements

    Not bad for a high half forward.....Do you want me to compare with Garlett???(no bad press for him)

    Howe can actually play. You want us to give up a known quantity for 'just a player'.

    No thanks.

    Yarran at his best v Howe at his best.

    Yes please! And that's no disrespect to Howe.

    I reckon he's been gone since the ridiculous offer came last year.

    He looks a little lost to me or even down on confidence. He has spent an entire pre-season preparing to follow up and excellent 2014 in the backline, only to now find himself switched forward again.

    For someone who's always appeared to be a natural forward, he appears all at sea

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
