FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE

[Jaded No More 68,915]

For someone supposedly chasing big money, he isn't doing much chasing

[Adam The God 30,259]

It's also surprising that so many in the media and beyond have failed to notice how ordinary he is.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,833]

The way Howe's playing at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the first ever player to announce a change of clubs mid season. Does not give a snot about the MFC at the moment.

Farr out Adam, keep your trap shut. You never know who may be trolling on these boards. We should be pumping his tyres up to maximise his value!!!

[titan_uranus 25,020]

I thought last week may have been a change of mindset for Howe. It might not have been the best 0-disposal half, but his workrate off the ball was where it needed to be.

Of course, I was wrong, and that was not the standard Howe wants to set himself.

His apathy and unwillingness to put in the required effort embarrasses me.

[dazzledavey36 54,944]

OX gave him a mighty serve at half time and I loved it.

[Fork 'em 6,983]

Reakon Howes a gun that drags people through the turnstyles and don't think we should accept anything less than Treloar and GWS first pick.

That's the stuff Fork'em!!!

[SaberFang 7,151]

What a shame our last match didn't prove to be the "new dawn" of the club we all ignorantly hoped.

Howe is nothing more than a passenger. One good game every five is hardly worth carrying. If we got a pick in the top 10 for him we'd be getting away with murder. If his manager is actually chasing $700k then he is literally on another planet. Howe isn't worth half that.

Trade him off to the highest bidder. Hes a liability, but someone will pay overs for his screamers.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

I hope the club is selling his worth like a good used car salesman would.

In the second quarter the ball came in to him at our 50 - he dropped the mark, went to ground and then his opponent waltzed off with the ball under no pressure.

He is [censored] useless, don't think we'll get another deal as good as last year's offer from GWS.

Sounds like Russell Robertson mark ii but not as good.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Howe turned a corner in the Geelong game...Roos said it was his best game since he joined.

What he left unsaid it was Howe's most unselfish, team oriented game ever!

Hence the high praise in is press conf for Howe's no touches in the first half.

Seems like Howe was told: don't even try to mark, let alone take a speccie!

Howe (finally) listened, sacrificed 'his own game' and brought the ball to ground!

Howe may look lazy but it may well be he plays to have fun doing his own thing. ie rather selfish

If he and the rest of the team play unselfish football and we win a few more Howe might want to stay.

Altho if Sir Paul Roos is right the orange people to our north may get to finals faster than us and he may go.

Either way, if Howe continues to help us win games rather than play his own game, I will wish him well.

I was wrong...

...Howe didn't turn a corner...he kept going straight ahead...straight ahead to a new team

He went back to selfish, lazy play last night.

He wasn't alone, I know.

But, ship him out! Don't care if he goes.

He should go to GWS where they will tell him to put on a show for they're supporter

We want him to play a role which he can't do because his a one trick pony.

[DeeZee 7,396]

Howe is an offensive forward and Will never be anything else.

Can only be played at half forward or forward pocket.

Doesn't chase or run enough to be a defensive forward or to play in defence.

[JV7 2,351]

We've seen some players play out years and go through the motions the last 3-4 years such as sylvia, moloney, frawley, scully.. You could tell they were leaving. Howe's insipid efforts are a new level, if only we snapped up GWS' pick 7 last trade period.. Drop him and don't bring him back, his a disgrace to the jumper. Bring in Harmes and give a kid who'll have a fair dinkum crack and prove himself to be worthy of a spot on the senior list that Jeremy Howe is taking for granted right now

[Willmoy1947 4,089]

Yes the difference between Howe and Neal-Bullen was striking yesterday, in all departments and if I was a senior player I would have been quite

embarrassed especially toward the end of the game.

Howe's game yesterday seemed to be in the pursuit of non injury.

So sad to never see the shepherd any more.

Have to say that you may be right JV7. He's making Watts look overly intense at the minute.

[leucopogon 1,519]

This guy is Sylvia mark II, but without Sylvia's runs on the board. I seriously don't think any club will take him, why would you. A flanker that would probably only be starting 22 at one club (us). If he does get a trade, it'll go exactly like Sylvia.

[Akum 2,660]

The worst part is we have to keep playing him in the firsts. If he's played where he deserves to play, we wouldn't get a third round for him.

The scenario that he has been taken already is on many peoples minds.

Have been a Howe supporter for potential he had and for comparison with Lynch.

BUT

Still needs to produce for us or delist him

I dont think we should play him in the senior side if he is not producing and I would play him forward and make him produce his best for us and/or a future salary. If he aint up to it he aint up to it
