Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE


What

Recommended Posts

I remember Roosy saying in relation to Howes manager on 360 that 'it depends on what the manager is telling the player ' , saying that he wasnt feeding back what the club was saying truthfully

There's nothing stopping anyone from the club scheduling a meeting with Howe & his manager to get around that. Bit of B/S by Roos if what you are saying is true. Roos has played games through the media before so he is probably just doing the same in this instance.

It was because he never plays in front and always wants to mark from behind. It's one of the reasons he's been a hopelessly inconsistent forward.

Work ethic, concentration, discipline & execution are also other negatives in his game. He is undoubtedly talented, but talent isn't all that counts.

Howe's manager has behaved like an opportunistic tool, and the MFC have refused to get jerked around by him.

Heard this from the relevant people at the MFC.

Pleased the club is finally acting with some metal in relation to unreasonable player demands. Shows how far we've come as a club.

Disappointing for Howe in some respects that he, or his agent, has inflated views as to his worth.

It's just the dying remnants of our former cultures; where players expect the club and other players to do everything for them to help them attain success.

And get paid well over their market worth in the process.

Had a gutfull and will be pleased to see the back of Howe and his manager (who well and truly screwed over all parties as far as I'm concerned).

Might be a good idea to stop bagging player Agents, as they are needed to assist in various deals we may want to do.

For starters, nobody on here knows what his demands are, and they are only unreasonable if no other club is willing to pay it. That's how the market works.

As for how far the club has come, that's to be determined. Four year deal to Melksham and three years for Garland are excessive given their respective output in the past 2 seasons.

Unlike Watts, who is more value to us than to other teams, Howe is the opposite.

They see the high marking and neat skills and goals here and there and we can see through the mirage that is the rest of his game.

If we get someone who is best 18 from a Howe trade I am all for it because he would struggle to play next year IMO.

I cannot see Howe at Hawthorn.

He wants overs and they won't pay overs. They also already have a quality forward-line.

geez, I can. I reckon Howe's skillsets are something Clarko would be licking his lips over. Clarko would no doubt believe he could have a crack at getting Jeremy's head right within they're structure.

And Howe could be a great replacement for the aging Lewis

Im happy for Howe just to go. The return will be whatever it is.

Now this is not because of any befuddled hate or contempt for the bloke . It's simply based upon the notion that the club is building a team that plays as a team. Its undoing the shambles of a collective of 'talented' players that in all reality play with no cohesion. Howe is just such a player.He plays a bit of a solo agenda. Hes not alone...or wasn't.

For mine i can't see a place for him in an effective team. Good luck and thanks to whoever takes him.

not at present,,, but howe is one of the damaged players.

There is a good chance that can be rectified at a club like Hawthorn. He is competative, but lacks enough enthusiasm with us, because of how he started in our culture.

We've had this problem for nigh on 20 years +.

How can one be competitive if NOT enthusiastic.

In reality Howe is neither.

he a willing competitor but is lazy at our club.. 'our nickname should include lazy in its description'.

in other words he doesn't exert anywhere near his potential can.

In a powerful club loaded with great culture & motivation, enthusiasm to push way beyond, is infectious... its like restrictions are lifted off...

..... ours has been like sheep following one another. when lazy & soft leaders set a tone, then no one really dares to venture far from that.

Then hes not a competitor .Hes a cameo player

no, not a competitor is like watts last year.

Howey is a competitor, meaning he has it in him. But within our environment, he's never had to push himself beyond his comfort zones (lazy elite players) which would be higher that yours & mine. His ceiling is way higher than what his current output is.

Watts as well but he is yet to learn to battle physically as much as Howe's level.

........ we've had a conga line of players who have come thru our ranks since late 90's like this... no wonder why Moloney was so frustrated being of the old guard, so he tripped himself up by trying to push others... the whole thing was a schemozzle

Can't you see, how its all folded in on itself, because of a lack of REAL leaders, both OFF & ON field, within this club, over 20+ years.

Well, after reading the drivel from Ben Niall about how Jeremy has apparently been constrained by the MFC and its coaches from becoming 'elite', I would hope that Ben is telling the Suns that a straight swap for Prestia is overs and the Dee's should be better compensated.

Deeluded. Youve nearly arrived at mp point.

What one has in them as opposed to what one does.

Howe is not competitive. Hes lazy.likes doing what he likes but cant run two ways and is woeful at decisions.

Takes a nice mark :rolleyes:

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
