Did anybody else hear the commentary on MMM yesterday after the Collingwood game?

Apparently, sending Jeremy Howe down back was a 'masterstroke by Buckley'. Mark Howard then said 'looks like they might have found a new position for him'.

Idiots.

At least it shows how much attention the footy world has paid to us recently. He's been playing down back for years, ever since we worked out he was a muppet as a forward!

    Lol.

    He dealt with little to no pressure all day back there and Geelong's ball use going forward was awful for the majority of the day so he was constantly picking up free ball.

    Wait until they come up against the Dogs next week and let's see how he handles it.

    The guy crumbles under pressure.

    Apparently his disposal coming out of the backline is made with pinpoint precision.

    Wonder how long it will be before they realise that only happens in 1 out of every 10 games, and the rest his disposal is below average for accuracy.

    Seeing him thread goals from the boundary last year made me laugh, as I knew it was pushing his value up despite being a rarety.

    Honestly though, the Pies are seeing exactly what we saw at the MFC.  He'll go through a really lean stretch as a forward, go back to defence, look really strong and settled in the back line, go through a really lean patch, get moved forward, look strong and settled for a while, cycle restarts.  I reckon Buckley hopelessly misjudged him, thinking he was a much better player than he is.  Laughing all the way to the bank with Kennedy IMO.

    Hope he plays back there against us and he's made to play on Dean Kent.

    I still can't believe they traded or Aish.

    To be fair I watched the game yesterday and Howe was outstanding.

    Given we secured Kennedy in that trade and a pick which helped us move up the draft to get Oliver, I have no complaints about Jeremy's infatuation with the Pies. If he genuinely went there so he could play in the forward line, then LOL.

    Geelong were outstandingly hopeless yesterday, they must have backed themselves.Second to the contest non existent tackling and no favours from umps which i hardly noticed.

    Much small mindedness and unnecessary comments about an ex/player. It is a professional game and players will make decisions that they think are in their best interests. Players come and go. That is the game. 

  • Quote

    Ernie much of the ribbing is towards Collingwood.  That always seems fair

  • Quote

    Didn't Jeremy Howe say when he was traded that he was given a specific role playing up forward & that is why he left & he was whinging about playing in the backline

  • Quote

    He will have his good weeks, just like he did with us. But his pies career is just a continuation of his frustrating front running and inconsistency with us.

    Certainly not the intention of the OP. Scorn clearly aimed at MMM.

    Hey ..I do think for all the bullshlt Howe uttered he's back...as a back that that's  hilarious.

    It's just echoed  by the MMMankers !

  • Quote

    Wasn't playing back the reason he wanted to explore his options in the first place?

  • Quote

    Yep. Always played better down back. Seemed to get upset that it meant occasionally having to spoil, man up, punch from behind and tackle - and all too commonly watch the ball sail over his head. But it was by far his best position. Took Buckley only a few games to work out exactly that.

    I'd have preferred to keep him over Melksham as a half back, and I think if he got his head around the fact he's best suited as a back he could find consistency and be very good down there.

    But hey, the cocahes can only suggest it so much, and if a player spits the dummy for a trade then so be it.

    seriously brainless twits on MMM, any station that has Billy Brainless as a employee has got to be run by tools

    Fulfilling his childhood dream of playing in the NFL for his native Fiji in the Olympics as a permanent forward for the Pies.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
