Howe was given every chance when at MFC. He was and still is  a selfish player who would rather play where he wants to rather than be a fully fledged input at a Club....  I have no time for him or his sadistic comments. 

And so was Dunn in his 1st half of his career.  He wanted to only play forward.   He thought he was too good for defence,  and was insulted with that role.  But he was a head ducker.

When he settled into defence, he was a better player.

As was Howe, but still soso.

 

Now ask him about players who take screamers then kick it straight to the opposition.

Jeremy Howe when leaving Melbourne to go to Collingwood. " Nathan has a defined role for me in the Collingwood forward line.


Ha Ha

I found it quite amusing to be honest & let's face it, good bloke or not....he's right. We shouldn't have got rid of him in the first place & as TGR said, he's an AA when in good form.

One of the best aeralists the games ever seen, reads the play exceptionally well & a very good kick. Collingwood have shown more faith in him than we did......

He wanted to leave.

Plenty of players want to leave clubs......Papley, Daniher more recently.

Their clubs chose to not allow them to leave. Obviously MFC didnt rate Howe & that's ok I guess but he has had the last laugh.

Daniher was still under contract at Essendon, Papley is still with the Swans


Water off a ducks back. Until we play them what he says or does is irrelevant.

Bit of a joke actually. But i hope the comment is put up in the players rooms as a little reminder 

Winning is always the key to these digs

When at Melbourne it was always "always about Jeremy" It was just that he happened to be the one who could skip around and get easy marks/ kicks. All of a sudden he didn't like it when he was asked to present....back at the pies he is not asked to put in just yet but he will be. Probably the easiest of easy "skirting around" players we have had. The reason why i know, because i was asked to present too, and i couldn't.....i remember though.......

Howe is a decent player. But as a lifelong Pie Supporter he always wanted to end up next door

A shame we didn’t get more for him

I sure hope we beat The Filth in September. His mates will remind him for a long time

What, other than watching him weekly,  with high hopes for him.

One of his first games was against the Cats,  as I recall,  in a night game.  Maybe a Friday night game?

He was played at CHF, didn't like close attention when going for his overhead marks.   Nothing much changed for sometime,  and the club searched for his rightful position.  Eventually as a defender.   He didn't like that at first.

Isn't the point of being AA that you do it for more than a few weeks? Howe hasn't done that, or else he would have been an AA by now.

Howe is a amazing intercept mark. That's all. Not enough to be AA

So you have based that on what you see on tv.. right..

So in your initial comment you said "he wanted to play forward, he thought he was too good for defence" so he never directly said that to you did he, or any quotes that he stated . Again, how do you he didn't like that at first? 

You're just making yourself look silly here by making stuff up.

Based it on watching him live in his early career;  seeing him duck his head and drop marks.  For the first few years, unit l got sick of him trying to make it. 

The debate was on for some time, Re where he should play,  back or forward.   This is why he became a defender.   It's the position he could handle.

Meantime the club was wasting time going in circles.

Wow.. ok.

So next time I see Lever or Gawn drop marks or duck their heads i will know for a fact they absolutely hate playing in their currents positions. Got it.

Yeah he does, but according to @MyFavouriteMartian Dunn was traded by Roos because he was part of this week culture that we had lingering. If that was the case, then why didn't Roos do the same for Watts? Only took Goodwin 1 year to realise Watts should have been traded years before that. Roos got rid of Dunn to make way for none other then Oscar McDonald. That was a poor decision.

No respect for him either on these cyber boards.  I recall many here thinking he was absolutely dispensable.  Jeremy Howe is a bone-fide All Australian key back.  They don't grow on trees.

 

We give it, but can't take it at all.  Quick to highlight a negative prediction from a journo, but won't apologise when the journo is inevitably correct.

 

 

 

I wonder if Demonland will give Jeremy a warning point for inciting negativity and rage.

Com on mods we got kick this non demon support off demonland, use ever post to put sh@t real demons

Edited by don't make me angry

Why worry what an opponent says. He takes a good grab that’s about it, not sure he helped us win any matches directly. 
unlike say JW who kicked that goal against the pies, encouraged by jones , a really great goal. 
JH never really invested in the MFC,

I expect to have a much better year Go Dees 2020

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
