Yep, he had the last laugh alright. Winning all those premiersh.....oh.

Well at least he has been All Australi.....hm.

....how has he had the last laugh again?  
 

His wiki page lists his career highlights as:

• Melbourne leading goalkicker: 2013
• Mark of the Year: 2012
• 22under22 team: 2012
• Harold Ball Memorial Trophy: 2011

So basically all his career highlights came while he was at Melbourne. .

I guess his option was to stay at Melbourne & struggle to get a regular game or go to another club where he has become probably the first picked in the backline along with Maynard. He seems to be rated very highly by Buckley. His career was seemingly at the crossroads in 2016 & has gone on to play 83 games in 4 seasons including 6 finals. 

My last laugh comment was reflective of Collingwoods success as a team over the last few years compared to us & not specifically related to Howe's individual awards.

For what its worth the Dees have only won 34% of their games in the last decade whereas Collingwood (as much as I hate them) have won 62%.

I see that this is a good more for Howe.

That is ok with the comments you came out with Jeremy.  The thing is that  the Melbourne boys are competitive as all the clubs are. they do not forget certain comment at the club. 

The  problem is that they won't forget it and will use it for motivation.  It will be just what we need.  It could cost  the wobbles a spot in the eight in the end of things.  I wouldn't be too disappointed  if you injured yourself somehow. 

You played 100 games for us and became an automatic MCC member for the achievement. You don't get that from a feral football club as the one you are playing for.  

After his comment to disrespectfully can the Club who gave him his start and learnings in big-league football, I bet the Mighty Dees' players are queueing up to man him up, next time we play The Filth.

I’m being a bit facetious obviously (mainly cause I think Howe is a dropkick), but by the two key measures of success in this game, both as a team and as an individual, he’s come up empty handed.

I think “last laugh” is going a bit far, but I take your point that his career has elevated since being at Collingwood.

Jeremy Howe made an off the cuff comment - which, given the circumstances, I thought was a pretty funny one-liner.

To now suggest that the Melbourne players will want to extract some sort of revenge for this comment is just absurd. While the players will already have an opinion of Howe following his departure a few years back, I bet if you now asked the players about this comment, they would probably just laugh.

To suggest that Howe is a "germ" and a host of other insults is, in my opinion, just disgraceful. His character assassination in this thread by people who most likely have never even met him is something we should be ashamed of. 

The guy possess the one single trait that excites all fans - no matter what team they follow - and he does this week after week - he is a once in a generation player for that skill alone.

So the guy wanted to leave the MFC - get over it - I'm sure his ex-teammates have.

Agree with @Neil Crompton, some posters are taking an off-the-cuff comment way too seriously.

I hate all the talk of being a 'snowflake' as it is applied these days as it sometimes gets unfairly thrown at people who DO feel mental hurt in certain situations that others may not understand.
In this case though, the tag is apt. If this is enough to knock off your equilibrium, you need to get out more.
