A hypothetical.... Let's just say we continue along the path we are currently on and win the flag or come bloody close. Collingwood decide to trade out players with currency wherever they can for their rebuild. Collingwood are open to trading out Howe. Would you take him back?

 

I absolutely wouldn’t, the bloke has done nothing but have cracks at the club since he left.  He deserves to finish out his career in the bottom 4 (hopefully with no crowds watching).

 

Not the way he left, the way he has conducted himself since he left nor on injuries either. 

Yep


Good question. No.

Our current glue is a selfless team ethos. That is not Howe's style. Let him stay at Collingwood to languish at the bottom if the ladder, where he can take his hangers before turning it over to the opposition and I don't have to care about it.

On one hand you could argue it is hard to blame him - he escaped the club when it really wasn’t a great place to be. 
 

On the other hand you could argue he is a Judas. I’m with this hand.

No

left for his reasons, like Gerard Healey left when he was needed, 

No

No DH policy at Melbourne for a while now. He just cost his club $20k for getting De goey to grab his phone for him. So a NO for me. 

?

We now are developing into to selfless team.  
Where would you play him anyway?

It has always upset me that Howe is playing for Collingwood. It has also always upset me that Collingwood is praised for turning Howe into a backman. I'm glad he missed a flag in 2018. He should still be at Melbourne, but would he fit into our system?

A no from me.....

He would struggle to get a game anyway....


 

He was a reason to go to the footy when we weren’t winning to see another mark of the year contender. 
He also said some nice words ahead of Chunk’s 300th last week, so I’m not sure he’s a complete dh.
But now we’re winning. He won’t make us a better team, nor does he have the pressure attributes IMO. Absolutely a no from me.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
