I loved Jeremy Howe when he was with us but he has really not conducted himself well towards the club that gave him his chance.

I hope he does regret leaving one day

 
 

When was the last hanger he took in a Melbourne jumper?

It was the last time I took any notice of his contribution to the Demons. 
 

He is the epitome of a selfish player. 


Anything he can do in the forward line*, Fritsch can do better.

Anything he can do in the back line*, Lever can do better.

*Except of course take a speccy. I'll give him that.

Not even if he begged.
Took my kids down to watch training back when he was playing for us.
Most of the players couldn't have been better with them.
Howe however couldn't be bothered giving them the time of day.
Far too full of himself for that.
Even back then.

3 things I learnt that day that stuck with me.
Colin Sylvia and Jack Watts were brilliant with the kids.
Howe is a [censored].

Wouldn't take him back but only on a cost v needs basis. Still a good footballer but at 30 odd is surplus to our requirements.

It seems forgotten that the year before he left we tried to shop him to GWS for a draft pick. Top ten I think we were aiming at. He didn't want to go there.

Not having a crack at OP but why would we want him back? His position in the team would be in an area we are currently quite well served. He’d be surplus for our needs. 

I don’t really have anything against him, I was disappointed we didn’t try harder to keep him but it really did annoy me when he openly said one of the reasons he was happy to be going to Collingwood was to play as a forward. Did nothing as a forward for the Pies, got moved to defence and suddenly commentators were hailing the move as genius. ?


I would take him back. Great player, still has a couple of years left to run and I think it's reasonable to think that if we end up in the situation with Lever and May out at the same time we would be struggling with Tomlinson. Tomlinson is doing well right now but I'd argue so would Oscar McDonald or Sam Frost with the way the team is playing. Knowing we had Howe down there would give me more comfort. He would be good for depth and would increase the competitiveness for players to get a spot, and keep it. Very nice problem to have

Really don't care about the past, he was younger, more arrogant and could see way more upside with the Pies. Thought his comments for Jones' 300th were very nice and says a lot about him as a person.

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?

Leave him to the beer-snakes!

Haha NFW. We have the best defence in the comp without him and with 3 potential A.A selections in it.

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

No

Yes, Healey's departure was a classic example, despite his unquestionable ability and efforts with the MFC. 

He can stay with the team he really loves


It was always my opinion that we were happy to trade him because he was one of the few we had with trade currency at the time and he probably wasn't the greatest for rebuilding our culture. So I saw him as sort of pushed to go and we didn't try very hard to keep him. The issue came though when he chose Collingwood and they chased him, instead of Gold Coast (iirc). So the deal and currency for him lessened but we were stuck. 

And no, I wouldn't want him back. 

I was about to go into ‘systems’ and ‘people that are not able to follow those systems’ but I won’t waste my time.

No we shouldn’t get Howe. 

And if you think we should, you should feel bad and remorse. So head down for the rest of the day...

No.

 

In a medium sized defender I think Rivers is the archetype - fast good disposal courageous and selfless.

Howe's main game is the hanger on a hapless fwd who got a rubbish delivery.

 No thanks to Howe.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere
