Would you take Jeremy Howe back?

Northern Summer
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

No, and for a few different reasons. His position is not a need. He wouldn't come dirt cheap in terms of salary. Injuries are really affecting the back end of his career.

    Nah. He was a jerk when he left. If it wasn’t for us choosing him as a speculative pick he’d still be taking hangers somewhere in Tassie.

    what a [censored] you are. Give the guy some credit for becoming one of the best defenders in the game.

    Meanwhile we're loving steven May even though he left gold coast because they were bad and literally the same reason Howe left. 

    Peoples blinded loyalty affects their logic. So how is May's decision any different.

    Quality player. i'd definitely have a good look at it if he was keen. 

    there is no doubt in my mind he'd improve our team.

    I'd take him back. He is one of the best defenders in the game. Just because May and Lever are ahead of him on current form doesn't mean that he isn't a great player.  All of this talk saying that he is past his prime etc. is way too harsh considering his injuries. Maybe he isn't the greatest bloke off the field, but to me he interviews well and doesn't seem like a tool. Using the phone incident as an example is barely a hanging offence. I think people are just too proud to admit that they would have him back. 

     

    I think he is a very good player, but he would struggle to get a game in our team, so why spend money on aging surplus?

    He basically plays the exact same role as Lever, except Lever is 6 years his junior and a far superior on field leader. 

    There are far better options out there if we are looking to add players to our list at the end of the season.

    Whatever one thinks of him and the circumstances of his departure, where would he fit in to our lineup and game plan?

    Certainly not current beat 22.

    Nup, [censored] him.

    He walked out. He’s constantly injured. We’ve got his position well covered now.

    We’re winning this year off the back of good culture, our team hasn’t really changed. Why mess with positive culture by bringing him back?

    If he improves the team, for sure i would. But he is getting injured a little too often now

    Half Back is a Speed and precision position now. 
    He may have to watch our success from the Grandstand

    I don't hate or even dislike Howe.  I have no emotion, as I'm not invested in him.

    That said, I couldn't care less what some supporters feel.  It's inconsequential to me.

    Why do you care what others think ?

    because as an intellectual person it bugs me when people don't use basic logic. 

    p.s. you're on a supporters forum so of course you care what some supporters feel.

    I'm interested in observations and information I may not know, but I couldn't care less about how they ''feel''.

    Haven’t heard May say a bad word about Gold Coast since he left. Same can’t be said for Howe. 
    Howe has carried himself like a [censored] since he left us.

    I wouldn't automatically rule out a player that will be 32 next year, but in Howe's case his body has been ravaged with injury.

     

    Wow, I didn't realise he was that old...

    He had a great injury free run there for a while but the last few years haven't been kind.

    Collingwood's list is looking worse than I thought with Sidebottom on the way out and Pendles nearer the end than the start and Howey struggling with injury also near the end.

    He's been Collingwooded. The only good players we ever got from them were Peter Moore, Henry Coles and RIP Flash Gordon.

    I would take anyone back except $cully but he's done. For free (or close to) as a backup yes, but not for any serious price.

    Screamers massively overrated considering most were turned over immediately or came when we were 82 points down.

    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...

    Exactly there's a reason we got rid of him. I still remember Roos having a crack at both Howe and Watts during the break of a night game vs Sydney. You could tell he was exasperated trying to get these guys to adhere to the structure and team rules.

    May returning home leaving a cultural wasteland to be close to family and friends, without bagging his old club.  Howe bagged the club that got him out of Dodges? Ferry. He left to play as a forward and then played as a defender. And did I mention he went to Collingwood!

    One wears a Red and Blue jumper the other wears a Black and White jumper. Pretty simple observation to me.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
