Hasn’t exactly been banging the door down, but I hope he goes well. 

He needs to add another 10kg of muscle to his frame, before he starts impacting games the way we want him to.

I wouldn't have thought so, he's a flanker

    He can’t weigh much more than 80kg. He needs to be 92kg+ imo to have confidence in his body. He could become a very effective utility, rather than just a flanker.

    Unfortunately the club can’t list their weight anymore so we may never know who is building body mass and who is trimming down. The AFL are going just a tad too far in some directions but not protecting the most important aspect the head. Quite weird if you ask me.!!

    Not all players have to be stereotyped . Caleb wasn’t strong enough to make debut this season and look?? Marvellous h ow 2 great goals fixed all that.  Yes Howes could build up but give him a go at least and back in the selectors. We need the skills of Duke Jibba and Howes as we have lots of other bulls out there. These guys fit skills can turn our disposal aroun. Kolt Fullarton and McAdams are waiting in the wings !!

    Baptism of fire! Guess we will learn what he's about early.

    Heeney can do unbelievable stuff, but can be inconsistent.

    Check out his interview on the Club website. The sleeveless singlet does him no favours!

    However, he has been this year's pre-eminent trainer, apparently. I hope, then, that he continues this journey in the way MBJMcV has before him!

    (p.s. 3 years in the system, but I wouldn't have picked him in a line-up...)

    I certainly hope not - but then again I wouldn’t want him on Papley either 

    If Wicks plays forward that would be my match up

    I've been called a dead set flanker even though I'm not a footballer.

    I'm a bit hard of hearing, but I'm pretty sure that's what the other person was saying.

    Hopefully Howes can adapt to the pace and intensity of AFL reasonably quickly. He has the skill and athleticism but he will need to be more desperate than he has shown in the VFL.

    Organised by Don McLardy.  A really nice vibe with a fully stocked bar and plenty of food.  Some old faces were there including Balls Grinter and Jimmy Magner.  DM me if you want the information

    Tony.  I am sure he has displayed desperation to the level required by the coaching team - would he be selected otherwise?

    We will see mono. The gap between AFL and VFL is huge.

    Nuh. Too many assumptions there.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
