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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
