Training as a forward or midfield?

Mids


Congratulations Blake Howes and MFC, love to see him debut in 2023.!!

Given he was in the squad of 25 as early as round 4 (V Port) this year, before he got injured, I reckon he's a very good chance of playing senior games this year.

 

Genuine Round 1 chance. Huge wraps on on him and Goody is a very very big fan. Keen to watch his development.

It's hard to tell from the drills and in particular the match sim which today wasn't a full length match sim (more like 3/4) this means that there weren't all the traditional positions on the ground like flankers and pockets.

In addition any time that there is a forward/defender match up it's a key position match up. 

If I had to guess he's probably too skinny for a midfield roll, certainly not an inside mid role. He might be more suited to a wing. I've liked what I've seen of him on limited occasions.

He us well respected for ability but it would be good to bulk-up some more - otherwise, heavy contact will be an ongoing issue and on-ground rigors may cruel his game. Anyway, congratulations Blake ... gobble up the road ahead.

Being a bag of bones didn’t worry Alan Johnson or Robbie Flower!

Has a touch of class about him, will be a very good player for us

 


Howes really moves well and has good AFL attributes (length and dexterity). He obviously needs a bit of muscle (which will come) and he also needs to be a bit more desperate in the contest. There was a bit of Jack Watts about his game when he returned from injury late last year.

Not that it necessarily means much for 2023, but in all the games I saw him play for Casey, he was mostly on the wing.


I suggest if his form is good at minimum he will make a quality 23rd man being his height and speed gives him great flexibility if required for injury or to come on fresh to inject some energy and pace.

Yes but can Blake do something when and how he gets the ball ? 

I think he is a top prospect and despite his physical development he may need another pre season to really stand up to AFL style pressure. 

Whether he debuts as 23 Rd man which now has no special relevance  to injury it will be well longed for as his ability and versatility  ( other than his pace and energy as a bonus) are universally recognised.

A contract extension now makes perfect sense and he and JVR are setting the pace for our 2021 draft recruits and are well deserved extensions at this stage

Who will of the 2021 drafters or young prospects will be next to extend their term?

Taj, AMW, or Judd or maybe Deakyn?

  • 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

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
