Hows about Howes?

Again no idea about his running capacity, good size for a wing.  I like Bowey as I reckon when he is up and about his ball use is the best in our side.  If I'm JVR seeing Bowey with the ball kicking into forward 50 I would be pretty happy.  At some stage we need to get our better ball users delivering the ball forward.

    Time for the Dlanders who ran over a black cat to fess up.

    Agree Demonstone I like Howes as well he looks a natural winger who can play back, possibly forward as well.

    You want to swap in an ageing British bulldog for a greyhound.  Good luck with that.

    Haven't watched Casey vs Giants yet but prior to that i've seen nothing that would suggest Hunter's performing at a decent VFL level or higher that would warrant a call up.

    I agree with you 100%

    What a disappointing end for Caleb Windsor he has been a bit of a bright shiney light for us all year and timing was terrible. Hope you have a quick and complete recovery Caleb.!!

    Complete trumps quick, unless by some miracle we get to finals without him.

    Howes started off playing wing at Casey before getting pushed to a HB role with others like Woey getting more wing time ahead of him.

    Im not sure he has the wheels or the tank for AFL level here just yet though.

    Is Brown dog another option here at all?  Has some zip and loves to tackle.

    I'd be astonished if Hunter isn't the in this week. 

     

    Not saying it's what I would do, but im very sure it's what goody will do

    Bowey has no aerial ability and he doesn't take the game on very often imo Dr.  A winger needs to roll out and get on his bike pretty quickly without too much hesitation imv.  Bowey tends to over think things a little and by the time he decides, the oppo's got most outlets covered.

    Bowey's pretty good when given the ball but also easily pushed off the ball in one v ones at ground level this season for mine.

    Not the same since his shoulder issue

    Look to reset over the summer break?

    Controversial but I'd like to see what Bowey could do as a small forward going into next year. Alongside koz. 

    Join the queue behind Chandler and Kolt, and maybe Spargo if he recovers fully.

    I believe banner making was tonight. One way to find out if Hunter made the team is to ask our resident banner maker, possibly being his 200th.

    (I have a regret that we left Steven Icke stranded on 198 games).

    I had forgotten that.

    Icke is one of my all time favourite dees, which is pretty remarkable given he played most of his career at another club.

    A brilliant defender who almost always battled bigger forwards.

    Consistent and gave his all as a Dee every single week (compare and contrast with, say, Brent Crosswell).

    Really?

    I feel like it's something he wouldn't do - that's to say allow emotion to influence selection.

    I mean he left jordon on the bench in the GF because we didn't have an injury when not a single person would have begrudged him giving him a run.

    My thought/logic is nothing to do with the milestone, all to do with who else on the list plays and trains the pure wing role

    Gotcha.

    I guess I was thinking a call up on form would be unlikely because he's been poor at Casey.

    Players carrying injuries in the 22 season, injuries before finals in the 23 season, players injured all this season, about time we caught a break, we haven't had much luck for 3 years.

    Jeez with all those flaws how did he hold his spot down back for so long.  The last one about being pushed off the ball 1 v 1 is why I think he needs to be tried in a running position where getting the footy is all about running to the right spots.

    Again no idea if he has the tank to play on a wing, but if he can run it out why not free him up from that backline role and have a run on the wing.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
