Blake Howes Re-Signs Until 2027

Good depth which has a good ceiling that can make him a regular 22 player.

Initially showed McVee’esque compusre which later disappeared after some inconsistency in performance. Hopefully more game time , learning of craft and fitness bodes well for him.

    A good signing

    I feel Blake still has a bit more development to go before he starts hitting his straps but you can see the talent there

    I’m not convinced playing back is his best position but hopefully he can become that hybrid third tall/flanker type that can intercept but still take the game on with a bit of run and dash

    Did Damian Barrett say it’s ok? 🙄

    Good signing. Club rates Howes highly. Has plenty of improvement in him

    Now need to get Judd signed. He remains OOC.

    Shown enough to warrant an extension

    Should spend some time in the gym to add some bulk. Gets pushed out of the road too easily

    Another good signing for MFC Blake has the talent, skills and the size to make it at AFL level and agree with BDA needs to build greater strength, the confidence will come with more game time.

    Staying with the Dees is a “No-Brainer.”

    Rate him highly. Was stiff to get dropped earlier on but I felt like his performance on the weekend was solid.

    Great for our future.

    A good re-signing. I’m not sure he is a backman. Would like to see him off a wing or forward.

    Got huge scope.

    they've clearly determined that he can play that small / forward combo roll down back, sort of like hibberd

    personally i don't see howes having the impact in the air or via his boot that i would like to see from this sort of player

    at vfl level he looks so composed and assured; yet to translate to afl level

    I instinctively like him, think he can develop into a solid versatile defender. Unlikely to be a superstar but neither are a great many players who build 200-game careers and are part of important moments.

    I think it does translate to AFL. Not every moment of every match but he does enough right to be very close to best 22.

    I think Blake has some solid AFL qualities. Not exclusively in the backline, but also as a winger or potential HF. I’m not sure where he will finally settle, but very confident that his time as a regular is not too far away. Good signing imo.

    He's still quite raw but he's a solid athlete, a good size and most importantly a willing competitor. His first few games were really impressive before his form tapered off but there's definitely something there.

    Apparently there were a few teams interested in him, so I'm glad we were able to lock him in for a few more seasons. The last thing we need is to see another fringe player thrive in different colours before we've really gotten a chance to see what they can do.

    A handy fringe player. His biggest issue is lack of confidence, still scared to move the footy on quickly.

    One must recall that Picket Fence is a professional revolutionary dedicated to the global overthrow of Goodwinist regimes, and all intermediate happiness is merely a barrier to the one true happiness of a Goodwinless nirvana.

    Fence posts are leaflets dropped from the sky by the Picketistani Liberation Front, demanding the immediate dismantling of all structures involving Goody and the words “system" and "learnings".

    Read twice. Burn after laughter.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
