[The Nostradamus]

Two weeks in a row he's been shunted into the 22 after a late out. Annoying

Very annoying and lucky for him, he’s a vfl level player at best

We had other better options both weeks also

Shouldn’t ever be named

I’d be panicking if I were a player and this bloke with no composure was walking out next to me knowing I’d have to cover for him

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He'll keep getting games until our young guys get their tanks.

He’ll be out this week with logue and McKay back

My only criticism of Howe is that I don’t see what he actually brings to the side, that warrants not getting more games into players like Goater etc.

He isn’t bringing anything to the table that any of our younger players couldn’t, do not sure why we are wasting games on him.

I was talking to a Hawks supporter who told me that Howe drove them crazy as well. However, Clarko kept playing him there there as well. He has no trouble finding the ball, I’ll give him that.

23 disposals, 53% DE and 7 Turnovers.

Such an uninspiring footballer.

Much prefer we pump games in Goater or Bergman than play this list clogging plodder.

I’ve never seen a player get smothered more. Is it his massively long wind up to kick that gives the opposition time to get hands near his boot? Bizarre.

Didn't disgrace himself and won't be dropped. He really shouldn't be in the team regardless though. Oh well

Has some bad moments, and then just kind of chugs along being average enough. I'd rather we were playing a kid ahead of him tbh. He does accumulate the ball well enough though I guess, so he's probably making good positions etc.

 

[Roscoe]

Sorry RB but LMAC has more kicks smothered than any other player in the comp. Do smothered kicks count as a disposal? Just asking.

 

[hotchilli]

Cops a fair bit of s**t but his impact as the sub yesterday was very good.

He was excellent. Calm and assured. He used the ball very well too. If we’d have gotten over the line, he would have been the catalyst. The quintessential substitute, maybe.

He’s just a list clogger that we shouldn’t be wasting game time on

Less deer in headlight stuff but not needed

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

His effort in the centre 15 seconds after he was subbed in wasn’t VFL standard.

Was better after that.

I think his impact was noticable because Drury was so bad.

 

[hotchilli]

I think his impact was noticable because Drury was so bad.

Not at all, 11 touches @ 100%, 3 score involvements.

He was providing a strong outlet on a wing and was involved in a a number of offensive chains in the fourth quarter.

Whos idea or choice was it to recruit him to us was it,

 

[tazaa]

Have to say his game was good. Used it well. Ran hard. Have been against him being anywhere near the 23 but yesterday he was a contributor. Not against keeping him on as sub if he maintains that level.

i fretted when i saw him being subbed in but agree, he went all right, without mocking Drury who will be better for the run but prolly needs to find his legs at the level in te vfl.


but i suspect as personall become available he may have others in that spot, its tricky with a su because it tends to disrupt continuity, i recall a few years ago froggy had a terrable run of being names as sub.

 

[King Corey]

I like him. Good height, covers the ground well and seems a really honest player - definitely goes when it's his turn. Seems a pretty calm head.

His use is good most of the time (both feet too), it's just you have this preconception that it won't be.

Wasn’t he fairly decent last time he came on as the sun too?

One of the reasons having him available as sub helps cos we can get full games into the younger players at whatever level.

I cant recall. Last time I remember him coming on as sub was Freo and hes cost us 4 goals and nearly the game lol
