Another solid game by Howat

[Big Punt]

We will remain crap whilst players like Hartigan, Hyde and Howat command a place in our top 22.

Honest triers, but not good enough.

 

[Heisenberg_]

well there are some real stupid people in here aren't there

Good to see you can finally admit that you're stupid and know jack about footy, Howatt is average and is a player that we would keep at old Richmond, crap Richmond, don't you want to be a strong club that doesnt have a bar of 23 year old one sided stupid footballers.
Clubs like West Coast wouldn't even look at him.
But if you want to stay crap keep pumping him up but you're bound for disappointment

 

[C-Dog]

A real nothing game today.

I was a bit 50/50 on him up until now but now i thi8nk he will be extremly lucky to be at t he club next year.

yeah i didnt really know what i thought, but i dont see him getting much better

He's 22 and doing well. He rarely turns the ball over and has good skills. I bet you if players such as Braun were in our side, everyone would be saying he's crap too

LOL at you comparing Braun to Howatt, Howatt isn't fit to wipe Braun's arse

Are you also one of those who compare Lids to Judd?

 

[kainokaino]

hes not really comparing howat to braun,

hes just saying we underate our own players,

howat will definetly be at the club next year

and will be elevated to the senior list.

And what we are saying is that if he is there and part of our best 22 we will continue to struggle. Howat is best suited as a depth player not a best 22 player. The type of guy that can come in a cover for an injured star. Put it this way if he was at a top 10 side he would be running around in the seconds on a full time basis.

yeah like david rodan is running around in the 2nds at port

 

[One-eyed Tiger]

Didn't notice any obvious ones. He was ripped off after tackling Crawford. Crawford got a free for being tackled too high which was crap, but he was caught holding the ball

Yeah, definitely ripped off. Which game were you watching?
He had Crawford cold just had to lay a reasonable tackle, something I'm yet to see him do.

Howat is good at running and that's about it. Like many at our club he is good in one area but lets himself down in too many others.
He gets into trouble by being one sided and has absolutely no defensive skills (ie tackling, spoiling, putting his body on the line). If only we could morph Howat and Krak and give Krak the running ability of Howat.

He tries hard and I would be tempted to persist with him if he wasn't so SOFT. How do you teach someone courage? I could almost forgive this and look for improvement if he was younger but unfortunately at 22 (23 in Jan) he's no youngster yet he still looks like a boy playing amongst men.
To improve, our players need to be able to win one on one contests.
Howat can't do that. He's not alone and like the others at the club should be weeded out.

He's a poor man's Tivendale who looks good in space.
How people can bag Tivendale and praise Howat is beyond me.

By god I'd hope he tries hard as would any AFL listed player. He kicks reasonably well and finds space but then it's pretty easy to find space when you don't go anywhere near your opponent.
Too many shortcomings. Won't make it. Squib. One dimensional. But knowing our club, he will be elevated onto the list at year's end.

Yet another shyzen game

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Yeh his gone

 

[RichosGuns]

Shocking game, he surely has to be the most hungry player at Richmond. Everytime he gets the ball 70m out he will look to run 10m and kick a goal. HUNGRY

That picture is after the tackle when Crawford ducked his head, spread his arms out and played for the free. Tivva was no better than Howat in his first couple of seasons

and look how good he is now right?

 

[PLSC]

another shit game by a pretty shit player

not good enough to clean king's boots

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Howat is awful. I just don't understand how people can berate our lack of skill and decision making and then turn around and praise Howat because every time he receives his handful of uncontested possessions he takes a bit of a run. Yes, other players make the same continual mistakes, Johnson and Tivendale among them but does that mean we should keep persisting with these types of players?

 

[PHX]

Have fun in the VFL Howat.

Its where you belong.

As well as your mate Tivendale.

You two have fun this weekend.

This must surely spell the end of Tivendale's career at RFC.
