We've had some magnificent ones over the last century and a half+, but I think we have to proclaim this bloke the best of all time now.
Agreed?
I don't think even Gaz snr did it with the monumental consistency that JHowe does it...He's pretty good but I think G Ablett snr is still the best

Yeah, Robbo was good.Russell Robertson, Brett Burton and Howe are the ones that stand out to me this century.
Modra and Ablett when I was a kid
Yeah, he certainly in top ten in last 40 years for sure.Currently, Howe easily
Over the last 50 years, he would still be top 10
Think Howe's way ahead of Robbo and Burton, as good as they were.Russell Robertson, Brett Burton and Howe are the ones that stand out to me this century.

NopeNope. Trevor Barker, Ablett, Jesaulenko, Hunter and Bosustow probably top him.
Shaun Smith not bad either.
Howe is very consistent and not many regular high markers in this decade that readily come to mind.
Andrew Walker and Brett Burton were good ones previous decade.
Every match has cameras everywhere now so no high mark gets missed.
Would have been heaps not caught on camera a few decades back. Especially Trevor Barker as Saints rarely were on tv in his time.
Maybe two or three Saints matches a year on tv so most of his marks were probably missed.

A dickhead but none the less some of Cappers marks were huge.
Agree.I remember there was hysteria about his mark against North, and it was good, but the one against Fitzroy (which might have been the previous week) was way better.

I remember it as the other way aroundI remember there was hysteria about his mark against North, and it was good, but the one against Fitzroy (which might have been the previous week) was way better.
Brett Burton criminally under rated here
Nope
Howe is a better aerialist than all of them. Nobody has taken as many big hangers as him.
It could explain why the Saints were down the bottom of the ladder most of those years.He was only 183cm, and 71 kg and yet played many games at FF and FB, though he was talented enough to play well in virtually any position. Think about that. He was only small but could play key position at either end!
How? Well many reasons,
David McKay, Swan, the best, most consistent, and reliable mark I've seen. Forget the showponies, this guy outmarks them.
