So How is gone, and according to http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-20/i-have-something-to-prove-admits-new-magpie-howe has some thought about the past and the future.
I have read and reflected, which was tops and enjoyable and all, and feel it is only polite to respond as though I were sending an open letter to the jumping idiot, or preferably in a debate, or in some kind of wrestling match. So here goes my response to the indifferent footballer with the occasional pogo stick that was Howe. Note - for ease of reference, Howdy Doody comments in normal but bolder text, but my brain speaks in italics.
COLLINGWOOD (a club that apparently warrants uppercase, because of lotsa members) recruit Jeremy Howe admits he has something to prove at his new club (I'll leave this one alone because it's so sad it's freaking obvious)
"The consistency has obviously been an issue ... I feel like I do have the ability to be a consistent player" Howe said on Tuesday. Well maybe leaving it until 10 hours ago to reach this Epiphany is a key part of the problem, Son.
"From game zero to 100, I haven't been able to do that consistently". Well sunshine ... A) no shit, Sherlock and B) why on earth is zero expressed in a word but 100 in numerals you dumbarse? While I realise this is likely a product of editing rather than specifically you, I see exactly no reason not to lay this on you on general principles. Also I'm blown away by your eloquence in saying you haven't been able to be a consistent player on a consistent basis. You should get your thoughts out there more often because we can all learn.
"I feel like the next 100 are going to be the ones (where) I can provide the footy I know I can play" and I specifically note you don't choose to bring these imaginary future 100 games to the club that, you know, gave you your AFL opportunity or anything like that.
"I have something to prove... Again, no shit dude ... I need to come here and work really hard to get into the side" so we are at this point. AGAIN. Git needs to work hard to get into a side that, incidentally, finished one place higher on the ladder than Melbourne, so we are really talking an epic leap to real, grown up standards. Don't embarrass yourself further in this manner, you arm-sleeve tool.
So now there is some yada about stalled contract negotiations and playing the role he wants to play, which I don't choose to notice as not suiting my current agenda of venom, but jumping J can tough it out like the big guy he is - in apparently his next 100 games.
"It also helped that Howe grew up a Collingwood fan before Melbourne recruited him" don't you even dare, you utter utter utter BASTARD! if he truly said this, he has no concept of sensitivities of the Demon faithful. You could almost think he hasn't read Benwah's flowchart or something, hard as that is to accept. Are you not aware, Jeremy, that EVERY elite AFL player in the universe grew up a Melbourne fan, you underachieving tool? Do they show up on Melbourne's list each time they are out of contract? No they don't because they have honour and integrity. And in some instances freak about the facilities. But I digress. I now officially despise you, Jeremy, for this blatantly insensitive comment and regard you in the same manner as I would an unplumbed but well frequented toilet facility.
"His father, also a mad Collingwood fan, once gave him Nathan Buckley's autograph". Now it makes sense. My dad once gave me a program from Waiting for Godot signed by Geoffrey Rush, which is why I left my job and life and loving family for a minor but crucially important walk on in Shine. These things do happen.
Seriously approaching vomit station, Jez.
Some other drivel occurs and being AFL website gets committed to print, then the next part of the touching story is that Howe craps on a bit about the exciting opportunity with a young, talented team like the Pies and all. This would be because obviously Jesse and Gus are well past it what with not being young or having Jeremy and Collingwood's talent. Then some shit about opportunity to play finals - which makes me suddenly sad about Howes dyslexia given he has mistakenly signed a contract thinking it actually said Hawthorn.
I can't comment further on the article except to say for me Howe doesn't even justify a bullet point in fisted forever when there are serious nonentities with tickets on themselves who bring the role a touch of class.
I will sleep now forgetting this turkey ever existed. But always interested to know your thoughts on Howes farewell, this gorgeous article and his amazingly consistent finals future.
Frawley didn't come close to this rubbish.
Queens Birthday, Melbourne to slam the pies by a record. And someone to humiliate Howe brutally and finally. I think it would be nice if it is someone like Harmes, even though I'm not certain how that match up is possible. Or Heretia maybe - he's got to be good for something.
