Toast Jeremy Howe - The Stud

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Interesting that hes no longer trying to take mark of the year. Hes still taking mark of the week though but somehow his marking attempts always seem to have the team in mind rather than still going for everything as he tended to do at Melbourne

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Hopefully he takes it to another level under our new coach! (Couldn't resist)

He might be retired by then

(Couldn't resist )

I don't believe you honestly expect us to make finals from here, Mr Viewed. I'm a fan of the man too but his expiration date is unfortunately about to lapse.

Finals this year? Odds to far to be overcome.
17 games left, using the 13 wins to make finals theory, we'd need 12 games in 17, no very unlikely.

And I assume you're aware of what Bucks said in relation to his future prospects and us not making the finals? He'll be a man of his word, of that I have no doubt.

Indeed I do.
But will Mr Ed tell him, no, you're staying!

I don't get involved who what where.

Whoever is the coach will get my support.

I have no angst over it, one way or another.

Fair enough. I'm supportive but I also want to see us succeed. If getting the next gun key forward is what it takes or a new coach, I'm all for it.
What would you put the odds of Buckley being our coach in 2018 at?

I think 6/1

Why?

Mr Ed makes the decision, Mr Ed is the only person that matters in the decision

Would you bet on him staying? I don't think Ed would be able to, or willing to keep Bucks in if he chose to step down or our season suggested he should. As much as Ed is the head honcho, he's not blind to the feelings of the masses.

I wouldn't bet no.

Its a no brainer he should play only back, not because hes an awful forward, but because he is extremely good at playing down back, every aspect of his game improves out of this world.

Then you still see the idiots posting on the collingwood facebook page telling the club that Howe needs to be sent forward.

How stupid can you get, are you seriously going to take a 12-15 disposal 1 goal game(probably around his mark up forward, he really isnt much better than average up there) over the 20-22 disposal, 8-10 mark games games hes pulling off from half back?

Its nothing more than a waste of talent if Jeremy Howe plays anywhere besides the back half of the ground.

 

[Buckley is my hero]

There's a rumour going around that Howe was late arriving at Holden Centre before the Geelong game yesterday.

A trainer was heard calling out to him:

"Have you forgotten which team you play for?"

(Melbourne was at Etihad stadium)

 

[surfer1]

Grundy, Treloar and Howe AA bound.

No Pendles?

 

[Rorzza]

No Pendles?

I wouldn't have thought so!

 

[left at home]

Leave Howe down back, career best form, don't mess with that.
Liked us getting Howe as a forward, but the level he is at down back now, did not think he could achieve that form.

The champs wedding today congrats Jeremy Howe

Looks like most of the boys are there.

Some people live to perpetuate their Buckley hate.

Where as a perennial hater never goes away.

ummmm.....a double post on a comment left 2.5 years ago.

I think we need to call a medic here. you have officially ‘lost’ it.

No need to go around hating on people. Not a great agenda.

 

[Nuwanda]

On another note, I can’t understand why Jeremy Howe isn’t regarded as an ‘A’ grade player for the Pies.

He is a terrific player and leader at the club and I think he holds the backline together. Very rarely is he beaten.

Agree, he's very consistent. He did say earlier this year that the two big fellas - Roughy and Moore playing the key positions has helped him. He does not have to take the monsters anymore. This may prolong his career.

Important to note on this day Jeremy has 17 games to get to the magic 100 game mark for the pies.

Go forth and multiply young man.

Should get it easy.

You would hope so on your wedding night.
