Player Watch Jeremy Howe

[Rooosterboy]

Hard to compare given Crisp was a no name 6th gamer when we recruited him as steakknives so, whilst Howe obviously an established quality player.

Howe is probably the best established player traded in since Bucks.

( yeah bucks was only him his second year too but was already an established high profile star)

Darren Jolly and Luke Ball

Darren Jolly and Luke Ball

Both very successful careers at Collingwood but also very short careers due to age and injury. I’d rate Howe above them both.

Anthony Rocca? He's a bit different too given we had Sav, but he did play for Sydney

Was he pre or post Bucks?

Post, traded at end of 96.

I didn’t get the sense that he was holding back due to his arm. I wonder if he gave himself more of a license to fly for balls this week simply because Melbourne only really has one forward, and he didn’t have to be as defensively accountable.

They look to mark it more often when they're more worried about the small forwards than the tall forwards.

Licuria was from Sydney too IIRC.

 

[NMBB]

....given we had Sav..m

Sav had an almost perfect set shot kicking action - straight lines - no fancy, bendy, round the corner stuff

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Licuria was from Sydney too IIRC.

Absolutely although like crisp he was pretty much a young hopeful nobody. Except unlike crisp he was also a major injury risk with two knee recos already as a junior. The knees turned out fine so he was a great pickup.


EDIT

According to Wikipedia the swans drafted Licuria partly because ARocca was one of his best mates and hopefully that would encourage Rocca to stay in Sydney. That trick certainly failed!

Trading in a bloke who went on to garner two B&Fs and two AAs wasn't terrible. Jimmy Clement for the win!

Retired about five years too soon though, sadly

We were on a bit of a roll in the mid-90s and early 00s

Jimmy was one of my favourite players.

Jimmy was one of the best 1 on 1 defenders I've seen

Anyone else want to see Howey as a permanent forward for next few games. Forward line of Howey, Checkers, Krueger, Hill, Shooter and Jordy. Means Frampton goes back were he belongs and Dean doesn't get dropped. I reckon Krueger can chop out DC for 10%. Howey seems a natural forward, leads, takes spekkys, good kick and will demand a quality oppo defender which could release Checkers and Krueger. Could prolong his career and be a great way to finish his career kicking some goals . You know I'm right.

I think we like Howe in defence and only to move forward as needed.

more likely to see him pinch hit up forward as he gets on but his ability to win it back at half back is crucial.

I’ve thought exactly this for years while Checkers has been fighting the good fight as a lone wolf KPF. It’s been the general view that Howey couldn’t be spared from the backline. Whether or not that was correct, the situation has changed now, with Frampton demonstrating he is a competent defender and Dean progressing visibly. I think the benefits from moving him forward would exceed the costs in defence.

 

[Kes1984]

Thought he was cooked pre his injury. Has come back and looks like he could play 2 more seasons.

I'd keep him there for now.

He’s awesome. Still can’t believe we swapped him for Ben Kennedy.

 

[Robroy22]

Renaissance Man is having a new lease of life. His ability to play both ends (alongside WHE and Frampton) means we have lots of options and he's such a great team man you always know wherever they put him, he'll give us something.

To be fair we also gave up seedsman
