Player Watch Jeremy Howe

[sr36]

Unless Moore's contested marking improves to Cloke levels then I'd wager he's just as susceptible to a "can not compete" in 2v1s as any of the smalls. As for leading into space I'd agree that most KPD in the league would struggle to keep up but in that scenario he'd still only be marginally better than any of DeGoey, Elliot, Stephenson or even Treloar as they are used in the current setup.

If we then reverse the scenario and ask what happens when the opposition try to isolate one of their forwards, who plays on them? I'd much rather Moore than any of the other KPD options on the list.

Regardless, the current setup works fine when the ball is moved quickly and they manage to isolate a forward(granted poor execution as on the weekend) but they struggle when they are held up and the opposition gets numbers back. Other teams have cottoned onto the kick it to Cox mantra and are structuring up accordingly, just as West Coast and Geelong have in the previous two premiership games. Moore forward would help but leaves a hole in defense. Thinking about it I reckon a solution that would better suit the current game plan would be to have Howe push deep forward in such situations. With Moore and Langdon back he's intercept marking is not needed as much and he could afford to play looser, sneaking into the forward line, as far away from Cox as possible, and provide that alternative aerial option. This would be much harder for opposition teams to defend than a second KPF that has a defender assigned to them from the bounce.

One role that I think Darcy would be great at is the Matthew Richardson wingman role.

You know if someone ever figures out human cloning they could make an absolute fortune at Collingwood. Ignoring the likes of Sidebottom you'd order 20 Moore's alone. Two down back, two up front, one for a wing, perhaps one for the ruck and the rest for when the others invariably injure themselves .

Can't believe you've overlooked Moore for the ruck.

Jeez my team is going to suck when a couple of Moore, Sidebottom, Degoey and Crisp have a bad day.

Got to chuck in some Buckley, cloning that wouldn’t go astray.

Be ace to have a jet like them in the team, make us moore powerful

 

[BoxMatrix]

Ice around hamstring... Something to worry about?

Ice around hamstring... Something to worry about?

It's around his quad I think - doesn't seem too bothered by it so maybe a corkie?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Ironically a corkie for Howe would be something to worry about!

Suspect he’s fine though.

 

[Gaben]

Just a corkie - 8 weeks for Howe

 

[legendstatus]

More likely just precautionary, same as Elliott- had the game won long time ago and Bucks used the buffer.

Has anyone beaten Howe this season?

Himself vs Geelong

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Not sure if his body is letting him down, but certainly not jumping into packs like he used too. Playing a much more dour role.

 

[Thefly38]

Himself vs Geelong

Haha so true

 

[Mooresome]

Best game for Howe this season imo ,could be the start of Howe from last season fingers x.

 

[Shaneprice97]

He’s getting abit less of the ball, just under 16 disposals a game, compared to 19 a game last year and 22 a game in 2017.

Defensively hes still elite and playing very well in that regard.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Him and Beams seem to be going through the motions, hopefully will hit top form at the right time. He is a great match up for players like Dangerfield and Martin deep forward.

 

[dmoore30]

Had an interrupted pre season due to his corkie injury.

Usually players who've had an interrupted year hit their form a little later on, nothing to worry about imo.

 

[TradeDraft]

Is it me or has Howe been out of Form nearly all season?

Not taking many Hangers and his Kicking not been as good as it was last year
