Player Watch Noah Howes

[riddick78]

Not good news for Ash you wouldn't think.

Looks like there's gonna be a list squeeze at the end of the year, we are linked to 3 players??? from this years draft, plus these 2, as much as O'Bree says these 2 (Noah and Roan) could play this year, unless there's an injury crisis, i can't see that happening, these players will be long term prospects.

Going to be quite interesting to compare the careers of Noah and Archer May over the next few years considering it seemed likely that the Pies were going to take Archer at pick 8 until the Bombers swooped in and nabbed him first. Hopefully we’ve ended up with the better one

We may have been going to take Noah all along.

 

[nickyds35]

had some pretty significant stress fracture and collarbone injuries in his draft year from memory, which seemed like the main reason he went undrafted.

Otherwise, has performed well at all levels, and still only 19.

That’s possible

 

[nahnah]

Whelp we can compare his performances to Archibald or whatever the other dudes name was and see which ones ends up better

Possibly bit of smoke behind the windows

We have the best defence in the league, how are we exposed down back?

You loose Moore or Frampton we have no KPB gaps to fill the void. We have played without McStay, Mihocek and Membrey at times this year…we manage to work it out with cameo’s from Cox and because we have greater depth forward. West showing good signs by all reports as well.

Also our strong Defensive stats are not just to do with the 6-7 defenders that play in the D50, it’s about team pressure and our forwards are also a large part of our defensive structure.

A big lad who takes contested grabs and kicks goals, happy with that. Once he is in our system hopefully has a lot more improvement in him yet.

We have played without Moore and Howe as well and our backline still remained best in the league.

Has to be better than Mason straight out of the box doesn’t he

No he doesn’t, don’t put your hatred of a player into this thread.

Does his bended knee look odd to anyone else?

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Has anyone watched the first video highlights package here? Has to be the worst highlights package anyone has put together... Didn't even register a possession the first 9 snippets, and in the 10th he kicked a point from close range...

Was this a stitch up?

It's not a highlights package, it's just every time he interacted with the play within a game, to give a fuller picture of what he actually did, rather than just the good stuff. Surely you noticed that the "highlights package" was all from within a single game?

 

[Budgie]

We have Charlie Dean as back-up for backline. He would be playing better at state level than any option we could have defeated in MSD

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

i think he gets number 45 guernsey and Roan gets 34 or otherway around

 

[BillyElliott]

Tommy will get #34.

 

[Cyclops]

His nickname has to be "Idea" now, surely?

 

[Jen2310]

34 is off the table until November for Tommy you'd imagine.
45 and one of the other 40's would be ideal for rookies.

[yeah man]

It's just a genetic mutation = extra quad muscle. It will give him a leg up on his opposition once he's playing seniors. lol

Settle Mason

[Hugg]

Go to the back line
Frampton????

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Go to the back line
Frampton????

Could be a solid idea.

Not sure how great of a fit he is next to Charlie West, as both seem like the "keep it simple, fly for the ball in a pack" kind of forwards.

Compare that to his terrific mix of Suze and strength along with agility and speed, and putting those traits to work in defense could be a great move for him.

Happy to watch him develop either way, but I wouldn't be shocked if he moved to defense at some stage.

Don't know if you're pulling my leg haha.
