Review Please remind me why we traded Dougal Howard?

[gbear]

Dougal played his best game yesterday, sadly he will go missing next week.

we could debate trading him extensively, but history will show whether it was a mistake in the future,

Bump

This thread has aged well in the space of a week

Close to being Richmond's best player

Just pointing out I was right yet again

Just pointing out I was right yet again

No argument here

Put the first 5 minutes of this game in this thread, whoever goes to post how much we miss Dougal or need him can watch that then lock the thread. Discussion over.

 

[elbarton]

Should of traded him for Ben Brown when we had the chance

 

[all seeing eye]

Off the ground with cut nose, really contrast that to Marshall or Dursmas actions.

A consistent good McKenzie is much better then a flash in the pan great game Howard.

Numb nuts looked alright when Carlisle was baby sitting him.

As predicted Howard had a mare of a game tonight. Hope he enjoys watching next weeks game

 

[It Just Is]

Better as a forward

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

As I said through the week, he is an average to below average defender, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. He is no worst or better than McKenzie

Carlisle & Ryder made him look better at times this season, just like Jonas & Ryder did in the past.
He’s out of his depth without them.

The Dulmial Gun has him covered in pretty much every facet of the game.

thats why, case closed.

Got his fist to a few tonight that clurey wouldn't have been able to reach

Drafted as a CHF with Logan Austin as CHB and who knows Frampton might've been seen as a Hoff MK 2.

We move on from the could'a beens and look forward to the might be's. Dooogs had a bad night and because he's not on our list anymore I really don't care...... spilt milk.

Why is he compared to McKenzie anyway, he'd be going against Clurey for a spot in the 22.

Howard is a much better one on one defender than Clurey.

I’d be interested to hear what you base this on.

He had a stinker last night but if you put a line through a defender every time they have a stinker you'd have nothing but a list full of midfielders & forwards.. Clurey has awful games here & there every year for instance, just saying.

Re- title of this thread.

Your Honour, I hereby tender Exhibit 'A' :

Last night's game.

The prosecution rests!

PS: I honestly liked the guy when he was here, but was as flaky as a Danish puff pastry.
Barely played more than a couple of good games even at SANFL level eg. GF versus Sturt when a 5foot 3inch midget gave him some lip after he botched an uncontested ball over the boundary line, and he cowered away and didn't give a yelp all match.

We haven't lost diddly squat by trading him.
