I must admit I really like the look of Howes from South Adelaide, a lot.

He’s been added to the SA u18 squad as an overeager and will play the Allies 3 days before the MSD.

Given his league form and his size, he’s going to be a handful at the u18 champs.

The injury history might turn some off, but the stress fractures was as a 16 year old, he missed last year with a collarbone.

I think there’d be a lot of hype around him if he was kicking goals like he has in the VFL vs the SANFL and on our list at the minute.

He looks to have very good wheels and a great vertical, a rare combo for the MSD. You generally get the non AFL athletes at this stage.

He ticks just about every box imo and genuine KPF size at 196cm, late developer/hidden because of injury.


Howes is 100% the Harry Taylor/Isaac Smith/Leek Aleer 19 year old type that goes in the top 20 pre-MSD with another 6 months of exposed form.
Howes highlights got me ready to run through Bradys office wall and sign him up for 4 years!!!

Jokes aside he does look good!
 
He doesn’t turn 19 until late in the year either.

So he’s actually younger than the likes of Duursma and Hardeman.

He’s only a few weeks older than Will Dawson.

He kicked 3 on Daniel Curtin a few weeks ago in the SANFL.

He kicked 3 against Glenelg on the weekend (last years premier) and 1.3 the week before.

He’s also taken 10 contested marks in his 5 senior league games for the season. 2 CM a game is elite, let alone for an 18 year old in a major state league.

The Allies aren’t the strongest this year, if he kicks a bag in the champs game, I’d be amazed (or dispirited) if he’s not North bound.
SOLD!......gee for an 18yo of that height he looks pretty well filled out physically.

Yeah but they wouldn't have had Toby Pink playing for them.
 
Stress fractures and broken bones. Does sound like Chom.
;)

I love the MSD. Comparing some candidates to McKay or Curnow. I do it too, we all do it and get excited but still makes me laugh.

Well he’s younger than Dan Curtin, the player he kicked a few of those goals on and the player Adelaide spent 2 x R1 picks to get.

Here’s another goal from the weekend

Nah, I like him, so much so I’ve sent his highlights to a few north mates along with a run down on his stats. Think he is just what we need + maybe a mature age big bodied mid whom will just about run through a brick wall to get his chance at the top level and therefore show some of our young guys what it’s like to play for the jumper.
