Howe vs Crisp is an interesting debateBest acquisition from another Club since Bucks.
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 vs Crisp is an interesting debate
Darren Jolly and Luke BallHard 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)
Both very successful careers at Collingwood but also very short careers due to age and injury. I’d rate Howe above them both.Darren Jolly and Luke Ball
Anthony Rocca? He's a bit different too given we had Sav, but he did play for SydneyHard to compare given Crisp was a no name 6th gamer when we recruited him as steakknives so, whilst Howe obviously an established quality player.

Was he pre or post Bucks?Anthony Rocca? He's a bit different too given we had Sav, but he did play for Sydney
Was he pre or post Bucks?
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.

Sav had an almost perfect set shot kicking action - straight lines - no fancy, bendy, round the corner stuff....given we had Sav..m
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.Licuria was from Sydney too IIRC.
Trading in a bloke who went on to garner two B&Fs and two AAs wasn't terrible. Jimmy Clement for the win!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.

Retired about five years too soon though, sadlyTrading in a bloke who went on to garner two B&Fs and two AAs wasn't terrible. Jimmy Clement for the win!

We were on a bit of a roll in the mid-90s and early 00sTrading in a bloke who went on to garner two B&Fs and two AAs wasn't terrible. Jimmy Clement for the win!
Jimmy was one of my favourite players.Trading in a bloke who went on to garner two B&Fs and two AAs wasn't terrible. Jimmy Clement for the win!
Jimmy was one of the best 1 on 1 defenders I've seenJimmy was one of my favourite players.
I think we like Howe in defence and only to move forward as needed.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’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.Anyone else want to see Howey as a permanent forward for next few games.

I'd keep him there for now.Anyone else want to see Howey as a permanent forward for next few games. Forward line of Howey, Checkers, Krueger, Hill, Shooter and Jordy.

He’s awesome. Still can’t believe we swapped him for Ben Kennedy.Thought he was cooked pre his injury. Has come back and looks like he could play 2 more seasons.
